I've got a 1972 VW Transporter in very good shape and I'd be interested in a trade. The motor is a 2.0 Liter that came from a porsche 914, it's essentially the same as a type 4 Volkswagen motor but the piston heads are concave so they provide a bit higher compression. I'm told by the previous owner that it was rebuilt 200 miles before I got it and then parked for 9 years. I bought it in Atlanta and drove it to New Jersey, then to Austin via Atlanta. It's obviously running very well and it's my daily driver....very solid bus. I have more pix if you'd like to see them send me a message. I have had it since June of this year.
Do your research and you'll find that the following parts & work well exceed what I'm asking.
New Vanco tires commercial rated D tires
New front end (including tie rods, drag link, steering damper, & torsion arms w/ball joints)
New spark plugs
Foam Engine Compartment Seal
Front end aligned 3000 miles ago
New front sway bar upgraded to 7/8" from 1/2" w/new bushings & clamps
New shocks
New battery
Upgraded ignition to electronic
Vacuum Advance distributor
New weber carb on it when I got it, I changed the intake boots &
cleaned the carb
Paint job (not perfect, but it looks nice and a buff job is all it
needs to finish it up)
Rust inhibitor and bedliner on interior floor
CHT gauge
Rotary fuel pump
New Muffler
All rubber fuel lines have been replaced
Master cylinder & New Brake Fluid
Oil Changed every 1000 miles to keep it fresh
Changed the tranny gear oil
New CV Boots
New Windshield & Seal
New seals for all windows except driver door
New passenger door seal
Roof Rack
