That's me! I picked my van up earlier this summer off of craigslist. It runs well (rebuilt water-cooled with ~210,000 miles) but needs a decent bit of interior cosmetic help. Its my first.

Speaking of such, anyone on this list own the custom, teal-blue painted
Westy parked on Hampden Ave in Baltimore?

It is still fairly rare to see Vanagons in Baltimore. I think I've counted 6
distinct regular residents. Others I've seen passing through.

Here in Bend, Oregon we are blessed with so many Vanagons around us.   My
sightings would go something like this:

8:56am Downtown Bend, I was waiting, pointed east, at the Franklin light and
you we across from me in a blue GL pointed west.
8:56am Downtown Bend, I was waiting, pointed east, at the Franklin light and
you came through the intersection going south on Wall St in a brown Syncro
Westy.
8:56am Downtown Bend, I was waiting, pointed east, at the Franklin light and
you were two cars behind me in a silver Carat.

9:03am Downtown Bend, I was in a parking spot at near the coffee shop and
you went by on Bond St. in a tan Westy.
9:03am Downtown Bend, . . .
