does. I did find an anti-freeze leak on the water pump and one of the
hoses. I don't anything about Vanagons, only that the engines had a very
bad reputations, but for $1,500 asking price,  I'm very tempted. What do
you guys think? Suggestions, ideas, comments welcome.

Victor, try to ask that question over in the vanagon group
<vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com> and you will get probably more answers/opinions
and help on the vanagon. I don't have personal experience with watercooled
ones besides what I read (good and bad). I love my aircooled engine.
