There are supposedly two Vanagons at two different pull-a-part
locations in Atlanta- unfortunately, both went on the lots about a
month ago when I wasn't paying attention.

  I ran over this afternoon to check the location closest to us, found
the advertsed Vanagon and, as a bonus stumbled on an "unannounced" Bay
Window.   Both Vanny & Bay were pretty well picked over, but I managed
to scarf a couple of decent looking wiper arms, one intact front
marker/turn signal lens, and some of that miscellaneous trim & stuff
that has a tendency to fall off.

  Geniuses these guys aint-, all T1-T3 models are listed as either
Vanagon or Vanogan in their database, and it's not uncommon for them
to occasionally sticker a 3rd generation Toyota HiAce as a VW.  That
one I'll never forget.  Hottest day of the year, and the van as far
from the parking lot as you could get.  Downhill.
