I find it amusing that it has a Sliding door as a feature, as well as a cassette player and Carb’d motor that will never pass emissions in a lot of states. I wonder what was under the body and Re spray, I hope the buyer is cautious.

It looks like our Zeitgeist had a hand in bringing this van to it's current state, from the auction chatter: i

There were numerous inaccuracies expressed in the ad and comment sections. I don't think anyone intentionally prevaricated, but the seller didn't know much about the subject matter. It's a unicorn for sure, but an ongoing project unicorn to be clear. I thought it odd that they didn't mention the van was originally delivered with an Oettinger WBX6, which is Unicorn plus material.
For the record:
I didn't perform any suspension work, nor did I install the diesel heater. The engine also was a used unit (not rebuilt), but with fairly low mileage. I had nothing to do with this sale, nor did I know it was taking place. |

That van has been passed around so much. Just look at the carfax.

I see four owners, that's not bad with a 31 year old vehicle.
Supposed to have been sold within the same family for whatever that's worth.
Seller claims good service records, which seems to me the more important info.

....and bid to $19,255 - not a lot of love for this one - perhaps the end of camping the season played a role??

Not a BaT Van, but a 1992 (?) Syncro Doka - white, 2.1 WBX manual with a questionable '24K' miles and a suspect respray - looks awesome from 10 ft:
