1984 Vanagon Westfalia Camper New Restore Westy   Price: 27900
Newly restored, zero seat miles Westfalia Camper. This restoration, like all, has a story with it, but to start out short this was the biggest project my shop has tackled. Some restores are mechanical, some are cosmetic, but this had both. The things that were in really good shape, like the motor and transmission, besides being freshly serviced and tuned up, were left alone for two reasons. 1. If it's in great shape, you can't "fix" it. 2. It helps keep the sale price reasonable for those who might want a specific set up, like a subaru or diesel conversion, and also the purist who likes the oem set up. Also, a motor swap is a personal thing I would advise being very involved and informed about. It is also a good time to build a relationship with a professional shop that can locally install and warranty the work done.

Optional 15" rims (6, so you'd have 2 spares) available with good General Grabbers installed. Also, if you want a street tire installed on 14" or 15" rims, that too can be arranged (there are some really nice 16" rims also available from different places, if that is your hearts desire, and we would make allowances for such)


This Ad is currently in the sneak peek mode, just a few pics and a partial laundry list of parts and repairs with much more to be added soon.

*update: here is a link to some higher definition photos, a work in progress as I take and add photos to it

Here is a quick vid of the motor running at full temp. Fan cycles on as off properly. No leaks or noises. Will make a cold start vid and show the sensor outputs with my diagnostic module. A healthy and smooth running motor.

Please feel free to ask any questions in an email, or set up a time to chat about it over the phone. While I would encourage seeing it in person, taking a drive in it, delivery can be arranged easily. Clear title in my name, currently registered with Antique Auto plate/tags. Will be adding links to high definition photos and some videos of cold start, revs, walk around and test drives.

-Offers and partial trades are welcome for consideration. Just want to chat about Vanagons, or advice on purchasing a Vanagon? Feel free to drop a msg. Have owned 12 or so Vanagons, and probably another 15ish other VWs, plus Jeeps, Dodges etc, with an almost 20 years as a motorcycle tech with 4 factory manufacturer certifications. Electively chose the "van-life" before it was a "hash-tag" (lol) for a few years. Also have nearly a dozen clients/friends that can vouch for my work if you'd like a review...

*Special thanks to Ken at VanAgain.com, BusDepot.com, SewFineProducts.com, GoWesty.com, uniwerksdesign.com and U-Pol for supplying parts, supplies and technical advice on this restoration.
