Subject:85 GL in the junkyard in South Bend Indiana

I can't believe what people take to the junkyard.  This vanagon's body
is in really great shape for Northern Indiana.  Only rust I saw was
around one window.  They said the guy had too many projects so drove it
in.  It started right up but there is a leak in the radiator so there is
no antifreeze so I didn't run it to long. Doesn't look like the heads
are leaking.  Has just over 100,000 miles on it.  Other problems are
electrical.  I didn't get a chance to drive is since it was parked in.
There is a spare engine in the back of the van.  They're looking to get
around $1000 before they start parting it out/crushing it.  It's at the
Gertude Street U-Pull-It, 574-472-1277.  Please save this Vanagon. I
have pictures if you would to see them.

I'd save the van if I could but have no room for another vehicle.  I
have nothing to gain from this except the joy of seeing a good Vanagon
back on the road.
