is it possible to import say a 1997 ford falcon from aus to nz under the 20 year old or over rule ?

Yep it sure is. But it still has to meet compliance standards. Its not the same as newer stuff but "close enough" -The biggies are corrosion and previous accident repairs.

Unless it happens to be a very rare variant like an EL GT or a factory V8 XH which isnt easily obtainable here, I wouldn't bother.

People do it all the time from the UK. I assume Aussie is similar. Remember to budget for 5% duty, 15% GST on top of obvious fright charges. Also it needs to be extremely clean or MAF will charge you for bio security related cleaning.
Perhaps get an agent to handle the process for you?
Edit - Make sure it is under 3500kg GVM if you are looking at bigger ones.

Know of 3 vehicles that were imported to nz and none of them were able to be registered on the roads here . Did not comply with the rules in force at the time .

The rules around 'trailers' are not as complex as they are for cars. Still have the duty/associated charges/GST to pay tho' and it needs to pass MPI inspection re cleanliness from potential unwanted hitchikers.
