Stephen - you're right on.  Try everyone you see!

A good friend landed a decent running and now daily driver 80 westy for only
$100!  it had been parked by a neighbor's house for around 5 years and we
finally just went up to the door and asked.  he was happy to see it go to a
good home!

That also reminds me that there's a bay window westy (if I recall correctly)
running around the seattle area with a sign saying something like, "No, this
van is not for sale.  Thank you."
