Does anybody know if a Diesel Eurovan can clear customs in the US? If so what years? OR are there any specialty shops in the West (particularly Seattle Portland that specialize in Westy or Eurovan conversion TO Diesel with the TDI? Wanna do that Bio Diesel thing!!!!

From my experience Oregon is a more relaxed state than others when it comes to importing Canadian vehicles. I sold a gentleman a doka that lived there a few years back and he had little trouble getting it registered.

I have a '96 EV diesel passenger van for sale. Extremely rare, even here in my country where they were sold new. Mechanically very well maintained with loads of recent parts, paint presentable but could use some work to be considered mint.

I think one would have a difficult time finding a comparable gas EV in the same year for the same $$, let alone converting it to a diesel. The drivelines alone usually go for $3000 US+, then add the labour for install to that.

Here's the link to my ad:
