Bill you got it dead on. When I brought my 41 across all I had to do is fax them a copy of the title prior to 72 hrs arriving at the border. I phoned US customs after the 72 hrs and gave them the vin number of the truck, they ran it through their system and told me it cleared and I could bring it across anytime with the original title.
Canada customs wants to see the bill of sale so they can get there taxes.( the Gst)
MTO wants original title, bill of sale,Form 1 from customs saying what taxes were paid at the border(usually just the GST but sometimes the PST as well) and another form stating what the exchange rate was on the day it crossed the border. Also MTO required an appraisel on my 41, you pay the PST on the higher value of the two.(the appraisel or the bill of sale)
Alot of guys around here won't touch nothing without a Title. I don't know whats all involved bringing a parts vehicle across or an untitled vehicle. Will have to do some homework on that.
