Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water...

Always heard that there were no 5-speed vanagons, except one year
a few diesels had them. You'd think the guy would have said "diesel"
if this was one.

Was what I heard wrong? Or, must this be one of those rare diesel 5-speeds?
Maybe even a diesel 5-speed that's been converted to gas?

Opinions, anyone?

                              '80 V6anagon, REALLY needs an overdrive gear

P.S. I just broke down and called the seller, even tho I'm not in buying
mode. It is a diesel 5-speed. So... <never mind!>
