Subject:Looking for diesel westy!

Folks,

Looks like Christa and I have finally sold our &%#&@$! Trooper.  The whole
gang really, really wants to get another busless--we've been busless for
far too long now, and it's killing us.

Much as we loved our '76 westies, with our Canadian climate and the kids
and all, we've decided on water-cooled.  Diesel, actually.  Ideally a 82ish
diesel with a stock diesel motor, but vanagon gas-to-diesel conversions
would be considered too.

Specifications:
===============
Vanagon Westfalia
     - must be Westfalia, not other conversion company
     - must be pop-top
Diesel power plant
Not looking for a project
No / low rust
solid mechanicals
all the camper stuff should work / be easily fixable
I'll go anywhere in North America for the right bus, but would prefer PNW,
CA, NV, AZ, NM.

If you have a bus to sell to a good home, or know someone who does, let's talk.

Thanks for the bandwidth!

T.
(hopefully soon a happy camper!)
