Saw an ad in the New Orleans paper for an 82 VW camper.  No price
listed, so I called and they were asking $600 !!  They said it had some
rust, but I figured that at that price, I could swap fridges if it
worked better than my 89's and keep the pop-top in my attic for a spare
and offer the rest to the list.  So I went and looked at it.  Well IMO,
it's not worth $600.  First, it's an aftermarket camper conversion.  It
had one hubcap which had a castle emblem in the middle, so I thought it
was a Wolfsburg, but the rear hatch said Vanagon L with no other special
markings.  A generic sunroof in the top (no pop-top) with cheapo roof
rack like on old station wagons, a pedestal galley with fridge, stove
and sink in the usual place but not as nice looking as the late Westies'
(fan in fridge door !?).  A full-width rear bed seat with no closets.
On the phone, I was told it was driven daily until 18 months ago when
the current owner bought it as a restoration project that never got off
the ground.
    When I drove up and saw it wasn't a Westy, I was disappointed.  I
took a quick look around at it and decided not even $50 - it wasn't
worth the trouble to tow.  Didn't examine all the rust, but it had
severe cancer at bottom of windshield.
    So anyway, that's my opinion.  I figured I would at least pass it on
if anyone else is interested.  It's in Slidell, LA which is at I-10
close to Mississippi border.

I don't want to post the number, since she didn't ask me to, but you can
see the ad at

It's not mine.  I just figured someone else might see something in it
that I don't.
