i lived in missoula for a while and thats where my current 84 vanagon came
from.  i bought it out of mountain imports lot with a bad engine.  if you
go to the local bone yards you will see that vanagons are very popular
there because there are little or no parts in the yards :(.  i went to my
favorite yard there last year when i was traveling through.  there was
only a couple of vanagons and they were completely stripped.  missoula
only had 40,000 people when i lived there, must be all those people from
california moving in ;).  maybe they are bringing their syncro westys with
them.
