Subject: Re: rare '89 wolfsburg vanagon on ebay (w/
diagonal striped
interior)
This vehicle looks to have had some front body
repaint. Notice in the
first photo how the color of the door and the area
just forward of
the door don't match.
Otherwise, looks to be pristine.

THIS IS WHAT THE SELLER SAYS
"This beautiful Vanagon GL Wolfsberg Edition Van has
NO damage history and NO sign of paintwork.
It shows NO signs of abuse, and a big plus, NO
evidence of any cigarette smoking.
95% of my inventory is titled in Texas; they are
ALWAYS free and clear of any liens and will NEVER show
salvage, theft recovery, AND NO FLOOD DAMAGE etc.
Service records either are available with the vehicle,
or can be obtained through the Volkswagen dealership
service department, by running a search on the VIN#.
For a general history on the vehicle, Carfax (an
online, vehicle history service) will run a complete
search on the vehicle using the VIN#."
AND THIS IS A SEARCH USING THE VIN
