Hey Ronnie,
Good luck. I drove an '85 back from Chicago w/no title and no plates!
Well, actually the title was in the previous previous owner's name signed
over. An eBay nightmare.
The one thing I had wished I had done was to have changed to the correct
oil filter and oil before driving back. Mahle or Mann ONLY will prevent low
oil pressure. Down here, oil should be 20w50 most of the year. Up there, I
guess probably anything will work in the winter.
Also, make sure that the oil and water are kept up properly as you drive
down. Buy some black duck tape in case you blow a water hose.

I have gone over to the darkside........
I bought a 1987 Vanagon last night. I had bid on it on EBAY but lost.
When the winning bidder didn't pay up the seller contacted me. We
finalized the deal last night.
I'm flying to Manchester, NH on November 20 and will be driving 1,927
miles back during the Thanksgiving holiday. I have a cousin in Boston
that I haven't seen in 20 years that I will be visiting, then off to Texas.
Northern European Automotive in Concord, NH is servicing the van and
putting some new tires on before I get there.
66,000 miles, savannah beige metallic, always parked inside, delivered
in Germany to a military couple, I'm buying it from the second owners who
have had it for the last 10 years.
I feel an adventure coming on.
Ronnie
