hi,
It seems that I will be getting a company van and it is time to set a vehicle 
free from the flock.  here it is,
82 Vanagon diesel L 7 pass 4sp daily driver.  170k,   head gasket, timing 
belt and pump timed 13k ago. New glow plugs and one rebuilt injector last 
winter.   Brown and tan outside Tan velour seats from an 85 inside.  Runs and 
drives well, cruises happiest around 60mph and gets 30 MPG all around.  Has a 
very solid body with only minor age wear and rust in the usual spots and 
small accident damage in the passenger rear corner. 
As for problems, the blower doesn’t work, the aux diesel heater in the back 
has never done anything more than click the relay, the radio stinks and 
sometimes the starter requires a second key turn (has never NOT worked, 
though) and it has the general creaks of a vehicle with 170k.  Ive been using 
it as a run-around work van. (just lumber etc, nothing really filthy) 
 Currently registered, NYS inspected and useable as is or would have all 
necessary parts for an I-4 conversion.  
I want to get $1300 for it as it is worth close to that in hard to find 
conversion parts alone.
I am located in Nyack, NY approx 25 miles north of NYC and 2 miles from the 
Tappan Zee bridge.
