The Vanagons, as the other reply said, come to the Pacific Northwest. You can't drive more than a few miles without seeing one in the Puget Sound, and only less so in the rural areas. Dealers still stock parts for them and can get any other part you need, and some local performance shops have a long customer list, along with upgrade kits and parts. On another note, we even have quite a few 1960's ones running. I was saddened when a 1960's pickup was taken to the Northeast by the kids of an elderly gentlemen who lives in north Tacoma. He said if he ever sold it, he had a waiting list of at least a dozen folks willing to buy it, including myself, but his family wanted it. I ony resubscribed after a hiatus for other things. I own a 1991 Synchro (bought new). The list will be interesting and useful. Oh,and I live in beautiful, quaint Gig Harbor, WA. --Scott-- Scott M.
