I really like my 90 Westy, although I haven't tried out any of the electrical or propane camping stuff, yet. In the back of my mind, I would really like to have a 70's Vanagon, or a weekender bus or camper - I don't exactly know what I want...but the MAIN thing that I would HAVE to have would be an automatic transmission. Although I am able to drive a manual, I hate doing so. I live in Los Angeles, and the last time I tried driving a manual Westy (about 6 months ago) I felt like I was trying to dance with both legs and arms flailing about! So I am wondering if there is such a thing as an older vanagon with an AT. I don't care about AC or power windows in an older VW, although I wouldn't have a 90 Westy without these features. I would use the 90 for daily driving and camping (eventually) and the older one for transporting more people than my 90 Westy can handle, and light hauling. Is there such a thing as a 70's automatic Vanagon? I haven't seen one advertised in about a year of looking at bus ads. Patti 90 Westy automatic April 14, 2007 |
