Folks, 

Many have been to this point. I don't need the van anymore. I can no
longer justify the insurance it takes to keep this beast on the road.
I have a standing offer from the State of California's Bay Area Air
Resource Board for $650.00 for the van.  I feel obligated to offer it
to the list for this price as maybe someone with a rusted out midwest 
van would like this California based van for it's body.  I love
driving it but it is now time to part ways.

Here's the scoop:
It has a strong running 1.9 in it It will cruise all day at 72 MPH on
the freeway.
The Speedo reads 10% high.
Needs a good cleaning. Yellow/tan over dark brown.  
I know it leaks a small amount of water .  Internal or a hose, I don't know.
It has one spot of rust next to the drivers side middle window. That's it.
Gas tank needs tubing done. Radio doesn't work, needs antenna.
Brakes haven't been done in 6 years. They still stop the bus just fine.
Tires,  Michilins up  front, rather small for my taste but work just
fine. Michilin MXLs on the back. Still have plenty of rubber.
Transmission works just fine. 
Doesn't burn oil.
No thermostat ever installed. Still passes SMOG but will need a cat soon.

Comes with: Folding side Table, Back side cabinet (tan) with side
facing large door (as opposed to front facing door), overhead cabinet
(tan), comfortable brown chairs up front, that crappy tan cordoroy
seats in the back.

No dents in the body, bumpers are fair, no end caps. Glass is all
intact. Mirrors, well, they are Vanagon mirrors, enough said.

Deal must be done by August 1st.
