I have 2 questions for the Vanagon crowd...
1 - Mind if I join your ranks?
2 - Think the auction I just one was worth it?

Hopefully I will pick it up later tonight or tomorrow...
I'm gonna have to sell something off soon or the wife will kill me....

Body looks nice if that is the original paint job. It'll be more of a pain to put a suby in it when the engine goes since it's aircooled.   |

Pain - schmain...it should be fun... 
Thanks all...I have a pop-up camper right now that we have been using for the last couple of summers but always wanted a late 70's fat chick or a vanagon with the newer interior. I now need to get rid of the pop-up and then probly the exploder I used to tow it...
Can I put a hitch on it and tow a couple of dirt bikes with it? Looking at less than a 1200 lbs tow...

Thanks for the info...
Picked it up...It runs pretty dang good with a little oil leak. It's not as good as I had hoped, but it is in good shape. It was repainted not long ago and has a couple drip spots and was not very carefully taped off but not horrible looking.
I think it's going to make a great family get away camper...
