Sitting opened up like that in the Louisiana humidity and rain, it's got to have some serious mold. Probably some bullet holes too, given the vandalized wind wings and taillights. But, the engine is there and it's an automatic.  Probably best to do an engine conversion rather than replace all the expensive Vanagon engine bits.
