However, cars can be permitted if imported solely for ‘show’ and ‘demonstration’ purposes, or at 25years of age when the vehicle meet the criteria for an immunity with the Department of Transportation and the EPA.

According to the reports, multiple owners were told by police that their vehicles characteristics were shown fake or incorrect VIN numbers, a difference that along with significant bodywork changes could designate what was thought to be a 1979-1984 years model as a newer year 2000 model.
