For Sale-- 1986 Vanagon GL, 2.1 L , Manual Transmission.
"Bronze" Color (has been repainted with original color once over 12
years ago)
Beige Clothe Interior
If you are interested I have lots of pictures I took earlier today that
I can e-mail
The Good-
Very Cheap Selling Price!! (basically the first reasonable offer or the
best offer by end of August)
Interior, carpeting and seats very god condition (excellent for a
vehicle of this age)
Body has only a few small rust spots in the usual places along the seams
near bottom of body near back wheels.
No Dents, or accident damage (has never been involved in any type of
collision or fender bender)
All interior and exterior latches, knobs, handles (with exception of
window crank handle on driver's side) are in good working order
All gauges work except Odometer (Speedometer works fine)
Has Air Condition, but has not had a belt on condenser for over 10
years, Recently the over head duct has had typical breakage near screws.
Lots of very good parts- Good Transmission, Shift Linkage, Starter,
Radiator, etc.
Had been running strong and well until....
The Bad-
On it last trip (3 years ago) it lost power about a mile from home.
I limped it into driveway and was greeted by puddle of antifreeze and
oil under driver's side of engine
I am assuming head gasket leak or worse, but I have had no time to even
try starting it or pulling apart engine.
One side of engine's exhaust pipes and "Y" are rusted out
Battery, although not very old, is completely and probably irreversible
discharged.
Power steering link leaked so the pump has been disconnected for years
(again it had no belt on it, so no futher wear)
It will need to be towed away.
I have no time (full time job and full time university classes) so I
probably cannot "part it out"
If you have a good engine, want to do an engine rebuild or a Subaru
conversion (my daughter will not let me take the engine out of her Subaru !)
this would be a great starting point.
I am located approximately 10 miles northeast of Akron and 30 miles
southeast of Cleveland Ohio
(less than 5 miles from Ohio turnpike or 12 from Route 76/80)
Remember, first reasonable offer or best offer by end of August or I
will have to call one of the local groups that will pickup any vehicle
for free and I would hate to have it go to scrap after many years of
faithful service.
