Another C8 in the USA

Hi.
I was wondering what problems, if any, might be encountered in getting this C8 back into Canada from the US?
Thanks, David

David,
It's not much of a problem to bring a non-running vehicle into the US. All that's needed is for the Canadian bringing it across the border is to complete a US Customs Form 7510 (don't quote me that form number; it's been awhilw since I had tp refer to it!) which is available at the US Customs Office at the border. They will even help you fill it out. At least that's what the Detroit Customs people told me.

Regards,
Jim

Thanks Jim,
Would it be as easy to get a vehicle IN the U.S. back into Canada?
The reason I ask is that this C8 is priced right and is in good condition, it's just in the wrong country.
I am proud to own my C8, and show it to anyone who comes by my shop, but very few if any of the US military vehicle collectors who have seen it are interested.
Thanks, David

Seems this C8 was first noted on this forum last December:
