They sold one of those on EBay a few years ago.  I believe that there actually were several of them, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it were for real.  It'd be pretty cool to own one of those, yes?  Oh yeah, and the Ferrari too . . . :^)


Aloha,

> 1984 VW Vanagon used on the T.V. Magnum P.I. from the years 1984-1988.  Van is in good condition.  The engine runs great.  Had engine replaced in 1999.  I have the receipts of all work.  The only problem that I have with it now is that It does not have 1st and 2nd gear.  Don't know what the problem is I drove it to work and things were fine, left work to go home and at first traffic light the 1st and 2nd gears stopped working.  So I put her in the garage and that is where the van has been since Aug of 2000.  Would be a great collector car for someone who loved Magnum P.I.  The van is located in Atlanta GA at this time.  I have since moved back to Hawaii in Aug 2002.  Was going to just keep her in storage but would like to see someone take care of her better than I can at this time.  Any question please email me.  I will try and fill in all the details about his van..
