Hello everyone,

I am thinking about selling my 81' vanagon and would like to see what
kind of offers that I might get for it.
Vitals:
     School bus yellow (fresh paint job).
     1981 vanagon passenger van made for traveling
         -Storage and sleeping.
     Wooden bumpers and no grill.
     179,000 miles.
Maintenance history:
     around 171,000 new clutch and cv joints either worked on or
replaced.
     172,000 new pistons and rings installed.
     175,000 new front callipers, rotters, and some lines on the front
     brakes.
     soon to have new fuel pump, fuel lines, weber dual 34s, 009
     distributor with compu-fire ignition.
     Rust removed on 90% of the body and fresh paint.
Known problems:
     no EGR valve
     no cat
     outer housing of heat exchangers are rusted through.
     No Heat!
     no radio
Since I have owned the van at around 173,000 miles, the only problems
that I have had that have left me at the side of the road is point
failure.  It consumes very little oil, maybe a 1/3 of a quart in 3,000
miles and drips about three drops a night.  Like I said, I am thinking
about selling it, if you have an offer or are up on the going prices on
vw's please get back to me with a price.
Thank you,

Eggert
