VW Vanagon Westfalia 1981

1981 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Westfalia Description

I am selling my 1981 Westfalia . It was purchased about 2 years ago in Washington state. This has been a super fun surf and adventure camper for me but I recently moved to Brooklyn, NY and don’t have the means to keep it in the city. It starts and runs very smooth, I’d have to say it is so smooth it almost doesn't even feel like a VW. The body is extremely clean for the year. Its never been wrecked and is still in its factory original paint. As this has lived mostly on the west coast it has almost no rust. One key works in all the doors. Overall this is a very clean, well cared for Westfalia. And the fact that its an automatic I kinda feel is pretty rare. Most I see are manual transmission. She’s in excellent shape and has the following upgrades:

Replaced the fuel lines recently

Tune up service with replaced air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, ignition wire set, and distributor cap.

New Tires

New Cat. Convertor and all new gaskets

New engine cover insulation installed

Oil Changed this summer

New Brake, Master Cylinder, and Vacuum Booster

New Alternator Belt

New Side View Mirrors

New CD/Radio installed

New Battery

New Alternator

New Wiper Blades

*receipts have been filed and kept for all of the above

It is equipped with all the standard Westfalia gear, stov, fridg, upper and lower beds. Canvas is in good shape and was bleached and cleaned at the start of the summer. The upper bunk has been aired out and cleaned.Front seats swivel around. The last time I had her tuned up my mechanic mentioned a hole in the muffler so that will need to be replaced soon. Other than that this van is turn key and ready to roll!The odometer shows 88,000 miles, The speedo isn't accurate so Imnot sure on the actual mileage, although engine was looked at by 2 mechanics when I purchased her and is in very good shape.It featuresa 2.0L fuel injected air cooled engine andautomatic transmission.

Comes with NYS Certificate of Title and Inspection.

Remember you are bidding with full intentions of purchasing this vehicle. I can help a buyer find a shipping company or free pickup in Brooklyn, NY. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs associated with the transport of this vehicle . Winner of this auction a $1,500 deposit is required within 24 hrs of auction close. And full payment within 3 days of auction close via bank wire, cash, PayPal, or Venmo.

If you have questions on the title please contact me. Apparently in 1995 the van was stolen in California and a few months later was recovered . The insurance company had paid the claim on the van . So at that point a salvage brand on the title happened. There is a Vin number plate in the door jam issued by California . Although the salvage brand was not on the Washington state title or my NY state title.
