Folks-
     
     My local 99% VW wrecking yard is on the verge of selling the subject 
     vehicle - I don't have a price yet as the yard owner is out at the 
     auto auction today.
     
     At any rate, the car was originally a diesel.  The engine and tranny 
     have been replaced with an early waterboxer set.  The odometer repors 
     less than 90K miles and the body looks to be in average "southwest" 
     shape for the vintage.  Camper stuff is original, and I understand the 
     PO drove it in.
     
     When I get time, I'll drop by and take it for a drive and do some more 
     investigating.  The price should be more than reasonable based on my 
     past experience (bought a wreck-rebuild Golf 4 years ago).  The yard 
     is closed on the 4th and all weekend.  If you want to call, I'd 
     recommend you wait until Monday, it's 505-877-6782 (Albuquerque) and 
     talk to Ben (owner - not there today), David, or Rollie.
