Subject:      Re: Late Aircooled Engine Recommendations

The other option is to buy my '81 Vanagon which is FS in Phx. This bus is
totally rust free, straight as an arrow, runs great, excellent tires,
totally complete and nice. Down side? needs clutch soon. $139.00 in parts
plus labor to fix.
I can't give this thing away near the advertised $1981.00 (very) obo which
amazes me as I have seen total POS (non running) buses sell for much higher!
