With a heavy heart, I am putting my 91 Camper up
for sale (sniff, sniff...)

1991 Vanagon Westfalia Camper GL, 4 spd, just shy
of 98,000 miles, metallic blue, factory AM/FM/cassette.
Has been very well maintained, mostly by a dealer
with a mechanic that really seems to know Vanagons.
I have stayed ahead of things, have done oil changes
every 3000 miles, haven't been afraid to spend money
on maintenance, and have all my records. New heads
at 67k. Complete new exhaust system about six months
ago. New Michelin MXT tires about two years ago
with only 15k miles on wear on them. Lots of mecha-
nical parts replaced over the last three or four years.
The interior and camper stuff (stove, sink, fridge, canvas
top, etc.) are in excellent condition. Exterior has a couple
of small dents and a cracked bumper on the right rear.
(I bumped a tree while camping in Maine in the rain last
fall.) There is no rust on the body because I've sanded
and painted any spots I've found. I have four extra steel
wheels with Nokia snow tires on them that might be
good for one more winter. Since I'm a ham radio operator,
there are two antenna mounts which were installed neatly
and properly so as to have no rust. Ham or CB antennas
could go on either, or a cell phone antenna could go on
the roof one. The A/C struggles on very hot days and I
just noticed that the heater fan isn't working, but those are
the only things wrong with the whole car. The car can be
seen in Chelmsford or Littleton, Mass. (25 miles NW of
Boston)  $11,500. Best to call me at work at 978 952-4792
if you want to talk, or send me an email.
