Hello fellow Listees,

I'm driving to Southern California to pick-up another Vanagon. It's an 85
automatic which runs but lacks power per the PO. I'm hoping it's something
simple like a clogged cat or something. According to the PO, it does not
smoke at all. Just won't drive up a hill. I figured that the worst it could
be would be a bad tranny or possibly even an engine or both (I hope not). It
was cheap enough and the color identical to one of my other vans that it
could also make an ideal donor if things get too expensive.

If any of you Southern California listees want me to say "Hi Y'all", let me
know. I'm leaving San Francisco on Wednesday and coming back Thursday. I'll
be in a place called Moreno Valley Wednesday night but have Vanagon business
in the LA area on both days.

Ben

PS:
If any San Francisco listees need something small over there, let me know as
well. I'm already driving down with a core motor for somebody then driving
back with a vanload of parts.
