Hi guys I am looking to bring a 93 Allante to New Zealand ( when I find a nice one) and need to satisfy our local Government criteria for a vehicle newer than 20 years.Silly rule I know but over 20 years and they can come in no problem. Newer than twenty and they must meet front impact and emission standards and it has to be as they were built not retrofitted to comply . I also must own it in the States for 90 days before bringing it down here. SO the question is who can tell me what standards these wee cars were built to and who would supply me with documents to prove this to the local gvmt department at this end .HELP PLEASE. Regards Keith

A couple suggestions, the NHTSA 'should' have that information in their records and it 'should' be available but you may have to call them (or email from website). 

www.nhtsa.gov
(202) 366-9561
NHTSA Headquarters
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE
West Building
Washington, DC 20590

Did find this:      http://www.safercar.gov/portal/site/safercar/menuitem.13dd5c887c7e1358fefe0a2f35a67789/?vgnextoid=9c96c95372935110VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCRD

Crash Test Reports
There are three ways to get more detailed information on crash and rollover tests:
Via the U.S. DOT’s docket management system. Vehicle crash test reports from 1999 to present, and details of rollover ratings from 2001 to present, can be downloaded from the DOT docket at http://www.regulations.gov. Conduct a Simple Search and use the following docket numbers:

For detailed rollover rating reports (2001 to present), enter docket #8298.
For detailed frontal NCAP crash test reports (1999 to present), enter docket #4962
For detailed side NCAP crash test reports (1999 to present), enter docket #3835.

Via NHTSA’s Research and Development web page by clicking HERE. The Vehicle Crash Test Database contains engineering data measured for several NHTSA program offices involved in crash testing vehicles, including Research, the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), as well as Compliance. To view NCAP crash test data, ensure your search is limited to New Car Assessment Tests.

Via the National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC). For a fee, all of NHTSA’s NCAP vehicle test reports and high speed films are available from George Washington University’s National Crash Analysis Center Library, Suite 203, 20101 Academic Way, Ashburn, VA 22011. Phone (703) 726-8236. Fax (703)726-8358. http://www.ncac.gwu.edu/filmlibrary/index.html.

Would not the "Certification" (Build Date) Sticker on the left door verify that it complied with all U.S. safety standards in effect on the date of manufacture?  Is that enough to satisfy the NZ government?

[On the subject of cert stickers, I need help.  See separate msg titled Allante Certification Sticker]
