In general, you can not import a Mexican car to US
as it won't pass Federal regulations. Sure, there
may be some exceptions but you don't want to get involved.

Kentucky may have a few nice cars left. Arizona is the place to go
for truly rust-free cars. Depends on your budget and time.

Suggest contacting the Kentucky motor vehicle office to find
out beforehand what rules apply to transferring title from an
out-of-state car. Each of our wonderful 50 states has its own rules
to follow.
