1979 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon

2L

2292136572

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION!! Up for sale is my 1979 Volkswagen Van with 125,000 miles, and only 11,000 on a totally rebuilt motor. This van comes equipped with the following options. -2L motor (rebuilt less then 11,000 miles ago) - Manual transmission -CD player - Newer tires (90% tread life) - Lots of new items (listed below) The van drives great! It fires right up and purrs like a kitten even on a cold start after sitting for weeks. The clutch actuates in the middle of the peddle throw with plenty of life left and shifts through all the gears with ease. The shift lever is a little sloppy (very common with old vans) and might need shift bushings at some point down the road, but its not an urgent issue. The electrical items appear to all be working and wiring is trouble free. The body is in pretty good shape, it was painted a few years back and could use a few touch up’s here and there. The majority of the issues are small bubbles on the paint near the rear engine hatch and on the underside aft edge of the sliding door. The underside and frame are in great shape with the factory undercoating still covering most areas. For the majority of you out there you have probably experienced yourself or know someone who has had to rebuild one of these motors. It can be a total pain in the butt!! Luckily this one has already been done with only 11,000 miles on the rebuild. The motor was completely disassembled and serviced by a local shop that specializes in old VDubs. When it was all said and done the work cost just over $3100!! A huge savings for the next owner and guaranteed reliability! The tires and brakes are quite new and the shocks have just been replaced. The van just had a $713.00 service on 8/1/13, Its ready for an adventure! If you have any questions or would like to take it for a ride please do not hesitate to contact me @ 440-487-1762.On Nov-05-13 at 09:12:53 PST, seller added the following information: A few side notes in response to the many questions I have received about this van: *** I have had a lot of questions about the body and general drivability of the van. The body has a few bubbles and perforations around the rear engine hing doors between the door and the top of the bumper, the underside rear edge of the passenger rear wheel arch and the underside of the rear edge of the sliding door. These areas are very minor and the undercarriage and structural areas are very solid! The van drives great! Steering is responsive and it tracks straight while on the freeway even at 70mph! ** The heater tubes / vents are not connected. ** I will be departing the country 11/9 and will have limited access to emails, a family member available to assist in the pick up of the vehicle. If the seller likes Im happy to store the vehicle for them while transport arrangements are being made. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Dan 440-487-1762
