Subject:"83 AC Vanagon parts van in West Michigan

Hello: I cruised the U-Wrench-It (on Chicago drive,
between Holland  and Zeeland in Michigan) yesterday
and spotted a blue Vanagon. These are not often seen
at our local Pick'N Pull emporia, so I was pretty
surprised.
This place is an auto theme park ( they charge a buck
admission, inspect your tool box for 'stuff', stamp
your hand). The van is intact except for drivers door,
front hubs, all exterior lighting. Engine and
driveline are intact, except for distributor, I think.
It actually has the engine tin in place!

I purchased the engine lid ( anyone need a metal
engine lid to replace that plastic hazard you are
riding with now?)
Anyone know the story about this van?

There are also some Subaru 2.2 L. cars-lots of 4 cyl
VW and high-end Audis.
 My rule of thumb for parts purchase: Buy it NOW-these
cars will be crushed soon. There is a metal recycler
down the road. All the scrap goes to China on a
freighter before ice-up, where it will become a Harbor
Freight gizmo next month. Little 'ol Holland Mich. is
an international seaport. George in Grand Rapids '87
