You can have my Westy with a 65K speedometer, a 165K speedometer  a 212K
speedometer and car fax will still tell you the vehicle doesn't exist. It
actually has over 350K on it, The price is the same
Vanagon bodies are not like air frames

it is the restorations. Zero rust is what you're looking for.
