Subject: 90 Westy as stocking stuffer(FOR SALE-NY $9300)

Folks, just got the contract for buying a house, so this one has to go....
This is how I just advertised in a few places:
1990 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper GL. Maroon. Poptop, sink, stove, fridge.
Auto tranny, strong engine-no leaks. Power locks, windows, mirrors &
steering. Alloys. California car. 129k miles.
Asking $9300.- New York. email; merrag@aol.com
Here’s the scoop;
I bought this Westy this past summer with some problems, like a bad engine
(it was a GEX rebuild [bad, very bad] with only 25k miles on it when it
melted a valve-anyone want the remains?), one bad CV joint, busted skylight,
fridge was not working, and a couple dents/scrapes.
I replaced the engine with a spare I had (new head gaskets/JB welded) the
engine has about 100k. Runs like a top. All exhaust intact, new BusDepot
stainless body muffler and all new stainless hardware (about 35 bucks worth
of nuts and bolts!). CV joint was replaced with new (rebuilt) axle. Auto
tranny shifts/operates perfectly. Skylight replaced with Skylight guy single
layer unit, flex arm, etc bought new from EuroAmerican RV. Fixed fridge-pump
did not pump, lights quick & easy now, works in all modes. Stove and
sink/pump work. Body is great (California car, has been on the east coast for
~two years), no rusty seams, but has some dents and scrapes that I did not
fix. Interior is in excellent condition, have all curtains/screens. VW AM/FM
cassette.
What it needs:
Previous owner tapped the drivers side front above the headlight and on the
front fiberglass bumper (have another, different color). Also lightly scraped
the rear drivers side wheel well and back fiberglass side piece. The
passengers side looks like someone “key” scraped it. A local body place
estimated $1000.00 for all body work.
Windshield has 3 good rock dings. Missing front table. AC does not work-belt
is off the pump, have not tried to troubleshoot. Has cruise control, but also
no-go. Maroon Poptop has a slight crack by the skylight-what the #*%% did DPO
do? Canvas has been patched, but is serviceable.
So if someone wants a very nice late model Westy at a good price, and willing
to finish the work on it, I will let any Lister have it for $8600.00. I am in
the process of scanning some photos, if you want me to send you some pics.
Let me know if you have a stocking big enough.... (merrag@aol.com)
