Bill of sale???? I bought it off of ebay from a private seller, would the ebay item page be good enough along with the paypal receipt? How can I mark it has no recalls? I thought the recalls didn't start until the 60's?

Nelson-Your ebay page should be good enough to prove your value, but you should have a bill of sale with the vehicle identification number on it. Anyone could have downloaded the ebay page, you need to prove it's your jeep.
I wouldn't worry about recalls. I've never been asked on vehicles that old. You still have to get a safety in Canada anyway to put it on the road, so any safety issues are the responsibility of your mechanic to advise you. For old historic vehicles, if it didn't come from the factory with it, you don't need it. If you do install modern safety equipment on it, it must be functioning properly(like turn signals, safety belts...). Some mechanics are hesitant to allow a vehicle without safety belts or signals to pass-shop around for a knowledgeable mechanic as you don't need the stuff to pass a safety. John

I phoned the us customs and they said to just get the seller to type up a bill of sale and sign and date it. So I have that now. According to the canadian gov't I just need a provincial inspection. Does anybody know if thats the inspection that canadian tires does or is that the inspection just about any shop can do? I know canadian tire does both inspections but the basic inspection can be done by any shop that is certified. But is that the provincial inspection? When ever I am looking for answrs everybody is closed, I will have to wait until tomorrow.

importing
hi again.john said about recalls and i just brought a truck thru us customs and they mentioned about recalls.a friend of mine is dealing in hi performance and antique vehicles ,cars trucks and boats.he has probably bringing 10 a month thru customs.he is the one who mentored me on importing.i did what he told me and have not had any promblems.on the other hand a friend just got nabbed by can customs for not doing legit paper work.his total cost and fines levied against him was 15000.00 can.i brought back a new 4 wheeler on a deal and had to take it to ctc for inspection so i could obtain a ont title but that was because it was new and never titled in canada.that inspection is for new vehicles for dot.regards jim.

Tomorrow I will be faxing my clear title, bill of sale, passport, ebay listing with a picture of the GPW and a cover letter with all the particulars listed incase they have trouble reading the faxed title.
 I did not know you had to bring the vehicle through the border between 8 AM and 5 PM.What about the inspections???? A 42 only needs a provincial inspection is that the one that any certified inspector can do or is that the canadian tire inspection? My Canadian tire is picky. Here is a question for you, I was going to rent a Uhaul car trailer and bring it back with that. Are you allowed to bring a Uhaul to Canada with US plates on it? I was going to bring it to Canada and then drive it back to the border town, it has a Uhaul place right at the border. Will post pictures of the GPW soon.

Nelson-Some mechanics will insist that you have seatbelts and turn signals, etc for a safety. If you attempt to advise them to read the Highway Traffic Act, they will stonewall you and say they know more than you do.
You would be best to ask in advance if they understand how to safety an historic vehicle. If they won't cooperate, find a mechanic who does older cars and knows the regulations. John
