Description

This 1982 Vanagon Westfalia Camper is an extremely solid. low mileage. original vehicle. I purchased this with the intention of doing a light restoration. but things happen and now it is available for sale (at no reserve. high bidder takes it home!) I have owned over a dozen Vanagon Westfalias. and this is easily one of the cleanest. most original that I have come across. This 85. 00 original mile Westy features the not so common 1. 6 liter diesel engine. with a 4-speed manual transmission. The exterior and underneath are incredibly solid and clean. There are rust spots. but no major rot anywhere. The underneath is super clean. and the jack points are 100% solid. At one point (probably when new). pin striping and decals were added to the van. What's left of the decals can be seen at the rear of each side of the van. The interior is near mint condition. as you can see in the pics. It features fold out bed. upper full-size bed. refrigerator. stove. sink. electric outlets. and much. much more. It even has the original mosquito net for the rear hatch. The only thing missing is the table-top for the small table arm behind the driver seat. The table arm is there though. The canvas top is in decent shape with one patch. and there is a small tear at the rear portion. This Vanagon has the 1. 6 liter diesel motor. which is currently running. but since it sat for a couple years. it will need tuned up. The starter will need to be replaced. it's not working currently. I push-started it and it fired right up. even after sitting for 2 and a half years! Below is a link to the video where it comes to life for the first time after a long. 2 and a half year hibernation. It's loud in the video because the muffler was off at that time. And. it's a bit smoky. because it's a diesel that has been sitting for a couple years. https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=FBA3BlEuVCs&feature=youtu. be This is a rare opportunity to get an original. super solid. incredibly low mileage Vanagon Westfalia that will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment. Don't pass it up. or you'll regret it as soon as the auction ends! Please feel free to ask any questions. If you would like additional pictures of any specific areas. just ask and I'll get them to you. Thanks. and good luck!!Vehicle sold as-is. where is. with no warranty expressed or implied. After all. it is a 33 year old VW. It is the responsibility of the interested buyer to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. Serious bidders only please! $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. Short or not so short term storage of Vanagon available until you are able to pick-up. On Apr-27-15 at 08:15:33 PDT. seller added the following information:I've received numerous inquiries regarding the ability of this Vanagon to drive right now. Just to be clear. the engine does run. but not as well as it should. It has been sitting for 2 and a half years. and will need a thorough tune up. at least. I only had it running once. and it did not feel like it was running at 100%. Also. I didn't run it for more than a minute or so. I don't know anything about diesels. so I can't accurately speak to what it may need. It may just need to be run. but I can't say that for sure.
