This vehicle is two blocks from my home. If someone is
serious I could take a look.

It is at a local repair joint last resort, kind of a
Hotel California for beaters. Many vehicles sit for
forever and twice a year or so the owner of the shop
clears the place out, presumably sending them off to a
junkyard. He drove a Vanagon for many years, so he has
some familiarity with them.

(He certainly is not a traditionalist, years ago he
had a splittie Westfalia which had extensive front end
damage, and he cut off the front and grafted in a clip
from a breadloaf!)

The double cab is behind a chain link fence, locked
during non-business hours. Looking through the fence,
its rough and ex-military of course. From the looks of
it I'd say its current price, about $1500, is about
right.

As others have said, the listing itself is a little
worrisome. I wondered about titling when I saw that it
carried no plates- but he drive it for a year as it
says in the ebay listing? No ebay history, and do not
use email to contact him?

Feel free to forward this to the diesel yahoo groups.

Tom F.
