Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon (1983)
for sale

Price: US $20,500.00

Description:

We bought this sweet orange 1983 VW Vanagon Westfalia in 2011, and it has been such a pleasure to own. This van is in really great mechanical shape. In 2012, we had Rocky Mountain Westy in Colorado do a complete Subaru conversion. The van now has a Subaru 2.2L (EJ-22) with only 6, 000 miles on it.
Here are the main points:
- Subaru Engine Conversion 2.2L only has 6, 000 miles
- Subaru engine conversion by Rocky Mountain Westy in 2012
- New clutch in 2012
- Audi wheels added in 2011
- New CV axles in 2015
- Van body has ~125, 000 miles on it
- Nice exhaust system employs Magnaflow with a custom machined heat shield by RMW
- Clean title
- Yakima rack (towers and bars only - SUP carrier in pictures is not included)
- Wood floors added in 2013
- Van is clean
- After market tachometer included
- Original curtains
- Lots of fabric in back the cabinet - was going to use for re-upholstering. Have it!
- Stove, sink and fridge all work
- Really nice Kenwood car stereo with remote control included, but not hooked up (no radio at all)
- Perfect project van
The van starts every time and runs incredibly well, but it needs some work.
The van could use some front end suspension work (the front passenger side is squeaky), along with some aesthetic work. It's a wonderful project just waiting for the right person who has the time, budget and desire to make this machine shine.
The front seats have some tears and should probably be replaced (the front driver side seat is pretty tore up), and the back seat needs re-upholstering. The hook-ups on the outside of the van need to be updated, and the hitch on the back should be removed and replaced with a nice bumper. OR - if you want a hitch on there, it still needs replacing. It was poorly attached with bad welds, so we suggest not using the hitch that is included (previous owner tried their best we suppose).
The ceiling paint is chipping off and should probably be scraped and re-painted or simply sanded down. The staples for the canvas are really rusty - but the canvas itself is in good shape. There is very little rust on the van, it's quite shiny and beautiful.
Everything I mentioned for the most part is aesthetic. This van flies up the mountain passes and flows smoothly on the highway going 75mph. On the highway, you can expect about 22 miles per gallon.
Payment in cash is preferred, but will take other form of payment as long as we can have it clear properly prior to the van's departure. If you pay with PayPal, there might be a convenience fee.
More pictures are available upon your request.
We just don't use the van as much as we wish we could, so we really want someone who will truly live the lifestyle. This van is ready to drive all over the country.
