I bought the 86 Vanagon about a month ago. It had a bad clutch and a number of small problems. I installed a new clutch, t.o. bearing and pressure plate. The van runs and drives fine. It has 5 new tires and is rust free as it lived in Florida until 2004. The paint is decent Gold color. It only has 84k miles on the odometer. All the glass is good. The downside is the interior. The Florida sun did its damage to the dash padding. The center seats and carpeting are gone. The rear seat and cargo area carpet are OK. The overhead ductwork that goes down the center for the AC is not installed and the AC is all there but does not work. The inner door panel on the slider is missing. The van can be driven as is or restored with a bit of work on the interior. Or convert to a camper.

I'd like to get $1500 for it - open to offers. Thanks for your time, Bob |
