I found a 1986 ROW Carrera in Canada a couple years ago that was exactly, 100% the car I was looking for and could never find. The price was very right. I began researching what it would take to import it to the U.S. and it was impossible at the time. Not difficult, impossible.

The DOT and ICE have websites that catalogue the current requirements for importing vehicles into the U.S. and they change the rules frequently. Vehicles are assigned a letter code depending on make/model/year and different rules apply to the myriad of different letter codes. At that time, it was not possible to (legally) import that particular car into the U.S.
