1984 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon BUS Additional Info:
OVERALL DESCRIPTION: Here's a Euro Style build you don't see here in the US. It's an 84 VW tin top with heavy duty hardware, built-in solar and 110v outlets. It's been converted for camping and adventure, complete with a bike rack. I've added aftermarket parts from Rocky Mountain Westy and a GMB Mounting system imported from Germany. The stock 1.9l engine and clutch were apparently replaced over 85k miles ago per the prior owner and it runs solid and reliable. The interior was done in gray, which compliments the new flooring. The engine drips oil a few times after driving it then stops, which is common with VW's. It doesn't smoke at idle or while driving. It passed smog on 9/30/19 so that should give you a piece of mind. It's Turn Key and ready to roll out. Pink Slip in hand and no lien holds. I encourage you to contact me first via email or phone with any questions before committing to this purchase. I have done my best to describe the vehicle and highlighted some key issues below. It's not a body-off frame restoration. I can certainly send you more photos, or do a video walk around and start up if you are a serious buyer.

The undercarriage, shocks, struts and drum brakes appear to be original. There's surface rust on the undercarriage and some black high heated paint was used on the undercarriage and drum brakes for cosmetic reasons. Not to purposely hide any surface rust. One should expect surface rust on a vehicle that's over 30 years old unless its an off-frame restoration project. The frame is solid with no rust holes or spots that would compromise the integrity of the frame or vehicle. THINGS THAT NEED ATTENTION:- There's a slow oil drip after driving and parking the vehicle. It will typically drip 2-5 times after you park it. VW's are notorious for oil leaks. My mechanic power-washed the motor and could not locate the leak without having to inspect the heads. Sorry, I didn't option for that.- The motor frame rattles a bit when its fully warmed up. I was told that motor mounts need to be tightened down.- The ignition switch is temperamental at time when turning the key.- The VDO volt meter (battery) is not connected and located to the left of the twin gauges (Oil and Water) that do work. - The horn flickers on from time to time. It started after the aftermarket LED headlights were installed.- The windshield wipers work, but they were disconnected because I only drove the vehicle in the Spring and Fall seasons. No A/C or Power Steering. - The odometer doesn't work. - The driver's side trucker mirror has a hairline crack. - The driver's side seatbelt latches, but you need to press hard to release it. - The roof interior install did not come out flush. The first two panel from the rear were flush, but as I worked my way to the front, I realized the roof became narrower.- It has a stock motor, so don't expect to lead the pack. Many van owners option to swap out the motor for a Subaru conversion engine.
