>> 1984 VW Vanagon used on the T.V. Magnum P.I. from the 
years 1984-1988.  Van is in good condition.  The engine runs 
great.  Had engine replaced in 1999.  I have the receipts of 
all work.  The only problem that I have with it now is that 
It does not have 1st and 2nd gear.  Don't know what the 
problem is I drove it to work and things were fine, left 
work to go home and at first traffic light the 1st and 2nd 
gears stopped working.  So I put her in the garage and that 
is where the van has been since Aug of 2000.  Would be a 
great collector car for someone who loved Magnum P.I.  The 
van is located in Atlanta GA at this time.  I have since 
moved back to Hawaii in Aug 2002.  Was going to just keep 
her in storage but would like to see someone take care of 
her better than I can at this time.  Any question please 
email me.  I will try and fill in all the details about his 
van..
