I know for ABSOLUTE CERTAIN that you can NOT. The border inspectors are very savy and will immediately be able to determine that your car is NOT a 1966, but a new creation. If it is not on the RIV list of importable vehicles (it's not), and it's not legitimately older than 15 years, they will either refuse it entry, or (quite likely) allow you to attempt to fraudulently import it and then seize it as contraband. I can not emphasize enough what a very dangerous idea this would be to try.

That said, since Macro Autosports (the Canadian Superformance dealer) won their case (I assume you've read these posts), you should contact Mr. Shok there and enquire about ordering a car and see what he says.
