Let it be known that the 83 2.0L aircooled Vangon Westy was sold last week.
It was nabbed by a 78 & 80 year old couple who plan on driving it to Alaska
and back. All concerns that I expressed were met with a cheerful laidback
attitude. They say that they have done the trip several times. They
previously had owned an '82 and missed it. They know every slight fault of
the bus.
It was exceptionally clean, they were pleased and I thought it was an
excellent win/win deal =)

63 EZ Camper     <---Project/Ratmobile
67 Westfalia     <---Whatever
88 Buick Century <---with "Freeway Flyer" transmission and a 3.8L
watercooled conversion.

BTW: I thought it funny that an older couple bought the van and I bought the
4-door Buick from an older couple. These folks looked and acted like they
weren't a day over 65! =)
