SOLD
With much hesitation I am listing my Westy up for sale. I love this van, and it has done multiple trips and even DD it for about 6 months without any problems. I bought this van sight unseen, flew to NY and drove it back all the way to NC without a hickup. Just turn key and drive away. While getting great gas mileage.
Only reason I'm selling is b/c I am about to start back up with school full time, and don't think I'll have a chance to do any trips for a few years, and don't want it sitting the whole time. I know once I get in it and take a trip off to see family in Texas, or Central Florida I'll probably change my mind though. :evil:evil
Located in North Florida
Everything works. Doors open, blinkers blink, seats rotate, fridge cools, stove burns, radio rocks, top pops, etc....
Have a book of receipts with over $15,000 worth of add-on, turning this thing into a lean, mean, gas-sipping, hippy panty dropping, touring machine.
Goodies:
1987 VW Vanagon with Westfalia package. 2 beds, stove, sink, closet, cabinets, sunroof, etc....
107k miles on van. Engine swap was done just shy of 100k.
Bostig engine conversion $$$$$
Aftermarket wheels and tires with full size spare. (Even if you don't like the wheels, they are discontinued version, and extremely sought after by vananuts.)
Recently new Pop-top canvas
Non A/C van, so more storage room, and less headaches
Stainless steel coolant lines ($290)
Aftermarket Kicker stereo components ($1500)
Dual optima battery set-up.
New Pop-top fabric with side windows
Yakima roof rack system ($490)
Yakima roof-top box ($400)
New fridge w/freezer compartment to replace old technology. Can freeze popsicles ($500)
Stove works
Propane tank works
Have all table tops and jumper seat
Rear airride bags on back springs to compensate for extra weight
Newly installed Burley heavy duty hitch. ($480) Specially made for tossing a dirt bike on the bike. Carried my XR on a two week trip from NC, down the coast to central Florida, then back up.
etc.......
New in box items waiting to be installed:
Jack Bombay top shocks ($95)
Bostig High Capacity Oil Pan ($450)
125w Solar panel, with Sunforce Charger, 30ft of cable with connectors (Will enable multiple days off grid while running fridge, radio, charging stuff, etc....)
Go Westy Sink kit
This isn't a project Westy that needs work to run. This van is fully functional and ready to go. I bought these items b/c I planned on traveling/living in this thing. Have decided to go back to school though, so instead of sitting, I'm offering it to another traveler.
I'll keep adding once I break out the receipt book, and remember everything done.
Bad:
1) Fill tube from gas tank has a small crack, (common problem), doesn't pose a problem unless you fill completely to the top, I usually stop 1/2 gal short of filling it up and it won't leak.
2) Appears it was in a minor accident at one point, and the back hatch has a couple spots where the filler has cracked.
3) Has a small amount of the typical seem rust. No cancer, just the small seem rust that any Vanagon owner has to deal with constantly. You can pick it away, rust convert it, and it will come back, just one of those things about a vanagon. No vanagon is truly rust free. When I had the fridge out, I checked the whole driver side wall and no rust issue was there.
Before roof rack
Chillin' in Florida
Loaded up somewhere in South Carolina
Interior pics were taken with phone, hence the lower quality and haze.
