As far as I know it will have to go through IVA if it has never been registered before, no matter how old it is.
I've not heard of a cut off date before based on the age of the kit (how do you prove this anyway?) - are you getting this info from somewhere in particular?
Also, as per another thread on here, buying an old unfinished kit could mean you run into a few probs at DVLA time. Make sure you get as much history as possible relating to the build to show that it is amateur built (or make sure you document rebuilding it from scratch)
Cheers, John
