I really like my 90 Westy, although I haven't tried out any of the
electrical or propane camping stuff, yet.  In the back of my mind, I would
really like to have a 70's Vanagon, or a weekender bus or camper - I don't
exactly know what I want...but the MAIN thing that I would HAVE to have
would be an automatic transmission.  Although I am able to drive a manual, I
hate doing so.  I live in Los Angeles, and the last time I tried driving a
manual Westy (about 6 months ago) I felt like I was trying to dance with
both legs and arms flailing about!  So I am wondering if there is such a
thing as an older vanagon with an AT.  I don't care about AC or power
windows in an older VW, although I wouldn't have a 90 Westy without these
features.  I would use the 90 for daily driving and camping (eventually) and
the older one for transporting more people than my 90 Westy can handle, and
light hauling.  Is there such a thing as a 70's automatic Vanagon? I haven't
seen one advertised in about a year of looking at bus ads.
