Here's three possible candidates for you.

1.      83 Westy, 2.1 waterboxer block & heads ( I think, was just told this
so far ) with 1.9 
( stock ) fuel and cooling system. Full westy kitchen. Tent is flawless,
best I've ever seen.    Overall, 'not bad' . under $ 6K.

2.    this one is hot to be sold.  86 white, syncro westy, 93 2.2 subaru
engine conversion by me, brand new rebuilt transmission, knarly new BFG
tires, set of 5, on 5 Passat 15 inch rims.  Basically good condition
overall, no body rust, minor dings touched up, full west kitchen, south
African headlights and grill.  Front and rear disc brake parts available.
Roof rack.  Locking rear diff.  Lots of great things about this syncro
westy, soob engine runs great, many new parts there too.  It's over 25K
though, like 26.5. 

3.    this one, pretty special. Already two people have their eye on it.  85
hi top Adventurewagen.  Full deluxe camper interior with a furnace even. All
original. Inside looks like it's never been eaten in, smoked in, or kids or
pets, like near new.  Nice tangerine color.  Perfect body. Looks really
awesome. These AW's are the quietest vanagon you'll ever be in too.  I dig
them.  Manual trans 4 speed.   Power steering  Behr *front*  AC in the dash
( ! ) ..Running tired 1.9 wbxr now, plans are for a 2.1, a subaru 2.2, a
subaru 2.7 six cylinder XT - 6 engine  ( already have the engine and fuel
sys. parts ) or a 1.9 Turbo diesel engine. With a good engine conversion
.....around, or up to $ 15K.  I'm not certain it's really for sale.  But
someone is going to get it.  Engine conversion or upgrade isn't started yet.
'might' be available as is for much  less that that big number.....i have to
check with two people to let it go.  One of them is half partners on it, but
he already has one, and I want him to keep that one and we sell this one.
The other person is a relative and it might be just right for him.
Funny....i get these really special extra nice condition ones and I don't
want to sell them much - LOL !
