Welcome!  Importing a car into Brazil is going to be ridiculously expensive regardless of age, and there will be serious questions of roadworthiness under Brazilian law when it gets here.


Your first discussion should be with an automobile transport service that has shipped cars to Brazil to get a clear understanding of the expenses and regulatory hurdles that you're going to meet and overcome to make your plan a reality.  If you decide that you want to bite the bullet, contact the nearest Brazilian Consulate to inquire about registering the car once it's here.  This is by no means a DIY project.  Best of luck to you.

I looked at bringing a car with us........a 1969 Corvette with a USD value of about 75,000........would I pay USD $150,000 to buy this car today in Brasil ?


No......so I sold it here. You can do it, but, it's just not worth it unless you are willing to pay for everything, and pay everyone, along the way.
