They spelled Volkswagen wrong. I'd almost buy it for the one part I need. Somebody buy this and sell me the front table.

Not a super deal, but you might be able to talk him down to more reasonable.

1984 Volkswagon Vanagon Westfalia - $3500 (Alexandria) hide this posting

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


1984 Volkswagon Westfalia

condition: good
cylinders: 4 cylinders
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
paint color: orange
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: mini-van

For sale is a 1984 Volkswagon Vanagon Westfalia full camper.

The van is in decent shape, but is not currently running. It's been sitting for a few months in my back yard and now isn't turning over. Before it was running rich and was having an idling problem. It could be a great van for someone with the time to sort out the issues and have a space to work on it. The body is in good shape, with some rust spots, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 32 year old vehicle. The interior is is 8/10 shape, with the camper parts being in really good shape and both beds in very good condition. The pop top is showing it's age, but has some use left in it. It has 170,000 miles and a rebuilt engine. The fuel lines have been replaced in the past couple years, but I would recommend the new owner replace them for peace of mind. The photos are from right after the van was buffed, so the paint has lost some of the gloss reflected in these photos.

I'm looking to get the van out of my backyard ASAP, which is why the price is so low. Unless your a VW whiz and can get it started, transportation should be provided to get the van home. I'm hoping to find a forever home for the van with someone who will love it and take great care of it. We've loved it while we had it and hope someone else will next. Please email with questions.

They were a hundred miles from Pulaski, so that guy probably got 'em and they're being loaded onto his hauler as we speak.

What does "title status: Missing" mean?

Part van or pain in the buyer's ass usually.

Western Colorado is full of them this week.

The Syncro is likely too rusty to make "my" list of good deals on bad vans but it might interest someone.

Location, location, location...

In Texas, I think that Syncro would be worth a whole lot less. A couple years back, a Syncro with a blown motor was offered on CL in Arkansas for $2k.

Nothing fancy, but someone might be interested in an aircooled passenger van.

https://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/d/83-vw-vanagon-bus-van/6257374982.html

83 VW Vanagon bus/van - $2250

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


clay st at adams

1983 volkswagen vanagon

cylinders: 4 cylinders
fuel: gas
odometer: 153
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: van

beautiful volkswagen bus / van but not currently running! needs a replacement cylinder head to run. the valve seat on 1 of the cylinders has been blown out. prior to taking taking this apart the van was running alright on 3 cylinders (not good to drive it like this though). other than this the engine is almost new. a cylinder head will cost about $200.

GREAT body and interior for a van of this age. 153xxx on body!!! so low for this age. engine was replaced at one point (factory replacement) and looks to have less than 500 miles on it. minimal rust. nice blue paint with matching interior, all original!

seats 7 total, 2 front captains chairs, 2 seat bench in middle 3 seat bench in back. back bench folds flat (shown flat in pictures) the seats are easily removed if you want more space.

van is aircooled (pre '83 switch to water cooled). was originally fuel injected, switched over to a carburetor. original FI system included.

this would be a relatively minor fix, or would be a great vehicle to do a subaru conversion or the like. i bought this to turn into a camper van, but i am moving for work and no longer have time to complete this project.

contact me with questions! reasonable offers considered. text preferred!!
