you need a law to allow a certain age car to be shipped in country?

It's TWENTY FIVE YEARS here in the States for cars to be imported that weren't sold here.
It's actually a royal PITA.
Structurally the car is the same, but since there was never a Ford Cougar certified in the U.S. you may have to wait if you wanted a 1994 or such.....

So don't import it through the US. Get a temp tag and drive straight through.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Either way it's most likely REAL fun to deal with customs, US or Canadian, to be legal for that....
