$3k Cdn for a 1984 not running van. Body looks nice enough. Would snatch it up if I were closer and had space!

I think by the time you put $10k (+?) into rust repair, you'll be getting into Westy pricing pretty quick. It kind of looks to me like there might be some repainted areas over the rust. So it's likely much worse than it looks. If you leave the body and rock it as is, it probably won't take too long before the fix costs double. I don't think it's a terrible price. Maybe fair at best, but not a deal in my opinion. At least compared to what I've seen, bought, and sold over recent years. I'm sure it will sell as a 'starter van' to someone looking to get into a Vanagon at a lower price point. |

CA titled diesel van with a Suby, great starter for 2021 IMO, especially given the increase in prices _________________ 1985.5 - Vanagon Westfalia Weekender Wolfsburg Edition - LH8U - "Penny"

Even though this is a purported running engine, since it's now in a non running and an incomplete conversion, IMO, the price should be lower, in spite of it being an AW.
To my eye, the exhaust was built to a stock oil pan. i.e. it may not have a shortened oil pan, as many suby swaps have. That may not be a deal breaker but the stock oil pan is something one might use to talk down price.

Cons:
- engine doesn’t fire
- some minor body damage
Well in terms of cons those are big ones. Haha. _________________ '87 Syncro
