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.

HA! i drove a Trabi in Berlin once and nearly pissed myself laughing. They are very kitch but I personally would never purchase one. They do last if you take care of them, but it's a whole new world with a 2-cycle gasoline (lawnmower) motor in there.
I suppose if I were to get one though it would HAVE to be the wagon model.
