1984 Vanagon GL.  Pics at http://y42.photos.yahoo.com/ctbtyper pretty much
tell the story.  145,000 miles, "Odo just stopped working right before I put
it away for the winter," heads redone a year or two ago, new AFM, short
shift kit (?, I've never driven another Vanagon, so I don't know how short
my shift is), two extra steel wheels with studded snow tires on them, PO had
just put a new stereo with CD player in it, van has the factory rear
speakers hanging from the roof, gas tank has the overflow problem (still
need to fix that).  Nearly zero rust, interior faded but solid, every here
and there I find evidence of some work done on the van, but overall I think
it is solid.  No rust on the underside.  I bought it in Ohio in April for
US$2650.  I've put in a new multifunction switch ($13 on Ebay), new
headlights ($26, I think), and that's it as far as cost items go.  I fixed
the odo, fixed the rear wiper, and have done various other things to make it
my own, etc.
