Subject:Excellent Condition 85 Westy FS in NJ $5000

I just got an 85 Westy 4 speed manual transmission for sale and it is in
excellent condition.  It is a light tan color on the outside and brown
velour interior.  It has only 85k original miles on it and has been
garage kept for the last 17 years of it's life.  No rust that I can find
anywhere on it.  The paint is in excellent condition with only one small
scratch that I put on it myself :( yesterday but it didn't go down to
the metal.  Pop top looks almost new inside and out and the interior
seats are like new as well.  The folks had seat covers on every seat and
carpet laid down over the original carpet.  Pull up cheap carpet and
seat cover and underneath is like new carpet and seats!  This is one of
the nicest condition 85 Westys I have ever seen and I have seen and
owned a few over the years.

The engine runs well and has a new muffler and tailpipe.  I would do a
complete brake and cooling system inspection before selling it to
anyone.  The van comes with the seat tracks installed for either the two
person bench or the single person seat near the stove/fridge cabinet.
Right now the van has the rare removable single seat that slides on the
seat tracks and I would sell that will the van.  Also there is a second
battery and a large tent (looks like it could be a bus add-a-room tent)
that would come with the van as well.

I am asking $5000 firm for this van.  If you are interested please email
me about it.  I can forward pictures.  I am waiting to get the title
from NJ DMV so that will take a couple of weeks but during that time I
could do the inspections on the van and have it ready for a serious
buyer.  Let me know if you are interested.  I am located in Millville,
NJ 08332 if you want to come and take a look at the van.
