Okay, I don’t think I’m crazy and my wife let me buy it so
that should be proof I’m not crazy.
Below you’ll find the text of a draft I created over the weekend but
held off posting until I found out the seller’s asking price. I found that out on Monday and told her I’d buy
it. I never dreamed a '91 in decent shape would go for this price, so I’d have been crazy NOT to buy it. I got it fair and square in a move that has
never happened to me before. I’d already
emailed saying I’d buy it and she replied that she was putting it on CL, so
while waiting for lunch to roll around I was idly hitting the Refresh key in
the Cars+Trucks category when *BLINK* it appeared. I replied instantly and she phoned me within
a few minutes.
Brought it home last night. I’m sure you understand.
Stephen

Local '91 white Westy coming on market soon.
Not mine. Van
lives in the West End of Richmond VA. I've seen it around my work
neighborhood for a couple years and followed it once and spoke with the lady
who at the time lived in TN and was visiting her aged parents here. Turns
out she's married to a guy I grew up a half block from. Anyway, spotted
it at the Goodyear store on Friday and emailed to ask if it was hers (now
sports VA plates) and she reports they'll be selling it. All the details
I have so far below, except the Goodyear guy said it was in for a no-start
issue remedied by a new distributor. It's a 4-speed with A/C and she mentioned
during our conversation that they had had (at that time) recent head work or
engine replacement. Full camper with no apparent rust or dented panels,
decent but used interior, and good glass. PM me if interested and I will
forward to the owner.
Don't know asking
price yet. Need to see how it runs.
225,000-230,000. Will
check when we return home.
Good: 1991;
original owners; interior OK including tent top; not made anymore
Bad: 1991; not
made anymore
