Subject:FS: 83.5 Westy in Tucson
From:Geo & Kathleen Hahn
Date:Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:15:52 -0700

I have good friends here in Tucson who have decided to sell their 83.5
Westy.  They have purchased a big fifth wheel so the Westy no longer
fits their plans.  I have traveled and camped with them and always
thought this was a very nice example of the early water-cooled
Campmobile.  Here is a pic of it from a trip to Organ Pipe National
Monument a couple of years ago:

They have seen much of the western US and Canada in this vehicle -- when
he told me he was selling he
did it by email because he couldn't tell me to my face.

He will be advertising it locally for more and then go to eBay or Samba
with it, but says right now he "would take $6,000 for a quick easy deal".

Here, in his own words, [and some of my words] are the particulars:

Phone:  (520) 444-6261 [ask for Kent]

Email:  jakewick@yahoo.com <mailto:jakewick@yahoo.com>

131,277 miles on it

Shack]

            2 small dents - corner of rear (tail) door, rear passenger
wheel well

            Metal clips around top so gap between rubber seal and top (I
have that sealed so no leaks)

            Some minor paint chips on front

Heads rebuilt, new piston rings, clutch rebuilt at 82,400

85,000 new muffler; fuel lines replaced

93,000 new A/C compressor [A/C works]

100,000 clutch slave cylinder replaced

            [all the above work was done by the same mechanic I use]
