If any of you have been on Ebay lately, you've likely run across this '85
GL: *
http://tinyurl.com/9hxadf*

VIN: WV2YB0258FH048704

Not that I'm necessarily in the market for a new Vanagon, but I always keep
my ear to the ground for a good deal.

First off, does this belong to anyone on the list?
Second, has anyone on the list bid on it?

Curious about a few things:
1) Mileage: 500 Miles?    Nahhhh ! ! ! !
   -Red flag?
2) Current high bid is $4,050 with less than 8 hours left?
   -Electronics alone are more, and the interior is brand new and VERY
custom.
3) Clicking on the history report tab shows the following for the
Year/Make/Model:
*1**985 Volkswagen Vanagon GL / L*   -I've never heard of the "GL / L"
model. Is this an "L" that's been upgraded and being passed-off as a "GL"?

If anyone's got Carfax, morbid curiosity has gotten the best of me.
I have to know if there's something bad that's being blatantly left out of
the description.
