Currently beetles are being imported legally into the us from Mexico.  This
is done by using a US's beetles pan and vin #.  They rebuild the pan and put
new body, interior, and engine on it.  So when you get your brand new beetle
it is actually title as a 72 or whatever pan you use.
     I imagine this could be done with a van as well????   A little more
work.  Or find someone who will switch all vin #'s.
