About 110,000 miles on the engine and tranny. odometer stopped. body has about 240,000 miles on it. there is some superficial rust at the seams. undercarriage is very clean, and has been undercoated. the Vanagon was originally in Georgia, then Ohio, then NY. was only on the road last winter.

We mostly drove it from skaneateles to syracuse and a few trips to buffalo and the adirondecks. We have a duece and a half and while in the adirondecks found a really cool old boat. (the boat needs to be refinished) We would love to do a bunch more stuff with the vanagon but as you can see we have more projects then we have room for.
