1980 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Camper Vintage Surf Bus 4cyl Slps4 Drives Grt on 2040-cars

One life to live and so it is your time to enjoy it- Vw Camper will give you the freedom to travel and enjoy life. I park it on the beach and I have a ocean front view house.

1980 Vw Vanagon Westfalia bus, 4cyl Air-cooled with around 30,000 rebuilt engine, Sliding door, safety features, pop-top tent, sleeps 4, This is like a swiss army knife. Camper interior Has table for candle light dinners, fridge that runs on propane gas, 12volt and plug it 110v, Sink with a clear water tank, lots of storage for all you needs, Bottom seat can be a couch and it turns in to a bed. Roof pops up so u can stand up with no problem. I will do my best to Describe this bus- Just changed oil, battery, fuel, fuel pump etc and drove it camping to San Francisco and Santa Cruz area. Bus motor does not overheat and it drove like a dream. See Pics from 1-19-2014 trip photos. We did over 400 miles in the bus and got great gas millage compare to a rv. The bus does need tlc and I would have a full tune up just to have it serviced before I would take it cross country since it sat for over a year. This is a 34+yeard old Vw bus that will need tlc just like any other one and it is Sold as-is and the buyer is responsible for transport and smog etc..The Bus is 34+ years old so it is not perfect condition. If u want a fully restored bus and want to pay 20k this one is not for you and most likely vw bus is maybe not the right choice for you. If you want a nice bus that you will fall in love and use it everyday then this one is for you. It is part of my seniors dad collection and he loved the bus but has not driven it for a year. Clear Ca title and reg is on non-opp starting 2-2014. Please feel free to come by and drive the bus or call me at 916-969-0334 Paul. It is in Loomis, Ca by zip 95677 and close to Sacramento, California. Feel free to ask any questions?? Buyer must pay 500 dollar deposit within 24 hours of end of Auction via Paypal. The Rest must be paid in full with in 5 days via Cash, Bank transfer. I have sold many cars to Europe and to different states. All buyers have been happy customers that got a great deal. These buses are only going to go higher in value because as you see older bus prices are unreachable, these will give you a feeling of driving a vw bus nothing like it. It has a 1960's soul with 1980's technology which makes it a fun car to drive. Tom Hanks the actor bought one recently, a camper too. No Reserve auction-I see these online for 10,000 plus. I would keep it just as it is because it is a good bus not a trailer queen. This bus gave me such joy on those two trips that I took, that no hotel could give me. To be able to camp at the beach for free was a blast. Lisening to the ocean waves all night and be able to stop and eat where ever is what freedom you can expiriance in a Westfalia camper.

GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE BUS-

1-Westfalia camper-Frig,sink,cabinets,beds-etc Nice and usable see pics, top bunk is white and like new.

2-1980 Vw Vanagon Motor rebuilt and around 30k on it, Strong and fun to drive a rear engine bus, it will do 70mph no problem.

3-Nice color-original Vanilla yellow but now a little brither yellow now. Nice original color inside.

4-Manual-4 speed-Easy to drive and very realiable. Great Trans.

5-Good glass and interior. Passanger seat swivels for more seating space.

6-New fuel pump, battery, new hoses, Many new parts.

7-Lights in/out, clutch, fuel gauge, clock, warning lights, windows, cabinets/storage doors all work.

The Bad- Things that buyer should know.

1- Tent is torn but I found one for as little as 149-new or fix this one with a repair kit. (see pic)

2-1980 westfalia in overall good Cond but not perfect has some dings in/out, rear hatch could use new shocks ($18 *2) because does not fully stay up.. Rear cushion works but it is thiner then original but very usable sine I got foam cushion to make it work good.

3-Speedo just broke at 189k, Radio/cd is missing face for it, Keys work on the front doors but not on the side or back(lacksmith can rekey or just lock the sliding door from inside and exit out th front doors,

4-Paint looks great from distance but upclose you can see that at sometime it was painted cheaply, It does has some minor dings, has surface little rust(see-pic) but it is all sold including floors, prior owner to us had it painted. (see pic)

5-Bus did sit for over a year so it needs a service tune up so you can be sure it is fully reliable and Brakes should have new pads because the front one sometimes make a noise when I drove it.

6-Westfalia camping kit is complete to my knowledge but it does need cleaning, new window drapes old one have some rips, bottom bed cabinet has been cut and some one cheaply replaced the wood(it work all but does not look the best), front driver seat has a tear, wall paper is cracked or missing in some spots.(see pics)

7-Camper Kitchen Stove works etc but everything needs to be cleaned due to it sitting a year. Water tank needs to be cleaned too. Frig,sink, tanks, etc I was not able to check but it worked when parked and all the lights light up on the frig saying water tank is empty and battery is full. Propane tank needs a new knob because it does leek propane from the tank, easy fix for a part from a rv/camping store. Common gasket goes bad. Quated it is a $ 10 part and looks easy to install.

8-Some one broke the driver side mirror so buyer will need to get one, One should get one used for $10-45.

I truly want the buyer to know everything I know, so they will know what to expect but I could have missed something since Im only human. Over all the bus is usable and good for being 34+years old, if you like a bus that you can make it as you want it then this is a great choice. Use it everyday and camp in it for fun. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET BACK TO YOU ASAP. Thank You very much and happy bussing out there
