I don't see how a 19 year old vehicle is even a classic. I had a 1989 S10 Blazer which was fantastic, and I love that to this day. But that Blazer is not a classic, even though it is now 23-24 years old. I see the reasoning, and I understand why, but if we are going to be forgiving older cars for having terrible mileage, I would think our production models would have higher standards, now.
He did what he needed to get them on the road per state law, federal did not agree.

The law is clear that imported cars are not allowed for more than a month or so and cannot be on the road without extensive modifications, paperwork and tests prior to importation and that is only if the car is on the allowable list.
