Something like this really makes me want to brush up on auto import laws.

If you want it for a track car, there should be no problem importing it. Once you want to drive it on the roads, it gets a little tricky.

If a car is over 25 years old (at least in NY), anything goes. You can register it no problem (no emissions or safety inspections). If it's less than 25 years I have heard of a way to do it. It involves importing it into Canada and registering it there where the laws are more favorable as far as foreign-market cars are concerned. Then, Maine and New Hampshire (I think) are two states where importing a car with a previous Canadian registration is relatively easy. Then, once it's registered in the US in one of those states, you are free to register it elsewhere. This craziness means you have to have a residence in Canada and Maine/NH or have very good friends there since you would be selling the car to them on paper only to re-purchase later. Don't quote me on any of this. It's just what I can remember from a conversation a few months ago.
