Sounds good Miquel,
That's a special model - 85 Wolfsfurb Weekender. The 85's I have seen of
that exact year and model have all been identical to 85 Wolfy Weekender -
that's brown with a goldish stripe in the middle, shredomatic light an
uholstery, and interior panels in a dark camel sort of color, not the
'normal' door panels, which are the normal cardbaord, but the interior penel
on the driver's side, in the main area in back, plus below the rear seat -
that all appears to be metal covered with vinyl to me - a nice step up from
the usual covered paperboard or whatever you want to call it.
it should have a tachometer, PS and AC.
and yes.......they come with a fridge that looks like an ice box kinda - top
loading, attaches to the floor with two thumb screw/nut things, and it runs
on either 110 AC or 12 volts via a cigarette light plug. Mine doesn't seem
to do anything on 12 volts, not starting from warm on a summer day anyway.
but a special model for sure.
I saw one identical to mine about a year and a half ago in the southerest
with not-too-high miles, excellent conditoin throughout , and they were
asking $ 9,200. Don't know if it sold for that though.
ok, back to work on my 85 Adventurewagon , that's rust and dent free, and
for sale, and has a vastly improved interior. And actually, in my sedlom r
humble opinion, *anything* done to the stock AW interior layout would be a
massive improvement over the stock set up , and I'll be finishing up that
part too - remodeling the interior.
My 83 Westy just sold vai theSamba to an Oregon gentlemen just the other
day.
and I gotta get my collectible grade 82 Sunroof Diesel engine's ring and
valve job done and sell that baby too !
( working on a total of 7 seller vangons , most of them dent and rust free,
and special models or campers, two of them diesel. )
