'87 Vanagon GL for sale, loaded, Wolfram Gray, auto, A/C,
pwin, pdl, heated pmirr, everything works.

Nice enough 7 passenger gray velour interior, no rips or tears,
could use a good cleaning. Rear seat folds into weekender bed,
height adjustable front armrests.

105k miles currently, new head gaskets, water pump, all FI hose,
motor mounts, some exhaust parts, a few coolant hoses, rotors,
pads, drums, shoes when I bought it at 85k.

Runs and drives strong enough. no leaks, no drips, orange coolant
stays right where it should.  Needs tailpipe, and will need muffler
within a year.

Body with dents and dings all over, pretty good crease to left rear
corner and left rear bumper. Trivial (much less than WV average) seam
rust where body is dented and on seam below drivers door, but OK
for an '87. Body condition is worst part of this Vanagon. A good beater
to drive or a great parts van to keep something else running.

Kelley online says $2500 in fair condition, which is about where this
thing is, asking $1900 with newish 27x8.5R14 Firestones or a bit less
without on crap to roll you home.  Brand new WV safety inspection,
ready to drive anywhere, worth the asking for the engine and the
auto tranny alone.  Located in Morgantown, WV, about 1.5 hours
from Pittsburg, 3 from DC or Baltimore.

Will trade for a nice clean rustfree Bus camper body '72-'79 with blown
engine or tranny of equal value.  Must be manual tranny, prefer full
Westy '76-'78 but will consider hightop Adventurer or Safare, only
condition of body important, engine or tranny can be blown or not
even present.
