The Northwest has lots of Vanagons as most are aware.  For perspective,
check the Portland, Or. Craig's listings for this weekend.  Two nice
(sounding) Syncros and a couple of inexpensive tin-tops..
   The asking prices hereabouts are certainly lower than what I hear
mentioned for Vanagons in other parts of the country.  We seem to have less
rust up this way, too.  I live near Hood River, if anyone would like a
cursorial second hand layman's inspection on that Gold Syncro...(wish I had
the spare cash).  I've also lusted after the Green Doka mentioned elsewhere
on the list...Don't know why...really...they are just kinda unique, I guess.
