Hi
Does anyone in Brazil (or anywhere) know where I can get a letter from VW of Brazil that the 1973 split window was built to US Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Vehicle standards (FMVSS). I have purchased and shipped one to California and, as can be anticipated, I am having a challenge getting it registered.

Thank you

It wasn't as it may not have seat belts, California emissions.

Good Read.

I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.

Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

A Brazilian bus will never pass California emissions.

You can get a Montana LLC and register it there or in a county that does not require a smog test.
