  I dunno..I watched an unrusty (he said)  motorless van sit in my area's
(out near Maupin, Or.) newspaper classified for 3 weeks with the guy asking
$700..No takers.  When I finally got out there to look, it had gone to the
crusher, unsold except whatever the guy got per pound.  I know from my
wide-ranging bike rides around the Gorge of a couple of vanagons sitting out
in various blackberry patches and barnyards...unloved and probably not worth
much not running..

  Yes, the parts are worth something, but enough to spend the time to strip
it and sell em off?  I got my van in GL form for $3k and didn't have to deal
with a WBX motor, blown up or missing...Just drove it away..
