what a fine deal - an 87 for only 600 .......
with only 102K miles on the body.
if it's not rusted.........
the trans is worth almost that much.
someone should get this, perhaps put a westy poptop on it ......
engines are easy to get ..........someone could get Years out of this van.
I'm starting to consider 87 to be the first good year of the 86 to 91's.
the 'old style' AC in 86's is especially less desirable compared to what the
later ones have.
