Subject:      Notice - Very Nice Low Mileage  2.1L  Engine & Tranny on eBay
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Volks,

John Ranney, Vanagon Rescue Squad Member, Vanagon owner and Shop owner of
European Auto Tech in Tucson, AZ has a couple of things for sale on eBay
that might be of interest.

John just pulled his orginal 2.1L Waterboxer engine & auto tranny to
prepared for a Subie 3.3 install.

I'm very familiar with this Van and had the pleasure borrowing it for a week
while the Roadhaus was in for repair. 

Felt honored as John doesn't lend his baby to anyone, so I was a nervious
wreck and couldn't wait to get it back to him.

This is a low milage, strong Van and in almost showroom condition.  

The engine and Tranny are incrediblyl strong and quiet with 77,418 original
miles and the engine had head gaskets done ~3000 miles ago.

If someone is looking for a strong engine or auto tranny, these are worth
checking out.

Maybe even more important, after many more miles of use, you would have a
really sold well maintained core that would make a great rebuild candidate.


Good cores are getting hard to come by.

Here's some of his current auctions,
