Importing a GT-4...In 2009... ?, 15 year law... Options

[Legit94GT]

So 2009 marks 15 years after 1994(i know i am good at math )
With that said i know that there is a 15 year law in regards to importing cars, and something along the lines like after 15 years you can import cars with out having to get them crash tested for saftey standards. But i have searched this forum and the web and am having a hard time finding EXACTLY how the law is writen, and what it entails, even on the US Customs site:/ Most sites are vauge and not really informative:(

Does anybody know? or have a link to a website with the proper information?

Much thanks to those who help:)

Over here in Ireland and the UK we are constantly importing cars from all shapes and styles of celica's to older vintage models right up to the new Nissan GTR, most of these cars we can have shipped, cleared at customs, SVA'd (put to UK/Ireland road legal spec), and MOT'd (vehicle worthiness check) and registered for less than buying the car here as a Euro Spec car. My first ST185ATA GT FOUR Celica cost me just £1600 Sterling (do your maths on the US dollar and thats around $3k in todays money) all i had to do was collect it at the docks in Dublin and take it to the MOT centre and get it tested. So definately worth it here.

thats crazy. I wish $3k would get me a st185, I've been looking around (i want another car) at 240sx and just checked on the st185's, they go for 8K+ here.
