I needed a new motor for my 85' Vanagon......well  I found it in a 94'
SVX........117k on the motor.....the car had hit a curb and bent the left
lower control arm and the left rim was tweeked .......After seeing the car
with a perfect suede interior., ABS, cruise, 4 wheel disc brakes and 153 mph
top speed and the uniqueness of the car.....I decided to keep  her in
tact.......unfortunately the same week my friend decided to let go his 98
white T100 4WD pickup w/ snugtop shell.....real clean!,,,,,,,I promised him
I would buy it and followed through.....so now I have TWO cars more than I
did last week.......Boy was the wife upset about this one!

Malibu Tony   85' Westy   1.9L still limping at 70 mph
                    78' 911 SC Targa 3.0L csi
                    97' Montero Sport
