Not Ranked
Hi from Ottawa,
In my recent and lengthy discussions with Transport Canada it must be noted that the rules apply to kits built in Canada as well. In general if they deem that the kit is in fact an unassembled car then they can demand to see the manufacturers vehicle safety compliance certificate. It should be noted that no kit company has one of these. It is not the absence of a drivetrain that decides this, it is whether it can be made to roll. So if a kit comes with suspension, body, wiring, fuel system etc. it will be deemed an unassembled car. If they deem it this and it is imported it can be refused at the border or if you happen to get it in they can order its removal.
Factory Five gets around this by providing bare frame and body kits and then having tne purchaser find a used mustang to use as the donor for fuel system, suspension, wiring etc.
I am lucky in that I have a frame with all of the suspension that I imported 24 years ago and therefore nothing else that I purchase either separately or as a package has the potential to be deemed an unassembled car.
