A tipoff  for members of this mailing list:
I was checking out junkyards looking for parts for my 86 waterboxer and
found a pretty nice 80 vanagon for $300.  the vehicle is complete.  body
looked not bad, not much rust.  the guy said it ran but needed a battery.
someone with the motivation could get this vehicle for $200 and turn it
into a real nice ride for much less than you could buy a good used one.
The van is in Cape Cod Massachusettes.  Email me for specific info on how
to get there, phone #, etc.
