Not a catch your legislators care about. It was originally built in the US, that is why you as a US resident cannot import it.

Yes, like I said all done to protect the lucrative jeep/SUV market. I can buy a low-mileage ex-USMC M151A2 jeep here in Europe and register it, you on the other hand can only buy one for museum display purposes or use it as an unregistered truck on private property.
