We are offering at auction a 1982 VW Westfalia pop top camper Diesel. We have the receipt for approx. $3600 for a VW factory rebuilt engine in 2001 which lists the mileage at the time as 3,975.the current odometer reading is approx 38,600 so we're guessing the engine has about 35k on it.The van is being sold as true mileage unknown because the original odometer must have been replaced around the time and mileage the engine was replaced and we have no way of knowing for certain.We installed a rebuilt fuel injection pump,fuel and oil filters,timing belt, glow plugs,manifold to muffler pipe and tailpipe and new front grille. We have the receipts for all the new parts as well as many old receipts ,besides the one for the engine,the original warranty booklet,and the original sales contract for the van to the original 67 year old couple that bought it for $16k+ in Fla.The engine starts very quickly in sub freezing temps and runs very strong.The clutch engages smoothly and the trans shifts with no issues,tires all match with approx. 75% tread left.The van drives straight,stops properly and although you'll win no races it drives great. There was rust thru on the front corner of the sliding door and in the panel between the top of the front bumper and bottom of the lower grille which was cut out and replaced by welded in metal(one of the pics show the new metal before paint)we also welded in a new drivers side body panel between the door and rear dogleg which had just begun to break thru with a metal replacement panel from The Bus Depot. Those areas were the only rust thru on the van. Once repaired they were painted with the correct factory code paint although it is a shade lighter than the remaining original paint. The only project we left undone is the replacement of the material on the pop up part of the roof(avail.@ The Bus Depot for about $300)The roof operates as it should but the canvas has deteriorated. All the lights,directionals,wipers,horn,gages,speedo,odometer and aftermarket Kenwood radio work. We've driven the van several hundred miles without a hiccup and a lot of enjoyment. We encourage inspection and a test drive if possible and will respond to emails. If you'd prefer to speak with us on the phone let us know and we'll provide a #. All inspections and questions must come BEFORE the end of the auction. Also we monitor our auctions closely and will not accept any zero rated bidders or those with questionable feedback. We cancel and block those bidders. Thank you.
