I have two Vanagon Westfalias that I need to move quickly.  Prices greatly
reduced.

One is an '85, full GL camper, good condition inside and out.  The previous
owner put a Ford engine in it using a flywheel adaptor plate, and that
engine is now smoking.  Best bet is to put a wasserboxer back in it.
Converting it back would be easy if you have a complete engine (with fuel
injection, exhaust, etc).  Camper interior is in very good shape. GL velour
interior.  Rear mattress is mismatched for the rest of the vehicle but
functional. Body is very nice.  White. This camper would probably be worth
about $4000 with a good engine.  I'm asking $850, and will even cover towing
up to the first 100 miles.

The second is a parts camper, '81.  Good body except windshield. Good Westy
interior (fridge,sink, stove, sofabed, panels, etc are all there and in good
cosmetic condition; no tables, upper bunk, or rear mattress).  No poptop,
engine, or trans.  $200.  Please do not ask me to part it out, I will only
sell the whole vehicle because I need the space.

Located about an hour from Philadelphia.  If interested please act soon.
Otherwise I plan to donate the first camper to charity, within two weeks,
because I need to move it off of the lot that it's on.  I am hesitating to
donate it because they would almost certainly sell it to a junkyard for
salvage value (since it's a non-runner), which would be a real shame because
it is in much too good condition to be taken off the road.  (On the other
hand the tax deduction would be worth about the same $850 to me so from my
perspective it's a wash.)
