How about purchasing a US vehicle that is 15 years or older? IE, a 1991 Acura Integra?

In the RIV FAQ, it says:

Vehicles Over 15 years old (except buses)

All vehicles (except buses) that are over 15 years or older by the date of manufacture are exempt from the Registrar of Imported Vehicles program. You must be able to prove the age of the vehicle to a Customs officer.

Do I just purchase the vehicle, tell them at the border that it's at least 15 years old with documentation of my purchase, IE bill of sale, date of manufacture, etc. and I'm good to insure it at ICBC?
