1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper Pop-up Fuel Injected 1.9l

 

The good:

 

Vehicle is in over all great condition. Engine was rebuilt at 136,651 with replacement injectors, heads, thermostat and intake manifold boots. All records and manuals were kept since first owned. Only 30,000 miles on rebuild! 

 

• New GoWesty skylight.
• Water tank holds fine and works great with the sink.
• Stove is nice and clean and operates fine.
• All lights are operating and vehicle is running strong.
• A dealer installed Behr Air Conditioning unit is installed on the vehicle. I did remove the compressor to use it to check another buddy’s AC operation to confirm that his compressor was the problem…it was. I reinstalled the compressor but did not hook the AC lines and belt backup, I wanted to replace the o-rings before I did. I eventually got the o-rings, but never got around to installing them. I will throw those in with the purchase of the vehicle. 
• Captain’s chairs are in good shape and operate freely. 
• New battery. 
• Tires are in good shape. If the Buy It Now is used I will also throw in (5) 16” Audi A4 aluminum five spoke rims that had the centers professionally machined out to fit the hub center on the Vanagon (cost me about $700).
• Upgraded heavy duty rear hatch struts.
• Original bug screens and shades are included.
• A Thule cargo rack with load bars and AeroCargo container is included. I had it installed on my last Vanagon and just have not installed it on this one (pictures can be sent on request, it currently is not installed). It's great for camping, gives you a secure place to store items out of the way of the site (cost me about $1000).
• The pop-up was replaced with an up-graded three sided screened unit with “zipper” screen windows, which is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. 

 
 The not so good:
 

• The paint is starting to bubble a little bit in the typical Vanagon areas (see photos). 
• There is a oil leak coming from the front main seal (if this is corrected the engine would be dry).
• There are various “dings/dents” on the body, the most notable is the on the p/s door (cause by a faulty mirror that was fixed, see photos).
• The heater core switch above the spare wheel is pushed open so heat constantly comes out on your feet (I can switch it back for the person who purchases it). I just liked it because it kept the cabin warm in the winter and the engine cool in the summer. I was going to but a manual switch under the dash like everyone else, I just never got around to it.
• The table behind the driver's side captain's chair is missing.
• The arm rests on the driver's and passenger side doors are missing.
• The small rubber step-up mat on the passenger side is missing.
• The small brown door latch on the water tank access door is broken. 
• The curtains could use to be replaced; they are sun bleached pretty bad but operate fine.

 
This was an original California Vanagon, that went to Colorado and now resides in NJ. It just needs a home that will love it as much as we do. I am moving to the city and parking is very limited and costly. It’s not in my best interest to take this with me, but at the same time I will not give it away. If I have to pay for parking just to keep it, I will. It’s a great vehicle and hate to see it go. I have included MANY high resolution photos for a further visual inspection. Please be advised that I have this vehicle listed locally and there is a possibility that the auction can end early.
