Subject: Save this Vanagon!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
I offered this van to the list last week. Quite a few people expressed
interest, and nearly all who did wanted more information. So... here's what
I know:
'84 Vanagon GL
98,000 Miles on Odometer
Super Clean! (needs cleaning)
I bought this van at one of the auctions and it's been sitting ever since.
It's in such nice condition that I just can't bring myself to part it. It
had a cracked "H" pipe that I bypassed with straight hoses earlier this week
so that I could test the engine/tranny. Other than running rough when cold,
this van seems to run pretty strong. I bled the cooling system and
everything seems fine there as well. I let it idle for about an hour and
the cooling fan cycled appropriately and the temp needle never exceeded 3/4.
The test drive was limited to my parking lot, but once again everything felt
solid. The tranny shifts smooth, the brakes work well, as does the
steering. All the electrics work as well. The interior is very nice and
the body is straight and rust free.
Title Info: The van comes with a bill of sale from the auction company I
bought it from. If registered in California, you will be required to get a
smog, and a brake & lamp inspection before the DMV will register the van as
a salvage title. Other states may vary.
The pictures below are of the van as I bought it (i.e., it hasn't been
cleaned for about a year).
It can be yours for the bargain price of $500.......
Yes, I could part this van out for a lot more than $500, but it just seems a
shame to destroy a perfectly good Vanagon. Unfortunately, I don't have the
time or need for another Vangaon project, do you???
