I see clean and rust free Vanagon bodies in the SoCal junkyards all the
time. Makes me wonder sometimes as I know there are people elsewhere who
would want them, whatever the mechanical problems might be.

Some Westys can be found too, but rarely a 2.1 model. I have picked
parts from many an air-cooled and a few 1.9 wbx Westys too.
