I recently got this Vanagon from the original owners (buyer will be legal second owner).It had been sitting for a few years, and fuel lines had dried up and cracked.I replaced fuel filter and small portion of lines, slapped a new battery in, and it fired up!But...it doesnt want to stay running. I also replaced cap, rotor, all plugs, and cleaned the throttle body.Now it doesnt want to start again either...it cranks, but seems to not be getting fuel it needs to fire.Im pretty sure the injectors need a good cleaning and it needs timing, and it should be purring in no time.This is a watercooled engine, not aircooled.The original owners gave me some receipts, but not an extensive amount.They did have the engine replaced, and this one has around 60,000 miles from their recollection.I put a set of ok tires on the original 14" steelies, and all 4 original hubcaps are stored inside the bus.The interior definitely shows its age, but would surely be usable with a good cleaning. It is actually cleaning up nicely, but some wear to the seats and carpet.I put basic seat covers on the front seats for now. Dash is really nice. Couple knobs missing, etc, but minor things.I havent opened sunroof (oh yeah, its a sunroof model!) because the handle seems brittle. Owners said it was operational. Paint on the outside of the sunroof is actually covered in surface rust (this must be common for these).98% original paint that is polishing out pretty well. Rear passenger quarter panel had a small repair with repaint, thats it.I am not really making money on this, i just need to get some of my money back to pay for engine work on my other car.No back fees due to DMV, but does need smog and transfer before sticker issued.I have the signed original pinkslip from original owners and dmv papers stating all fees paid recently. Buyer will be 2nd registered owner.**Please note** I have the pinkslip signed over from the original owner. I never put it in my name. I know it is seller's responsibility to smog if transfering in CA, but I am considering it being sold "for parts" and not going to do DMV stuff in my name for this sale. I do have pinkslip in hand and DMV receipt to previous owners paying all fees recently. Buyer can choose to smog and register when they get it running well again.**If not sold in this auction, its going in the shop for tune-up and smog...then price will go up substantially. At close of auction, paypal deposit required.Payment in full within 7days. Seller will store vehicle for 7days at no charge.After 7days from auction closing, storage fees of $50 per day will be due at time of pickup. *As stated above: vehicle will not stay running and will need to be towed.*Location is in Clovis, CA 93612.
