You certainly can't do that now. But for cars that have come in with the appropriate compliant documentation it can be done. In fact, I went to QLD transport to confirm my Vin as per my import certification and it was already in their system....so all I'd need to do the necessary changes to meet engineering for a pre 89 vehicle and I'm done.
Its all in the import approval compliance documents. And now, the only way you can do it is you must prove your car is actually older than 30 years like Craig's or Don's. Mine is of course a 65 in case that's your next question!!!
