Vehicle Detail
1985 Volkswagen Vanagon GL, 1.9L, 165K 5-spdMy Dad and I bought it with the intent of making it into a project car and occasional camper, but have decided to focus on another project and must free up space in the garage. Until 2011 the van was in Virginia, garaged in NY after that, which probably explains the clean wheel wells and frame rails. The van starts and runs, but begins smoking out of the exhaust once warmed up. The good: - The engine, and all the accessories are dry - no leaks on the ground- Transmission shifts through the gears well- Oil is clean - no signs of head gasket failure - Matching Cooper/Douglas tires in the front/rear, respectively, about 50%, good condition - VR-3 AM/FM/CD/USB/Aux in-dash unit with after-market speakers - Turn-signals/headlights/marker lights/brake lights all work - All dash lights work on ignition, no warning lights on when engine is running - Interior lights operational - Wipers/washer operational - HVAC cannot be tested - missing knobs - Interior could use good vacuuming and a shampoo, but is in pretty good shape otherwise - For the year, exceptionally rust-free and clean wheel-wells, underside, and frame rails - Official Factory Repair Manual included w/ sale The bad: - Rear hatch struts need to be replaced - A dent in the rear bumper - Surface rust on the inside of the rear hatch - Some dents on the body (see pics for more details), some are covered up in spray-paint (not an exact paint match) - Bumpers are missing end-caps: front left/right, rear right More pictures are available upon request.On Mar-27-14 at 15:01:12 PDT, seller added the following information: As I mentioned above, the engine starts to emit blue smoke when warm and the vehicle is not insured or plated, so the vehicle cannot be driven much further than your trailer or auto carrier of choice.On Mar-27-14 at 15:08:44 PDT, seller added the following information: I found out that there might have been issues with the odometer in the past, so the actual mileage may be inaccurate. Sorry for the inconvenience.
