There's one for sale in the new issue of Excellence. There has been at least
one Porsche-Vanagon in their classifieds for the last three months. This
one's a plain-jane (steel wheels and moon hubcaps, even) 1984 with a 911
motor and tranny... About 10,000 in Las Vegas.

Not mine, but it looks cool.
