I found two in junkyards in the last year or so, and one of those used to live in my neighborhood.� Engine fire, sadly, and before finding it I just figured the guy had moved.� I know of several more still on the road but I'm still surprised when I see one driving around that I don't already know about.� That is always a pleasant discovery.� There's even grey Westy like mine driven by a guy named Steve in town and I ran into him buying parts a few weeks back. 

Still several bays in town and I even saw a nice split last weekend.

ive been hitting up all the major junkyards in southeast PA recently
looking for parts for my tow vehicle (ford van) and have not seen ONE vanagon in
the junkyards...� theyre literally all gone..� � i dont see� any on the
roads either......���maybe the story is different on the� west coast but on the
east coast.. they are pretty much nonexistant� anymore...

years back i used to find at least one during a junkyard run...but no
more...
