I would say it is running driving and stopping.
but that hole in the floor is where the throttle pedal belongs..
then again a NA 1.6l Diesel @48hp peak
you just wire the throttle open at the engine and modulate between the brake & clutch.. it'll get there.. especially if it's down hill. _________________

I stumbled upon this in the Bozeman craigslist. Licensed in Alaska.

I believe I’ve seen that van in person in Juneau a few years back. Very intriguing veg setup that seemed to be working well for the owner at the time. Claimed was running almost entirely on veg oil from Juneau restaurants, just needed diesel to startup and shutdown. Bummer about the rust. Did not look closely at the van so no idea on the specifics. _________________ '91 Westfalia, Bordeaux Red Pearl 2.1L 2wd Auto

So when you finally install the central V10 in it, you can showcase at local events. Just need a few neons. _________________ '90 Little Blue Truck, 2WD auto, FAS GenV 2.0 NA (AVH) |

Not necessarily a whine. Are these factory 16" Syncro wheels ? Or Go Westy or?

^^^ A great question to ask the seller. Have you?
FWIW: I always assume "OEM" means aftermarket...

I wasn't interested in the Van. Therefore I didn't ask the seller. I simply asked because the wheels didn't look like what i assumed where a factory supplied 16" Syncro wheel. i've since searched / looked it up. I understand what OEM means original equipment manufacture . Thanks for the reply. In reading the feed back of seller I don't think I buy anything he's offering. _________________ 1959 Model M1: 118

Those aren't syncro 16 rims. There aren't enough holes, they look too wide and lack some noticeable details.
They look like some rims GW used to offer. |

I always adore the comments along the lines of, "PERFECT vehicle for a complete and total restoration of body and electrical and mechanical!!"
Like that's a huge selling point - where you're all excited that you're selling a piece of garbage that needs everything.
Another fun one is: "Interior completely gutted so it's perfect for your customization!"
Golly, THANKS for stripping out a couple thousand bucks worth of quality factory camping interior for me so I can have an empty shell - that's awesome! |

At that price, I'm surprised it's even allowed to see the outdoors. _________________ 1988 Caravelle - FB25B - Syncro converted
