I would start by asking your local DMV people. I THINK that most years of our 
cars met the US federal standards when they were imported. Depending on which 
state you want to register your car, it may or may not have to be restored to 
original (emissions control system) condition before it can be registered.

As far as driving it down, if it has a current Canadian license that is legal 
in the US. If the license has expired, most states have temporary (30 day) 
licenses which you can purchase to use while driving to the state where you 
plan to register it. You'll have to contact your DMV about the details of that, 
too.
