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.
