However, a Mexican who lives in the interior can import only a pickup truck purchased in the U.S. that is at least ten years old. It must be exported from the U.S.--a three-day process-- and then imported into Mexico. The truck cannot be too big, used for commercial purposes, gasoline engine, etc. Taxes and fees and brokers are involved.
So I will continue to find a way to import my old cars -- permanently. A couple of my Mexican friends say it is possible for cars that are 40 years old or older. We'll see.
Thanks!

Apparently, it may possible to import and naturalize cars 1977 and older, according to one web site listed above in this thread. I will follow up on this possibility. One of my cars races in La Carrera Panamericana and the other is a back-up car. Not expensive, but cute. Here's a photo.
