I think that was done prior to them becoming 25 years old as this just happened recently that they fell in that 25 year window, and it is only R32s currently. The vehicles crushed were mostly R33 / R34s.
I have been looking in to this a lot recently, and almost anything 25 years or older is fair game now.

www.japaneseclassics.com - Import cars, do maintenance on them, clean them up, and include all proper paperwork to register in all 50 states. You do pay a premium, but it might be worth it.
I have read of people doing it themselves and as long as they do their due diligence with the proper paperwork and getting a clean car originally.... it hasn't seemed to be too horrible for them.
I have always wanted to drive to Canada and find a clean one, but it might
actually be cheaper to import a clean one from Japan, lol.
