You may want to talk to Kubel Ken.  He knows a bit about bringing in VWs.

I know you will need a letter of compliance from VW that states the same
vehicle was available here in the US the same year. That may mean at the
least, you can only bring in the same year that the diesel was sold here. '82
- '85?

If these came from the factory with a different series VIN number, you may be
out of luck all together.

Are these things too tall for a shipping container?

I may be interested if the details are worked out.  I'll be in Germany in a
couple of weeks and could look them over.

US Customs has a web page on importing cars.  A search should find the
customs main page and lead you there.
