I don't know how this would work, but
bring it into the US, drive over the border,
then get rid of the "old" plates and register
in your state as an old lost plate vehicle that
has not been licenced in a long time.
The VIN is not US registered, so it should
come back as clear, then the only thing is
the bill of sale, I don't know how you want
to handle that, but I think you should be
able to get the plates with out too much
trouble
Good Luck
