If you have been looking for an extremely rare vintage VW (25 years old this year), you have found it. Not a Weekender, not a Wesfalia, not a 7 passenger, but one that I have never seen (until this one) - a 6 passenger Wolfsburg edition. Yep, 3 rows of bucket seats! Could this be the holy grail of Vanagons? According to the previous owner, this setup is a factory option only available in Germany. I have done a bit of research, but could not find any information. It is way cool, and very professional, and everything about it indicates it is a factory job. All 3 rows of bucket seats are the same style/fabric, and each has its own "pillow" insert for the headrest (factory VW with part numbers). While the front two seats do not rotate (like a Westy), the second row does (360 degrees). The third row reclines and can be raised/lowered. On the driver's side between the 2nd and 3rd row there is a retracting table and fluorescent light. There are really cool storage compartments built in on the outside of the back row of seats. The body does have some rust, but is mostly solid. Nose is peppered with stone chips that have surface rust, step pads have rust, driver's side wheel well has rust, and hatch is rusted through. Underside is very solid. The interior is overall clean and in good condition, but there are cigarette burns on the driver's seat, carpet and dash (by ash tray); this must have been a long time ago, as there is no foul smell or residual odor. Some light stains throughout, but all in all a clean interior. All of the glass is intact, and all of the lights work. Bumpers are cracked. A/C ductwork needs to be reinstalled (all pieces are there). Headliner is perfect. Factory owner's manual, jack, and skeleton key. The 2.1 wasserboxer runs well (receipt for rebuilt heads), the automatic transmission shifts smooth, and the van drives nice. The engine compartment is a bit dirty/grimy, but there are no puddles under the van, so nothing appears to be leaking (and all fluids are topped off). The cruise control works, and it has factory A/C (not tested). The tires are in good condition (2 matching pairs) and mounted to factory 14" alloy wheels. There are some extra parts that come with the bus too. It has power windows (passenger side is not currently working; extra switch included), power steering and power brakes. The interior cabin fan does not turn on (suspect a bad switch; replacement switch included). The Odometer is not working (reads 175,511), so true mileage is unknown. Gas gauge is also not working. Fuel gauge, temperature gauge, speedometer, idiot lights and even the clock are working, as is the factory AM/FM Cassette player.
