you can bring in any car before the 25 year mark it just will not be recognized as federally legal, but states like florida or Washington will sometimes let it pass. but once a car is past 25 years old its considered a classic and is exempt from the bar and nhtsa regs. but that is only after it passes the 25 year mark. it needs to be the exact date.
