If it was an '86 navy blue syncro with a gray/silver top, all this and a tv antenna on top, it's likely that it was the very one that I passed on in late 1998. For sale in the Seattle area it needed more work than I could throw money at it. However, the conversion was perhaps the best I've ever seen. The company operates out of CA, however word was that they no longer do Vanagons, only domestic van conversions...wish I could remember the name of the joint (anyone?).
