If the entire question is about the inspections of vehicles in BA, I can tell you that here for locally registered vehicles is the Vehicle Technical Verification or VTV, nothing special isn’t very strict at all. By now on BA city (CABA) isn’t compulsory, maybe next year. On BA province and other provinces is mandatory from some years ago. On the VTV website you will find what they ask.
I don’t remember how old needs to be a vehicle for be excepted of this VTV (probably an special one is required), my 1964 Jeep isn’t it, for sure needs to be a lot older. I have seen cars like from beginning last century with some special plates and have talked with owners… Also needs a special “classic” register that only allows you to transit for “low speed” streets and strictly forbidden on national roads and highways. Isn’t the same that be accepted as “classic” for be imported.

No, my FJ doesn't have a VW TDi engine, but nonetheless it doesn't have the original engine. Under the hood is a modern Toyota TDi engine transplant. Do you think this would be a problem for some reason?
Here's what I've been able to find online from the AR government itself: http://www.industria...ulos-coleccion/
And also: http://www.industria...ccion/tramites/
Am I reading correctly that, essentially, to technically considered be "classic," the vehicle need only be thirty years old?
I don't actually care about being registered as a classic vehicle--I care about making sure I don't have to go through equipment inspections and/or exhaust emissions testing. Here in the USA it's the old vehicles that are exempt from such tests, so that's what I've been using a frame of reference. Are there no equipment or emissions tests in BA?
From what I've been able to find online (and in English), AR law allows only two imported vehicles per family, so the missus and I were planning on only one truck apiece, anyway. But we want to use them for international roadtrips, thus being able to cross the AR border back and forth is a necessity. Are AR registered cars not supposed to leave the country or something? Surely there are lots of Argentinians going on roadtrips across their own border?
