Hi folks,

I have a friend who is selling his 1986 Vanagon GL. Please direct ALL inquiries directly to him at camden74@hotmail.com. The vehicle is located currently in Houston, Texas. Buyer must come get the vehicle. Asking price is $3800.

You can see very detailed pictures of the van at THIS URL:

Here's the description of the van:

1986 VW Vanagon GL 157k miles Exterior: Silver/Blue metallic paint w/Grey accents Interior: Dark blue/silver accents Original-style "VW" Vanagon hubcaps/steel wheels (14")2.1 Liter fuel-injected four-cylinder engine Power steering, Power mirrors, Power brakes, tachometer, AM/FM/CD "Blaupunkt" in-dash CD player w/removeable faceplate. Custom-made black-material dash cover (*NO* cracks in dash!!!) Aftermarket between-seat storage bin/cup holder/organizer(inbetween two front seats), in matching color/accents. Original blue/grey seats (two front buckets, 2 person middlebench; removeable, rear 3-person fold-down bench). Rear seat folds to make bed/storage area. Front/rear heating, all air vents functional, factory a/cequipped (needs new a/c clutch & compressor - was working when unit clutch/compressor froze). Engine does NOT blow anysmoke nor leak any oil. I am the 3rd owner. Originally from New Mexico (owner owned car for approx. 8 years). 2nd owner here in Houston, Texas has owned for last 6 years.Both owners used correct 20W50 engine oil. Last ownerhas had brake job performed (brake lines flushed, newpads as necessary). Tires in good shape (1 will needreplacing in approx. 12K miles). All levers, knobs, switches, electric fans, brakes, air vents/ventilationsystems, radio works (except A/C). Front steering rackwas replaced by previous owner (as was alternator).I have checked all brakes, all fluids, have performednecessary oil changes & have changed oil sending unit.Accidents? One minor "fender-bender" on right-rearquarter panel. This (previous owner) has been repairedand repainted - I can not tell damage has been done.What work would need to be done to it? 1) a/c repairand/or replacement (if you want that), 2) tint the windows to cool it off? 3) new tires? 4) repaint thetop (one portion of the roof near the left reartire is fading/clearcoat). Because of the extensivemaintenance the previous VW-lovers/owners have performed,including myself, the van drives VERY well - straightdown the road and handles beautifully. The suspensionis strong, and rides very well. Because of the abovestatistics on this van, I have taken it to three differentVW events in the Houston area and have entered it in theshows because of how clean, straight & well-running this VW is.
