There are quite a few of these for sale used on the internet use this link (make sure you get the whole):

You may have had trouble finding it because you typed "volkswagOn" instead of "volkswagEn". Here is a quote from the book I found on another site, it actually sums up the Vanagon list quite well I think:

Volkswagen buyers are a special group. When you buy a Volkswagen, you don't just get a car; you also acquire a lot of friends - other Volkswagen owners. The Volkswagen is a way of life. More than that, it is a declaration of a certain attitude toward life and society. The Volkswagen owner is saying that he is concerned about economics, air pollution, and good craftsmanship. Volkswagen owners include students, professional people, and executives as well as a large number of older retired persons who appreciate economy and ease of handling. Creativity marks the Volkswagen owners. They usually take an intellectual and rational view of life. They are individualists. A Volswagen owner is almost fiercely loyal to his "bug" and does not harbor secret wishes to own a Cadillac, a Thunderbird, or a Continental. (1972)

Thanks, Chris
