Hello -

I am selling a very rare center (middle) swiveling
seat for an '85 Westfalia.  I searched the archives
and found that Ron Salmon from the Bus Depot was
selling one of these back in June of '99.  I'll just
copy his description since it fits mine perfectly:

"...there was an actual optional Westfalia seat for
that year. It is a very rare item, having been a
rather expensive option at the time... It snaps right
into the seat tracks under the carpet (found on most
Westies through somewhere around '87).  It swivels 360
degrees, just like the front seats, and has a storage
compartment below it.  The seat is tan velour (same as
used on the '85-87 range GL Westies), but since the
seat tracks on it are standard Vanagon, any seat could
be substituted."  (The only thing Ron didn't mention
in this description is the seatbelt.)

This seat is in EXCELLENT condition.  I'm not even
sure if it's ever been used.  I'm the third owner of
the van and, as far as I know, everyone that's had the
van has just kept the seat in storage.

For some frame of reference on price: Ron was selling
his seat for $250 plus shipping.  Therefore, my price
is $250 -or best offer- (because it is such a rare
item).  I would REALLY rather not ship this thing as
it is seriously heavy (and very awkward because the
bottom is so much heavier than the top).  If someone
is
really desparate to have it, I suppose we could
figure out what the shipping options are (ship by
freight?  I've never done that before..), but it would
be great to sell it to someone in the area/region who
can pick it up or meet me somewhere.  I live in
Minneapolis, MN, and frequently travel to Madison, WI.

Feel free to email with any questions.  Figured I'd
start with the list and if the seat doesn't sell here
I'll post it on eBay.

Thanks!

JJ
'85 Westy (no name yet)
