If you get a Trabi, remember to always keep it indoors so the cardboard doesn't mildew!

But seriously, there are 25-year-old Trabis? I thought they decomposed after five or ten.

This is one of those great projects that "someone else" should do. I look forward to seeing your pictures. I don't think you'll have a problem with a 25+ year old car as long as you use a reputable importer known to your DMV people.

BTW, there's a nice 601 "de luxe" Trabi, a 1988 model, ex-VW Museum, in eBay-Deutschland now, 2500 Euros, see this link.
