1977 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon

Manual

Clear

1977 "Tin Top" Camper. Approx 35,000 miles on the rebuilt factory fuel injected 2 liter hydraulic valve motor. Manual transmission. New clutch. The engine bay is very clean and tidy (see pictures). The transmission shifts crisp and precise. The motor runs strong. The van cruises at high way speeds easily. The steering is tight, brakes are excellent. Brand new correct load rated light truck tires front and rear. This bus spent most of its life in The Pacific North West. 99% rust free. This bus has been garaged during my ownership. This van has had one repaint by the previous owner (dark metallic blue). The repaint is a very presentable driver quality paint job say for a few minor scratches and imperfections. All of the window rubber has been replaced. Nice door and body gaps. The under carriage, frame, jack points, nose, floors, dog legs, inner rockers, all doors, battery trays, gutters , ect. are rust free. All four wheels were repainted. The factory undercoating has done a very good job of preserving the undercarriage of the van. The interior is in excellent condition. The complete interior was taken out and the floors and behind the interior panels were painted with a heavy duty bed liner paint to protect the bus from water, rust, as well as some sound deadening benefits. The dash is perfect and has no cracks. I recently had the driver and passenger side front seats both reupholstered. The seat pads were replaced with all new foam padding. Correct vinyl basket weave reproduction seat covers from TMI were used. The rear bed/seat, jump seat, and rear cushion upholstery is in excellent condition. I made all new interior panels out of 1/4 birch ply wood ie; (front door panels, slider door panel, long panel, and rear panels). New Pioneer CD player that is Ipod and MP3 compatible. The original head liner is near perfect with the exception of one very small 1 inch cut. The rear bed is a full size bed (there is no rear blind spots with this interior lay out). Plenty of storage under the Z-bed, jump seat, and the closet behind the drivers seat. Three seat belts in back. A fourth seat belt can be easily added to the jump seat if needed (I can include a extra seat belt if requested). I installed nice new carpet in back as well as a new solid wood table that fold up or down. New ABS plastic glove box. Nice color coordinated "snow flake" curtains. The heater, dash lights, fuel gauge, blinkers, head lights, brake lights, wipers, blinkers, ect. all work well. This is a nice looking clean van and incredibly reliable. I have never had any issues with the van during my ownership. The motor runs like a watch. The 2 liter fuel injected hydraulic motor (found in 77-79 VW buses) is considers by many the most reliable, powerful, and best air-cooled motor Volkswagen ever built. The van has been meticulous maintained and serviced. This is a very nice van perfect for camping, cruising, or a very nice daily driver. Clear Washington title.
