Vanagon details:

The good:
2.1 waterboxer motor with 4spd
rebuilt heads installed at Tassis about a year ago.
Also installed exhaust at same time.
Nice interior including jump Wolfsburg jump seats behind front  seats.
Have all the brackets and seatbelts to install.  Have large  table and two
mounting brackets. Rear bench seat and rear trunk pad in very  good shape.  All
AC installed and working, just needs to be  recharged.  two new front tires.
 has fiberglass bumpers and body  kit.
Interior is gray and captain seats are in great shape.
Power windows and doorlocks via the alarm system I had installed

The bad:
Clutch just completely burned out
3rd gear syncro shot in tranny
Engine runs strong but idling rough.  needs tuneup
usually service spotting around some of the windows
recently backed into something so there are a few crack in the rear
fiberglass bumper.

There are over 300k miles on the van but the motor and tranny are not
original.  As I stated, the engine still runs strong and was cruising at  75-80
mph on the freeway without a problem until the clutch burned out.   The
transmission and clutch will need to be replaced.  I could not get  the cruise
control to work either.

The van needs someone with time, tools and access to parts to her running
good again.

I am not sure what a fair price is so I am open to offers and I am  looking
for an economy car so I am open to partial or full trades.

I am motivated to move the van quickly so I would like to get rid of it
this by the end of this weekend.  I am located in Fremont, CA and only  want
to deal with local people.  You will have to come to my house to  look at the
van.  It is a great candidate for a fix er upper.
