Well, I did make some fuel and bathroom stops. Original headgaskets. Did the a similar trip in my 86 Syncro GL. Averaged 70-75 mph. Stopped only due to an exploded old tire. 75 mph is nothing to brag about. Collector value is already there somewhat. Are you folks not willing to pay more for a 91 and earlier Vanagon than you are a 1993 Eurovan? I know my 16" Syncro already has collector value now.
