Sad to see this day but a friend of mine is giving up on his
    Vanagons. He gave me the word today they are for Sale:

      No motor 
      Transmission needs repair (I have the parts)
      many parts in need of repair: blown AC line, ignition switch
      bad, Rear hatch struts dead, PS pump shot etc. 
      Body in good condition.
      WE drove it home 9 months ago.   

      1987 VAnagon GL: auto. AC  
      Very clean
      Interior almost perfect
      Body almost perfect
