Subject:FS: Vanagon westy AIRCOOLED 83 deluxe LOWER PRICE!
From:Digest Stephen White

hi all,

I have a vanagon westy for sale. Located in Saint louis MO USA.

Pictures at:

http://westfailure.net/gallery/83westy

It turns over & everything, but i cant get it to run :( now, i probably
could if i wanted to work on it, but i've never been a fan of type4
motors, and have other projects that i'd prefer to spend my time on...

Some details:
* its the last year of the aircooled, 83.5 went to the wasserboxer
* tourist delivery, all receipts included. (including 2 toursit delivery
        handbooks!)
* no rust!! spent its life in Florida and New orleans until i got it.
* its the deluxe interior with all the stoves etc. has both tables, ice
        trays, footstool etc. etc.
* 8k miles (or so) on a rebuilt AVP motor, but wont run.... the valves
        were misadjusted horribly (6+ turns of preload) thought that
        would fix it, but it didnt, so i give up.
* Just in case the AVP rebuild is toast i am including an 89k mile vanagon
        engine out of a 80 vanagon. #3 valve doesnt adjust right, so my
        plan was if i couldnt fix the AVP motor to put the AVP heads on
        the known good bottom end/jugs and go go go. (have receipts from
        AVP)
* all emissions equipment is intact & there, many fuel injection
        components (resistor pack etc) recently replaced.
* Low mileage rebuilt transaxle (have receipts)
* have title

The bad stuff:
* Some dents, most are small parking lot stuff, fixable but will take a
        little doing.
* Doesnt run, but can be made to with what is included for very little
        extra $$$

Okay I was asking $1400, and think that is fair, but now that spring is
approaching & i want my garage space, i have decided to lower my price to
$1200 !!!!

Ihave a digital camera so if you have any requests for more pictures let
me know, I'll take them & put them on the website.

Any questions? feel free to ask.

thanks,

Steve
