This vehicle is two blocks from my home. If someone is
serious I could take a look.

It is at a local repair joint last resort, kind of a
Hotel California for beaters. Many vehicles sit for
forever and twice a year or so the owner of the shop
clears the place out, presumably sending them off to a
junkyard. He drove a Vanagon for many years, so he has
some familiarity with them.

(He certainly is not a traditionalist, years ago he
had a splittie Westfalia which had extensive front end
damage, and he cut off the front and grafted in a clip
from a breadloaf!)

The double cab is behind a chain link fence, locked
during non-business hours. Looking through the fence,
its rough and ex-military of course. From the looks of
it I'd say its current price, about $1500, is about
right.

As others have said, the listing itself is a little
worrisome. I wondered about titling when I saw that it
carried no plates- but he drive it for a year as it
says in the ebay listing? No ebay history, and do not
use email to contact him?


Feel free to forward this to the diesel yahoo groups.
