Anyone seen this one yet? It's a euro model. Check out what suspension it has! H&R sports and a set of Koni's!

I think that's a Magnum interior...

Can you say Vic Ahmad ,Or Vanamania. look in the background at the other Vanagons and the building.
The only thing going for it is the guy has 100 % feedback. it may not be Vic's but I bet a real close fiend ,yes fiend.

$2500 for a trash Vanagon. That thing looks bad. And was repainted.

I think those are Weitec springs not H&R's. :?:

I'm thinking its an illegal import with swapped VINs. It seems like its more interesting (and valuable) as parts than as a whole van.

Since I'm in Vegas now, I'd be very tempted to go and check this out. Very curious. EXCEPT, I just lost the use of my clutch this morning. :!: Damn pedal goes to the floor pretty easily. Brake fluid is still full, and both master and slave were recently replaced..... so I'm about to start searching. :evil:

OK everyone, Just hold on. Seller will not....repeat... NOT accept Green Stamps in lieu of cash for this van. I even tried to sweeten the deal with my colllection of Raliegh cigarette coupons but to no avail :evil:

Check to see if the lever on the trans is moving the appropriate distance, if it is, then pulling the trans is in order. If it isn't, and the slave isn't leaking, then it's the clutch master.
