I got the following from Mark Roser, who is not currently on the list. He needs to sell his '84 GL. They live in Central Connecticut, and have a new baby so travelling to deliver it is not practical. Here's the specs. Contact him - NOT ME - at conceptgeneration@earthlink.net! 1984 Vanagon GL 2 Tone Blue Exterior, Blue Tweed Interior 195,000 Miles 4 speed Manual 18,000 on a Boston Bob's rebuilt engine (Full engine swap) I really want the van to go to someone who will keep it and appreciate it. We inherited the van from a friend's dad (the original owner) after he passed away about four years ago and did the engine. The van runs very good and has been super reliable for us. Here are the current to-do's for the van: The O2 sensor light is on, sensor needs to be replaced or a loose wire? The rear exhaust manifold has a cracked weld where it meets the muffler pipe and needs to be replaced The sliding door has some slight body ripples and paint scratches and could be repaired but isn't too bad One wheel cover is missing The passenger side mirror is droopy The radio and antenna needs to be replaced The ash tray is cracked That's all that I can think of. The car uses about 1 quart of oil between changes but runs very smoothly and strongly - Bob did a great job The transmission and brakes are all very smooth. The van does not have AC. Tires are all season BF Goodrich with about 8-10 / 32nd's remaining and some mild dry cracking started. Can keep using, but need updating within a year depending upon use. It has been maintained by a local mechanic in Willimantic, CT. He is familiar with the van and would be happy to provide a reference. He has done the tuning, gas tank, muffler, and some of the ignition parts (to solve a rough idle). I can send pictures if necessary but don't have them ready now. I have invested about $3,700k for the engine and and $2k in miscellaneous stuff over the past 4 years. Hoping to get $1,600 +, but will take the best offer to a good home.
