I met Kevin right before I bought my Westy. they really do tear the
Vanagons apart and restore them.  At the time he had a 90 stick shift
with 60,000 original miles on it. He gave me a lot of information and
let me take the Westy for a drive, but that only reminded me how much
I dislike driving manual transmission vehicles.  He was asking $25,000
for it.

The next day I got my 90 Westy automatic in mint condition for a
private party  for a fraction of what he was asking.

Westy Enterprises is only about 2 miles from where I live.
