That is not what I was told in my conversations with CBP/NHTSA. They were very insistent that the 25 year rule would only apply to vehicles physically imported after after they are 25 years old. The year/month of manufacture had to 25 years to the month of importation. I asked them exactly what you are suggesting. Hypothetically, if we were to import a GT-R before it is 25 years old and store it until it hits the 25 year mark and then apply for a title and registration would it be federally legal? Their response was "absolutely not".
I'm not saying that it isn't true in your case and that you can't get it done. However, we are doing it as a business and will be selling these cars so we want to abide by exactly what we are told by the Federal government.
