Don't assume that regulations that apply to current model year cars will also be applied to a classic car. There are tens thousands of '60s American muscle cars in Texas right now that couldn't even come close to passing current safety specs, yet they're perfectly legal to drive. Of course, if the car is subject to inspection it'll have to pass in order for you to maintain a current title and registration. Check with the authorities to see what that inspection will entail, for the particular car you're talking about.
You are right - for a car that is already registered and titled in TX. The problem for him, however, is the importation issue. There is a strong likelihood that it will be held up at customs for a multitude of reasons. Depending on the mood of the worker that day, he may never see the car again - importation requirements in this country are horrific.
