As TK said, yes it is a weekender....
As Syncrodoka said, it is ZSI, ergo, check the buyer seller feedback thread

If it were me, NO. 
Does look really nice though, still NO

They say it is an '85 Looks newer than that to me. No round headlights, newer bumpers, or is just me and lack of knowledge?

It is a hodgepodge of early and late parts as the description states.
The dash with all of it's brown and black isn't something that I would want to see for hours on a trip- it should be all brown in that van. |

b-b-b-buh... but he says its "an unmolested van from California" 
You know with a non-OEM 3 window tent.. square headlights, skirts from a late model Vanagon.
"unmolested"

| I bought a Vanagon from Vic at ZSI last year. They may have earned their feedback in the forums so I went into the deal a little wary. I got him down quite a bit on the price and I feel I got a good deal. I wouldn't have done the deal if I hadn't driven there to see the vehicle in person. You would definitely need to see the van up close. Vic may be a decent diesel engine mechanic but the paint and bodywork I saw there was pretty bad. I think this one was there last year. There is a bit of bondo in front of the right rear wheel well among other places. They have a warehouse of parts there so the van could be pretty complete. |

If you look at the VIN you will see it started life as a gas engine kombi and it is an 85. It must have been converted to diesel at some point and all the later model exterior accessories added.
