Midnight Purple R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R Toprank Importers

R34 GT-R still don't turn 25 years old until 2024. R33 GT-R however are legal as 1995 and 1996 cars in 2021. 

Vehicles produced in 1996, start to turn 25 years old in 2021. Here is a partial list of cars, varients, and others that are legal to import to the US starting in 2021.  Some cars, like the 1996 R33 GT-R had a few changes for the series 2 car, others like the Toyota Classic, were so rare and weird, we may never see one.
