Scott,
Thanks for the offer but I have a decent '87 Westy right now and, sadly, no room for any other vehicle. We have offstreet parking for two and have two vans, a sedan and a motorcycle. Realistically, more Vanagons (or any other concurrent vehicles) must remain a dream.
The place in Pulaski really does look like that. I had heard reports and seen photos of the place, so made a trip (about 3.5 hours away) in the fall and was greatly impressed with the quantity and the color arrangement.
Stephen

you might not be local to me, but I have two sunroof diesel vans for sale.
both are diesel. ( or I'll convert them to waterboxer if you like or do a
Subaru engine conversion for anyone that's up for that , or inline four
gasoline VW engine - whatever you prefer. )
one is a 'near perfect' almost ding free ( like two tiny dings ) 82 Sunroof
diesel Vanagon.
the other is a 5 speed sunroof diesel vanagon.
The 82 has been stored indoors for two years, in a dry climate, and can
clean up to near showroom condition. Miles on it are 124K I think. It's
totally rust free.
the 5 speed 83, doesn't have any seam rust or anything serious like that.
Has a not too bad dent in the rear hatch, which I am in the process of
removing, or at least reducing significantly.
my collection sure isn't as large as the picture of Vanagon Heaven though.
but.....all those identical looking vanagons, sorted by color ?
that's not a photo-shopped picture ?
and how odd that there are hardly any westy tops showing anywhere.
