Where did I find the '86 Camper GL for 600$?

Well I'll tell you!  I wasn't even looking for it..... it was just word of
mouth.  You see, I've got an old '73 that I currently use during the warm
seasons, so when word got out that someone wanted to sell the Vanagon, an
e-mail with pics of the vehicle quickly got to me within a hop, skip and a
jump.

I drove out to see the vehicle right away, and the body and camping
equipment was mint.  Once the vehicle started up and drove around the
block, I knew I'd found a gem!!  (coincidentally I've been looking for a
vehicle for my wife, so she can carry antique furniture to and from her
workshop).

Anyways, the previous owner had inherited the vehicle.... and I'm not sure
he realized the full worth, despite the 5000$ asking price.  There was a
snow storm that day, and nobody was in the mood to shop for a camping
vehicle.  I suppose I was in the right place at the right time!  We talked
it over a bit, and I made an offer, in cash for 600$.... and the PO
accepted!

So to sum it up, it's all about being in the right place at the right
time.... and a little good karma probably helps too!  Oh yes, and it came
equipped with 5 winter tires, and an awesome matching champagne coloured
trailer that can be hauled behind the vehicle, and even a CB Radio, TV and
wiring for a Satellite Dish!!
