1989 VW Vanagon GL Westfalia   Price: 28,000
For Sale

1989 VW Vanagon GL $28,000

READY FOR QUICK SALE!

Up for sale to a true VanLifer or avid off-grid camper - 1989 Vanagon GL with 252,000 original miles. Current engine was replaced at 127, 000 miles and runs perfectly. This Westy has every upgrade you would ever need. This van was one of the first GoWesty (GW) builds done in 2005 and original cost was $43,000. It has a 5 speed manual transmission, standard Vanagons have a 4-speed transmission. Shift this van into 5th gear and leave your van buddies behind as you relax at 75/80 MPH. First gear is a crawling gear and it’s gone everywhere my friends Syncro has gone!

I purchased this van in (second owner after the GW rebuild) and have done through many upgrades since then. , worked for nearly three years at S.D. Westy and did the following upgrades:

GW 2450cc engine, water jackets replaced (head gaskets) at 227k miles using GoWesty rebuild kit due to a cold weather drip (so essentially rebuilt). GoWesty engines currently $7,300.

GW Fuel Injection Kit ($3,400).

New clutch w/new master & slave cylinder & new rear main seal, flywheel, new steering rack & power steering pump w/stainless steel line, water pump, thermostat & housing, brake fluid reservoir, GW high torque starter, new alternator, fuel pressure regulator, tie rods, power steering reservoir, drive joint cap & seal and tons more.

GW Bigger Brake kit ($599).

GW Stainless Steel coolant pipes.

Bilstein Heavy Duty shock absorbers.

GW zero lift kit (springs), everyone thinks it’s a Syncro.

GW 15” rims x5

BFG AT tires, new

Ricaro seats

S. African Grill w/high power headlights

Complete front end rebuild using T3 Power Flex Bushings

Shift Linkage rebuilt

A/C removed has better cooling through radiator, added storage in rear

In addition to the above, this van has these extras:

Rubber & upgraded floor mats, carpeting throughout main cabin (original floor underneath), new stereo, Yakima Roof Racks (3 bars), upgraded GW three window tent canvas w/GW rainfly (perfect condition), Truckfridge (you can have ice!), GW solar panel and 2 AGM auxiliary batteries (batteries charge off of shore power, solar or via alternator), horn upgrade, GW dash gauge cluster printed circuit replacement, power windows/door locks, 2” receiver hitch, motor mounts replaced, Burley Rear Swing out spare tire mount, older style GW bumpers, new front windshield & seal, snow chains, drivers side rear sliding window for back passenger, lap/shoulder seatbelts for rear passengers, ARB large awning, LED inside light, 2 sets of hydraulic lifts for pop top (light for no load, heavy for large loads such as paddle boards), new water tank pump and upgraded sink faucet and GW all around window insulation covers. I have most receipts for repairs and parts.

This is no stock van that people are asking $20-25K for...it would just like a nice coat of paint in its future. It is detailed, clean and ready to pack for your first camp!

Clean Title

Serious inquiries only, please.
