Subject:      FS:  83.5 Westy in Tucson
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I have good friends here in Tucson who have decided to sell their 83.5
Westy.  They have purchased a big fifth wheel so the Westy no longer
fits their plans.  I have traveled and camped with them and always
thought this was a very nice example of the early water-cooled
Campmobile.  Here is a pic of it from a trip to Organ Pipe National
Monument a couple of years ago:

They have seen much of the western US and Canada in this vehicle -- when
he told me he was selling he
did it by email because he couldn't tell me to my face.

He will be advertising it locally for more and then go to eBay or Samba
with it, but says right now he "would take $6,000 for a quick easy deal".

Here, in his own words, [and some of my words] are the particulars:
