For anyone interested, the '91 Vanagon with the bad engine listed in the
Washington Post Classifieds this weekend is the same one I went to see a few
weeks ago.  This is the guy who claimed to have been scouring the countryside
looking for Vanagons to ship to South Africa.  He said this is the last one he
has and is not looking for them anymore since they are too hard to find these
days.  By the way this '91 Vanagon is trashed - has a bad paint job (probably
covering up rust and who knows what else) and is filthy inside.  The engine
still runs but oil blows up through a hole in the top of the case where a rod
once peeped through.  He wants $3000.  I would have to think hard before I
paid him $300.
