thats Ron Maxon's euro spec '87 syncro transporter panel van.  its got a 
crappy green paintjob but it was originally all orange..  it even has the über 
cool cab divider with small porthole window. he's got some 15" audi alloys on it 
with big tires.   the "darkstar" reference refers to the greatful dead..   
he's also got a '66 microbus with a hippy paintjob, and used to own a '84 westy 
as well.
i think he used to be a V@L listmember years ago..  he puts on the LiMBO  
"Westies in the woods" campout at stokes state park in NJ every may.  
nice guy, cool panelvan, ive seen it in person.
