OK folks, this is insane pricing.  I'm starting to crack.  OK.. I'll sell my
'85 Crewcab autobox for half this, or less even.  Everything works and well,
needs nothing (well clean bumpers would help), extremely solid, minimal seam
rust (too stiff to flex)  Sorry no canopy, but I'd want $2500 more anyhow.
So send the money today!  After seeing $19.5K for a Syncro last week these
numbers are too crazy to resist.  My wife has taken over the Audi, and 4
cars is too many. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I'll deliver it
stateside as far south as Boston. That's about 10hrs from me, it is
reliable.  You of course will be handling importation details... :(  (and
I'll help!) :)


 Seriously folks, it's on the block! Tim

Details:

1985 1.9l CrewCab Transporter  (box stock, no frills/no mods)

I am second owner, was bought originally as family vehicle, never used for

believe the PO.
Can't think of what else, your turn.   tim
