'nothing left here in the NW' ...
it does seem to be true that not many vanagons are in boneyards these days..
or with much in the way of parts on them.
The few that I do see get picked over right away.
and ....I have a location at the very bottom of the NW ..in Southern
Oregon ..
I happen to have a large stash of vanagons ( and I NEVER part any out
unless they are really, really 'gone' ) ..
and a pretty large stash of vanagon parts, and room for all this stuff..
as *long as someone keeps a neat looking operation* !!!
an opportunity existis for 'someone' ....
I might mention the climate is great, there are no traffic jams...
there's no sale tax, and LA, Seattle, and SF are easy drives from here.
Like 'what's not to like?!"
pmail with ideas and visions, if interested.
The future is ours, for those that are naturally 'visionary'.
I'm only interested in very high integrity , responsible people. Healthy
ones ..yeah ?
