I wonder if it would be possible to use the sheet metal and misc parts from a
H20 cooled SA bus and convert a US bus using those parts and an engine from a
US H20 cooled VW? Everything emissions wise would be US spec and the safety
bits would still be under the regs of the original bus? Lot of work yes but
less than $30K.

Here is a link for info on importing a car.
http://www.foreignborn.com/visas_imm/entering_us/7importingyourcar.htm
Basically it says that most cars must be designed as a US import or most
likely it will not comply. If this is the case it needs to be brought into
compliance, exported or destroyed.
As far a plate changing, I would hope most agents at a border check point
would recognize a Mexican/Brazilian vehicle and not confuse them with a 30+ yr
old US vehicle.
I think it would be easier to have a foreign driver take it across with
foreign plates. I see Mexico plates all the time.

this could get me arrested but what if you brought license plates and
"plates" down there and picked one up that was in decent shape used put your
plate on it and your "plate" on it and just drive in like you "drove" out.
seems pretty easy...now it's just comming up with the bread. i already have
the plates...so what if it says it's a 69 we will all know that it really is a
'08.
how does the guy at eureka in the 98 mexi beetle drive his?
