thats Ron Maxon's euro spec '87 syncro transporter panel van.  its got a 
crappy green paintjob but it was originally all orange..  it even has the �ber 
cool cab divider with small porthole window. he's got some 15" audi alloys on it 
with big tires.   the "darkstar" reference refers to the greatful dead..   
he's also got a '66 microbus with a hippy paintjob, and used to own a '84 westy 
as well.
i think he used to be a V@L listmember years ago..  he puts on the LiMBO  
"Westies in the woods" campout at stokes state park in NJ every may.  
nice guy, cool panelvan, ive seen it in person.
