Cars over 21 years old are EPA-exempt (you declare them as over 21 years
old on your EPA 3520-1 form, and supply proof in the form of a vehicle
registration/title document)

Cars over 25 years old are DOT-exempt (you declare them as over 25 years
old on your DOT HS-7 form, and supply proof in the form of a vehicle
registration/title document)

You may be charged importation duties and taxes; you may be subject to the
normal hassle that comes with importing large items from overseas as far
as Customs wanting to make sure there are no hidden drugs, other
contraband or agricultural pests, etc.

If you wind up with a RHD vehicle, or even a LHD vehicle that's been
registered and driven in a LH-traffic country such as the UK, regardless
of the car's safety compliance exemption at the border, do install
headlamp units for the correct side of the road -- they are different!
