1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia The rear-wheel drive Vanagon was well equipped with rack and pinion steering, power-assisted brakes, and front and rear independent suspension. Standard features also included swiveling front bucket seats, a rear window defogger, two-speed windshield wipers, vinyl trimmed upholstery and a folding rear bench seat that provided additional cargo space. Great steering radius and visibility, and unparalleled in ergonomics/space, road trip and camping comfort. Room for as many friends as you want, and no other van, truck, or luxury SUV ever made can come close to matching the amenities and uses that the 1980-1991 Vanagon Westfalias offer. Truly a "swiss army knife on wheels" the Vanagon Westfalia is a favorite amongst the camping crowd who appreciate it for it's fine handling, versitility and comfort. From the pop up top with sleeping berth to the stove, sink, pantry and abundant storage the Westfalia is the picture of efficiency and economy. This completely rust free southwest example runs and looks great. Showing 133K miles (original per the title) It has the original white paint and no signs of any body damage or repairs. The front and rear seats and bed pad are the original multi-colored striped material with no rips or tears although the padding for the front seats has deteriorated over the years. The headliner above the driver's area is not original. The cloth for the popup is in good shape with no tears or rips, and the original Westfalia camping accessories- sink with built in tank and pump, gas stove and refrigerator are all there. It has one swivel table by the rear bench seat. This is an A/C equipped vehicle but does not have a compressor installed. Everything else looks to be there- the evaporator & fan assembly as well as the refrigerant lines that hook up to the compressor. I make no claims as to the completeness of the system- but it looks like a compressor & charge may be all it needs to be operational. The 4 cylinder gas motor works well and was claimed to have been rebuilt in the last 20K miles per the previous owner, but I have no documentation. It was also converted over to carburetor when the rebuild was done. The standard 4 speed trans and clutch work fine- no grinding or slipping. It starts easy, tracks straight, goes down the road fine and stops well. It does need new tires because the van sat for a year and the tires have flat spots on them. This Westy is a great example that is good to go as-is or needs little for a full restoration. The pictures tell most of the story, but if you need more photos of any specific area please feel free to contact me and I will get them to you. The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. It is available for viewing in Scottsdale, Arizona- please contact me to arrange an appointment. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
