Oh that one is back up for sale already. IIRC, the guy built it to haul his track car.

That thing was a steal at that price.
No way I would sell anything today on BAT |

It sold for $48K on BaT on 12/7/21. The current seller bought it in July '23.
In '21 the van got 60 bids and 145 comments. This time around only 13 bids and 67 comments.
"A van is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it on a given day."

Hello - New to the forum and excited to be here. I just purchased this 1986 Diesel Type 2 from a seller on Cars and Bids. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3pGZw1XB/1986-volkswagen-type-2-transporter-diesel
Car was originally imported from Italy to VA where the seller got it titled in VA. I'm in California and looking for some guidance on registration and emissions (if applicable).
CA DMV states that the vehicle does not require smog inspection if the Diesel-powered vehicle is a 1997 and older year model. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-registration/smog-inspections/
However, since this was originally imported by the seller from Italy to VA I'm starting to have some concerns. Anyone have experience registering an imported type 2 in CA with a US title in hand?
My thought is that it should just be treated as a Title Transfer to get registered in CA. Any help is appreciated. |

This is not the right thread to discuss California registration of grey market cars.
Others will direct you to the appropriate thread.
My gut feeling is that you should find the right RI (Registered Importer) to get all your ducks in a row.
that said, it may be difficult or impossible. Diesel Vanagons only came in in 1982 and 1983 with full EPA and DOT paperwork.
I realize that the 25 year exception may let it into the 49 state USA, but CA MAY not recognize this.
Maybe just move to Virginia?
