I also live in NJ.
Oh my, where do I begin..... I just purchased a 17K mile, unrestored SS427 out of Winnipeg that was born in Canada (St. Therese), and never left Canada. This makes a huge difference. If the car was imported to Canada and you're taking it back to the states, much easier. If born and raised in Canada and never left, all kinds of BS paperwork (EPA, Homeland Security, Powers of attorney, Canadian ownership docs since there is no title, etc.). A very good friend owns AMJ Campbell in Canada (a moving company who deals with cross border stuff all the time). They hooked me up with Cross Border Solutions, a broker out of Toronto who handled most everything. Car cleared the border and made it here in 6 weeks. Needed to wait another 30 days to get all the original paperwork needed to make it mine. Then NJ required more paperwork. Needed the ownership docs and the bill of sale notorized. Had to get everything re-done. Took 90 days to be able to get my title. Real PITA. I knew what I was getting involved in, but the car was so special, I figured the juice was worth the squeeze. Not an easy process. Just make sure you know what you're getting involved in. NJ was most of the problem for sure. Stupid laws here.
