'81 Vanagon, 130k original miles, 35k on rebuilt engine, runs strong
FS: '82 Vanagon, air-cooled 2.0 liter engine; 135k original miles, 33k on rebuilt engine. Strong-running engine -- loves the freeway! All maintenance records. Just smogged. Converted from 8-passenger van to sleeper van for two and-or big cargo space for surfer or commercial hauler. Stick shift, bench-style front seat. Located in San Francisco.
Negatives:
--New clutch only 10,000 miles ago but clutch chatter can occur when starting-out on uphill grade. A reliable mechanic says it's due to clutch installer's failure to resurface the flywheel when new clutch was installed. Otherwise clutch/shifting functions are excellent.
--Transaxle is original, some whine perceptible at low speeds.
--Gas gauge unreliable.
--Body in decent shape but some rust spots in the paint.
Selling because bought an air-cooled '82 Westphalia camper van, a virtual twin, so this one has got to go.
