go up there with an enclosed trailer. take it 100% apart. take the doors/hood/trunk off, engine/tranny out, all interior peices, wheels (tires cant go through customs from another country) suspension, everything. make it 1000 peices. get a broker and have them meet you at the boarder. pay your $500 bucks and then re-assemble it as a 'kit car'
dont ask me how I know this.

I know this from a few friends who have brought cars into the states.
GO through all of the paper work, check out how the vehicle must be brought in the US and through customs, check out all of that. Go beyond the .gov site that everyone turns to with no luck. get ahold of a vehicle importer/broker. Motorworx is no longer in business so your fucked there. If you go across the boarder with a truck and trailer, buy the car, and I dont know why you couldnt disassemble the car once its yours. Your disassembling the car for purposes of bringing it through US customs. Thats how my friends have done it here. You can have a container with all of the parts to build a car and go through customs but you cant have a car thats ready to roll and go through customs.
Also, this is about bringing the car into the US. not about legalizing it. Thats a whole nother subject. You can completly disassemble it, bring it in, re-assemble it and then have it inspected for a kit car VIN number. Thats another subject.
If it were me, I would just go up there with a trailer and hope for the best comming back through. If they say anything, just say its a race car or some ----.

I contacted them, and the importer.
The deal is that they will not allow YOU to drive off with the car, it has to be carried by a licesned, and bonded carrier for transport to an Export location. The Exporter said they would charge me 120.00 USD freight to blaine, but the problem is getting it apart. The BCauction people want it carried off to an importer, and the exporter does not do that. This is a rock and a hard place situation. The only way to get THAT car into the states is through a licensed import broker ie: Motorex or one of the companies like that. If they would let YOU drive it off the lot, you would be ok. However since they wont, you have to have it transported to a place that is going to do "the work" to get it DOT/EPA approved, and noone I found would just let me tear it apart myself. They wanna do it, and they wanna charge labor blah blah blah...
Bummer deal really :/
