Well, this weekend I bought a new truck and now I need to sell my '87 Westy
GL. I'm sad to see her go, she's been a great camping companion, but I need
to tow stuff, so she's got to go. I bought her 2 1/2 years ago in Arkansas
with 76K on her and now she's up to 100K. I have all maintenance records for
the last 25K, prior to that it's a mystery.
I live in Berthoud, CO, but I work in Boulder, so I can show her in either
place.
Good stuff:
Dove Blue Metallic (or something like that)
Power locks
Power windows
Automatic transmission
A/C works
All camping equipment works perfectly (Fridge, sink, stove)
Window screens, mosquito netting, and front window blind, all in great
shape.
Both tables.
Alloy wheels
Tires in good shape, about 20K on them
No rust
Block Heater
Extra removable captain's chair added by PO in the main compartment.
Oscillating fan installed by PO
Hitch attached to the tow hooks (pulled a 300 lb sailboat)
I've had no major mechanical problems in the last 2 years, minor repairs due
to age:
Repacked CV joints
New Front shocks
New Front brakes
New Accelerator Cable
New pop-top window thingy
New pop-top seals, all the way around
Fixed stripped oil drain plug
Minor wiring problems, fixed with new wiring harnesses
other minor stuff, I can't remember right now
Bad stuff:
It has an aftermarket cruise control, but I never got it to work, of course
I didn't try very hard either. The tachometer light is out, I'm trying to
find a replacement ($2) and the accelerator pedal is a little wobbly ($30),
again, I'm trying to find a replacement. Minor left head leak at 80K, Bars
Leak stopped the problem (I know, some people hate bar's leak, but my temp
gage always stays right at the LED and she has never overheated). Pop-top
has minor tear in mosquito screen (covered when zipped up). Crack in the
windshield.
That's all I can think of, I'd like to get $8000 for her. She's been taken
good care of. If interested, please reply to this email or call:
(H) 970-532-7076
(W) 303-545-2592
(C) 720-635-6313
Thanks to the list for help over the past few years,
Stephen Jones
