It is just a passenger van, with no engine. Too much work and cost to make it run again and pass smog. Better deals here all the time. I have seen nice vans at the San Diego junkyards many, many times. Full Westys, Wolfsburgs, Carats, name it. I'm sure Vanagon people from rust areas would cry when they saw perfect rust free bodies jacked up for vultures to pick at. When I see a fresh Vanagon set out I like to look it over real closely to see if I can figure out why it is there. Most times I see plenty of evidence of recent repairs and new parts that suggest an owner who cared enough to try and keep it going. Often times I find a simple wiring issue that caused the owner grief that shops could not solve. The same degraded wiring problems come up over and over. I have written about them here many times over the years. Why shops can't figure them out is beyond me.
