Wait. Is it really illegal to possess a car imported younger than 25 years old in the US? I thought it was just road-legality thing.

I think you can own one for off-road use, but you couldn't register it for road use. Especially here is Commie-fornia. It's near impossible to register an imported car even if it's not affected by the 25 year rule. There are ways around it like the "show-and-display" rule, but there are only 500 allotted per year for what's deemed "historically significant" cars like a 959. Even then, you can only drive it 2500 miles a year (I believe) and most of these exemptions sell out within hours.
I need to build a warehouse/shop in Arizona where they have freedom. 'Murrica.

"This is the land of free... unless you're talking about nice imported cars, which are not legal here, because they are easier to find than methamphetamine and we need to dispose something, so we'll keep looking like we're actually doing something here."
I do have one tip, though. Build yourself a race track (I think it's legal to build a race track there, more legal than here, at least.) and all of the importing problems just go away.

I need to buy a 190e...
EDIT: Cool cars I saw at the track.
This really tall FD was the same color as my car.

I never realised those Volvos could look that good.
Love the wheels on the R32. Enkei RP02s I believe. One of my Roadster friends has a set.

I had to find out more about this. 2 740 Turbos were raced in the SCCA in 1986. They were competitive in class on speed alone, but the 2.3 turbo's thirst counted against them.
Full story here. (Check some of the other 740 adverts at the bottom of the page too.)
They even got used in advertising:

Cool, a Carrera Panamericana car is in there. Those things have been a fixture of the race since it came back 20 years ago. Always cool to see them run.
