1982 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Description

THIS BUS HAS VDO CYLINDER HEAD TEMP, OIL TEMP AND TACHOMETER GAUGES AND HIGH POWERED H4 HEADLIGHTS. IT LOOKS GREAT FROM ACROSS THE STREET OR AT NIGHT. THE STEREO DOESN'T WORK BUT A PHONE AND BLUETOOTH SPEAKER DO AND THE LIGHTER SOCKET WITH A MULTIPLIER WILL KEEP EVERYTHING CHARGED. THERE IS LITTLE TYPICAL RUST AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES AND THE SLIDING DOOR AND LEFT REAR COULD USE A LITTLE BODY WORK AND A PROPER PAINT JOB WOULD BE NICE. THE HEAT AND DEFROST SEEM TO WORK IN THE SUMMER AND THE FAN MOTOR SHOULD BE REPLACED. I JUST CHANGED THE OIL AND PLUGS AS MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING TO TAKE THIS AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR A MONTH OR SO. HER PLANS CHANGED SO THE BUS IS READY TO ROLL. DRIVE IT DAILY, USE IT FOR CAMPING AND MUSIC FESTIVALS AS IS OR FIX IT UP. THE ENGINE, TRANS, BRAKES AND TIRES ARE READY TO GO. I WAS JUST GOING TO LET MY DAUGHTER GO ON A 8K MILE TRIP. HAPPY BIDDING! STAY HEALTHY! USE THIS TO SOCIAL DISTANCE! PEACE, LOVE, ROCK AND ROLL!THIS WAS MY WEST COAST BUS. WE KEPT A COUPLE LONG BOARDS IN IT TO SURF SAN ONOFRE AND ENJOYED DEAD CONCERTS. PUT A NEW 3 WINDOW TENT IN IT AND FRESH FUEL TANKS LINES AND BRAKES. HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT IN CALI FOR NEAR 10K USING GERMAN PARTS AND HAVE 2 OIL COOLERS ONE WITH A FAN. THE AUTO TRANS WAS REBUILT TOO FOR 2k. THIS VAN IS BACK ON THE EAST COAST AND MY WIFE DAUGHTER AND I TOOK IT TO NJ, NY AND CT ON 2 TRIPS THIS SPRING TO HIKE THE AT. THIS IS THE LAST OF THE AIR COOLED AND HAS A STRONG ENGINE AND AUTO TRANS. I PAINTED IT YEARS AGO WITH SPRAY CANS CAUSE I COULDN'T WAIT FOR MAACO. IF I DON'T SELL IT NOW I WILL SHIP IT TO MAUI FOR SURF TRIPS THERE. IT HAS A FRESH OIL CHANGE IS READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. MY SON BUGGERED UP THE SLIDING DOOR TURNING RIGHT IN A PARKING LOT NOT KNOWING THAT A CAR PARKED NEXT TO HIM. IT STILL WORKS. THE STOVE WORKS GREAT, I HAVE NEVER TRIED THE FRIDGE. THE BUS IS LOCATED IN SC JUST SOUTH OF CHARLOTTE NC. COME DRIVE IT HOME OR I WILL HELP SHIP. I HAVE THIS BUS INSURED FOR 15K AND HAVE INVESTED MORE THAN THAT IN IT. I HAVE TOO MANY VEHICLES TO FIX THIS ONE UP TO SELL SO HERE IS YOU CHANCE TO GET A GOOD RUNNING BUS TO FIX UP AS YOU CHOOSE OR NOT. PAT

WOW! THE AUCTION JUST STARTED AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET OUR BUS. I AM HAPPY FOR WHOEVER WINS THIS AUCTION AND HOPE THEY WILL ENJOY IT AS MY FAMILY HAS. THE FOUR OF US SLEPT IN IT THE NIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER CLIMBING HALF DOME IN YOSEMITE. MY WIFE AND I WENT TO SEE THE GRATEFUL DEAD IN PALO ALTO FOR 2 NIGHTS IN THIS VAN BEFORE THE ENGINE AND TRANS WERE REBUILT THEN TOOK OUR OTHER BUS ALSO LISTED HERE TO CHICAGO FOR THEIR LAST 3 SHOWS. I HAVE DRIVEN IT FROM COAST TO COAST AND BACK AND FROM THE CAROLINA TO CONNECTICUT LOTS OF MEMORIES AND IT LOOKS GOOD IN MY DRIVEWAY TOO. I REALLY THOUGHT EACH OF MY KIDS WOULD GET ONE OF MY BUSES BUT THEN I THOUGHT I MIGHT GET ONE OF MY DADS TOO. THE ONLY REASON I'M SELLING IT IS I'M CLOSE TO RETIREMENT AND HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF. MY WIFE AND I PLAN TO LIVE IN OUR MOTORHOME AND ON OUR BOAT AND WITH MOTORCYCLES AND AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VAN IN COLORADO IT IS JUST NOT PRACTICAL TO HAVE SO MANY VEHICLES. THIS WOULD WORK WELL IN MAUI FOR SURF TRIPS BUT FOR AS OFTEN AS I DO THAT I CAN RENT AS I HAVE IN THE PAST. SORRY TO RAMBLE ON (THANKS LED ZEPPELIN) BUT I AM A BIT SENTIMENTAL TO SEE THIS BUS GO. IT HAS BEEN PART OF OUR FAMILY FOR YEARS AND WE WILL MISS HER. IN-A GADDA-DA-VIDA-BABY
