1985 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon GL Additional Info:
No Reserve auction. High bidder wins this VW so bid to win!
I'm relocating soon and selling this 1985 Vanagon, my VW shop and a fewotherVW's as well. If you're in the market for a clean rust-free passenger Vanagon, here you go. I was originally going to put a Subaru motor in there, but never got around to it. Instead, lots of time and $$ later, here it is. Not perfect, but runs and drives nicely and no rust anywhere. Actually painted due to sunburned paint from the sun here in Florida.
My mechanics at Sunshine Auto Garage put a lot of work, time and too much money into this VW over the last couple years prior to listing (see below list). Recent original color Bronze metallic paint and a clean original interior. Dash is cracked under new cover but original. No odors inside, very clean all around. Gas tank full of rec fuel (real gas, non-ethanol).
There are now 80,002 miles on the working odometer and speedo working fine as well. Gauge photo is 2-weeks old. Florida miles exempt on title due to vehicle age.Ready to go. I'm open to reasonable offers as this VW is also listed locally.My turn-key VW shop Sunshine Auto Garage is also listed for sale here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2252737
