Missed up the 83 is air cooled and 85 water cooled
I also bought the plans for the Phonix

Phoenix expands tent-trailer style into a large camper. It was featured in
Popular Mechanics and Mechanix Illustrated magazines. It also appeared in
the movie Total Recall. Plans include 11 large drawings and a
photo-illustrated
book.

I got them for $85 plus shipping? from rqriley's web site
would send pic's but don't know if it's allowed and not sure how except as
attachment, but because of my physical and money woes it probably will never
get done, so I'm selling them too.

email me if you want to see pic's of vans 83 (body in great shape) or 85 or
what the Phoenix looks like.
