I picked up a 1987 Vanagon GL at the auction last week.  I intended on
parting it out but after driving it home I'm having second thoughts.  This
van runs great!!  Even the A/C works!!  Here's a brief description: Silver
in color, automatic (shifts beautifully), gray velour seats with blue vinyl
trim (very nice condition), power mirrors/windows/locks (passenger window
doesn't work), no rust (that I've noticed), a few dings and a few scratches.

Now since this van came out of an auction it comes with a salvage
certificate which means that the new owner will need to get a brake & lamp
inspection and a smog certificate to register it in California.  Will this
van pass smog?  Well... the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor look like
they were last replaced when Reagan was president, therefore, I would
replace them and do a tune up prior to smog check.  Nine times out of ten
that'll do it.

Now the fun part: $1,000 AS-IS or I'll smog, safety and register it for
$1,500

Car's in Sacramento, CA (I finally remembered to put this in).

Cheers,

Jeff
