Subject:Van Swap?

Fellow Vanagon Lovers:

My '84 Westfalia, Dela, is looking for a new home.
The excuse?  The usual:  Not enough camping to justify keeping it.
The hoped-for replacement?  Something with at least six seat belts and a
Vanagon badge on it.

Dela has 1.5 years on a re-built engine, 1 year on Yokohama LT tires, 2 months
with a new exhaust (head to tail), and lots of tender loving care.  The camping
kit is in top-notch shape and I'd drive it to Tierra del Fuego if I could
budget the time!

The reality is that I have a job I can't leave, and a family of four which will
increase to five within the next couple of years.  The vehicle I would replace
it with is an '89 or younger, possibly even a Syncro.

I'm willing to consider vehicles in the Northeastern U.S. and _anywhere_ in
Ontario, Quebec, or the Maritimes.   If you think this might be something you'd
consider, or if you know of someone who might be interested, drop me a line
'personal mail' for more specific details about my Van.

Unable to lose the VW in my blood,
