Aaron, Send him an email and ask about Federal EPA and DOT certification. Remember, the Federal government owns the highways, not the individual states. In order for a vehicle to be legal for use on US highways it MUST have DOT and EPA certification (local registration means absolutely nothing).

item # 4561126291 - i have NO affiliation. the seller states that this van was legally imported: "Again This Vehicle Comes with a Clean Title, NOT A SALVAGED Title, NOT A KIT CAR Title & NOT A REPLICA Title, like so many other JDM vehicles out there. This Vehicle Was Not Dismantled and reassembled to get around registration, this vehicle was registered by the book!" any guesses as to how he accomplished this? i can think of a few 4wd vans i'd like to import. aaron '87 syncro gl |
