1982 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Westfalia Description

Nothing says "honey, we need to sell the VW" like "I'm pregnant".
We thought this would be a fun, adventurous van to tramp around in. Instead, I'm having a kid.
This vehicle Canadian and previous owner had lots of work done it and the receipts to show it, including gas tank (5/2016) transmission (4/2016) dual carburetors (3/2016), double battery system (2011) and a new 2.0L engine (2009).
The mileage and speedometer are in metric, and it has 281,00 km, which comes out to about 168,600 miles. (Though not sure how many on the new engine.)
This van is a beauty!
Custom paint job really stands out, and strangers may want to drag race you at stop lights. Could make a cameo in the upcoming Fast/Furious installment (Vin Diesel, I'm awaiting your call).
Dual carb engine gives it more oomph than the standard air-cooled Westies.
Canvas is good, interior is nearly immaculate and it all has a cool blue color that matches the exterior. Windows are tinted all around.
Camping gear -stove, fridge- work well.
It has a bunch of other gadgets that I sadly haven't even gotten to explore, like the interior heater and dual battery system.
In addition to work from the previous owner and have had some minor work done since getting it (fuel pump connection replaced, heater box replaced, propane tank removed.)
Like most 1982 Vanagons, this one has some minor things that you may or may not want/need to address -blower motor fan, faulty gas tank gauge, minor seam rust, etc etc- the things you should expect from a 34 year old vehicle!
Feel free to call, text or email with questions.
Thank you and happy bidding!
