Hey folks,

Heard back from the Insurance co. regarding the
fire. They are totaling the vehicle and offered
me $5112.00. Considering it was our only car and
that it has been a week already without
transportation, I am going to accept. I did
mention to her a few things and they will likely
adjust it up just a tad. We have decided to keep
the van (buy it back, I should say) and I was
wondering if anyone out there would be
interested in; the whole thing (for a parts van,
or to replace the engine and put back on the
road) or in parts. Please let me know as soon as
you can if you are interested. This is my last
day at this email address, so please use the
following until I get to my new job;
dubstar@enol.com

For general info: White '87 Vanagon GL with blue
interior. 90,000 miles (before fire). Brand new
Continental tires on all 4's. Original wheel
covers. The interior is intact, in excellent
shape, wet (but drying) There was no fire damage
to the vehicle past the fire wall, inside or out
(except passenger rear quarter panel is charred
a bit, not bubbled, just sooty) so, all of the
upholstery and carpet is intact. Everything
worked on the van; clock, tach, speedo, AC,
heat, defrost, everything. It does have power
mirrors and rear wiper, but I don't know if they
still work. Has captain chairs with adjustable
armrests. Exterior is straight, minus a soft
dent on both sides, on middle panels (minor) and
some seam rust (minor) on drivers side rear of
door. Some minor spots of rust (none bigger than
1/4". Grille is intact, and everything related
to it is perfect. I do have a great roof rack
that was made for the vanagon. I'll try to post
some picts of the van so you can see for
yourselves.

email me directly if you want more info.
