For lack of knowledge, time, money or sufficient enthusiasm, I am selling
my late mother's Vanagon GL Adventurewagen.
I inherited this car, along with all service records, about a year and a
half ago, drove it for a few months and then parked it when it was
diagnosed with a leaking headgasket. It was running fine but hasn't been
started in a year. It has 178k on the original engine, and reams of
maintenance receipts from the local VW guy. Many parts are relatively new,
but I'm sure the engine is in need of replacement or rebuild.
The adventurewagen conversion features a tall fiberglass top (not a
pop-top), so you can stand up inside very comfortably even while on the
road. There is an AM/FM cassette stereo with front and rear speakers,
fridge, sink, stove, heater, cabinets and cubbies, water and electric
hookup stuff, auxillary battery, propane tank, skylight and 3 fold-down
tables. Up top, in the front is a very large storage area over the front
seats, in back there is a small bed somewhat larger than a twin that pulls
out to sleep two kids. Behind the back seat is a double bed that folds out
to sleep two adults. Much more useful room inside than a pop-top. There is
a full set of curtains and an assortment of personal mods that mom made for
long road trips. Tasteful and clever stuff. There's a ball hitch with
functional wiring used to tow a light rowboat on a small trailer, mostly
locally and to Baja and BC, not heavy loads. Mom bought the car new and
took it on numerous multi-week long trips.
Appearance is, hmm, ok. There is a dent/scrape on the side behind the
slider door (Dad did it backing up) and the bumper corners have met solid
objects in other parking mistakes. Some rust, but from coastal air, not
salty roads. Otherwise the (brown and tan) paint and (beige) seats and
(teak trimmed) interior are in reasonably good condition. The car has never
been crashed or thrashed, just used. I am hoping to find a buyer who would
fix it up and return it to more adventurous journeys. For a small
investment, it would make a great home away from home.
Price is $1200. The car in is the Stanford area.
pmail or phone for more info and directions to see it.
