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?).
