Vehicle Detail
Hello...what you are looking at here today is a really special vehicle. We have a large factory in Atlanta where we build vans for people in wheelchairs and I collect old British cars. My shop foreman, however, is a true Porsche (pronounced POR-SHA) Nut. Also he is not married so he has too much time and money on his hands. This is why this car exists. He saw that Porsche had several of these VW vanagons built with Porsche engines in them and labeled b32s. see attached link;; http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/did-you-know-porsche-built-a-vw-t3-vanagon-based-b32/ So Chris started out to make a usable re-creation of this vehicle. Well after doing alittle research he found that all the people who want to drive Vanagons now put in the Subaru 2.2 engine, so he got a good Vanagon and did this engine conversion. Then it gets serious....So the description of van is as follows: Exterior: GT3RS orange with charcoal trim (professionally done for over $6000) Fuchs 17” replica wheels Nitto Neo-Gen 235-50-17 Tires Custom upper mesh grille with Porsche emblem Custom lower mesh grille Custom Porsche script “b22S “ on the lift gate VW emblem removed Smoke front turn signal All new window seal Mechanical Subaru 2.2 conversion from a 1994 Legacy (lots of power and not burning any oil) 4 speed VW manual transmission All the components for the conversion are from www.smallcar.com New cross drilled front rotors with new pads New front end components (ball joint, tie rod, wheel bearings) Lowering springs Audi turbo rear disk brake conversion with cross drilled rotors Addco front and rear sway bar New fuel tank New rear axle shaft Timing belt and cam seal were just done ICE Cold AC Interior Porsche 951 leather steering wheel Porsche 356 left side ignition switch Suede headliner (professionally done $1400) New seat upholstery with orange stitching (professionally done $2800) New carpet New custom door panels Carputer with DVD-RW, Touch screen, Centrafuse 4.0 dashboard with navigation, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wireless keyboard Short throw shifter 110 power outlet with 1000 watt inverter Power mirrors Remote lock-unlock So in other words....This van is a spare No Time/ spare No expense build that drives great, carries a lot of people, makes great mobile office...Super cool on track day. You can drive this vehicle anywhere with no hesitation. But going to the track in this van he now has the Hots to build a Porsche track car......so......as with all things....for something new to be built...something else has to go....Therefore this beautiful Van creation is up for sale. Oh, to be independently wealthy!!!! Feel free to come by our factory and drive the van or have a local friend check it out for you. They will be blown away... The reserve is very fair and the vehicle is advertised elsewhere so we reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime. Also if you do not have at least 5 ebay score or negative feedback, you need to contct us before you bid. Otherwise we will cancel the bid. (sorry, there just to many time wasters out there and this is a serious auction that is a legal commitment). You will not find anything like this one again, so.....Happy bidding.
