You'll be pleased to know someone took your advice.� There's a Samba thread from a NoVa Westy looker asking for advice and suggestions and one of the vans he mentioned was the brown aircooled you were howling about.� I posted about this one as a van he might be better off considering and he later posted that he'd bought it.� Everyone's congratulating him on the good find and he sounds happy and excited.� 

Just knowing he's out there should have you basking in an avuncular glow.� Good call.

I'd be more inclined to buy this one, kind of hard to tell, but it appears the seller would take less than $8,000.00 Don't know if I'd consider a clutch "routine maintenance" though!!
