It is a kind of definite possible maybe.
Hopefully it is as good as can be expected for a 30 year old van
and still red-not faded to pink. Adventure in play and TBD.
(To be determined). Keeping the FUN meter pegged!!! |

Found my tornado red "Carat" lady & delivered today from "the original owner."
100K miles, no rust, all options, everything works, going to be a fun summer.
So ends the journey of seeking out new vanagons & going where no one has gone before-star trek lore!

I haven't given up on this...Every so often I take up the search again.
I will have one at some point, but good grief, are you serious? $5k for junk, $20k for a project?

This automatic is available locally and the price is dropping, but it has some window rust I would not want at that price.

Yeah, marked down from $25K and I think it was even higher a few months ago when I first found it. Nice enough van, but overpriced by a king grand.

The ad says 'original paint'. It might just be shadows / lighting, but the driver's side looks like 3 different shades of red (door, middle panel, and rear panel). The passenger's side has some similar issues.
I think it's way overpriced either way. |

Ha! A little too far and a little too pricey. I'm looking for a pristine van with a bad motor.
I have plans. 
Captain Pike's setup would work!

The reds are different in real life; shoddy repaint after bodywork, substrate fungus, atmospheric river, who knows? Another reason not to pay that ask. He's asking top dollar for a not-top-dollar van.
