 Great aircooled Vanagon Westfalia

These great cars are getting harder and harder to find. Here's your chance to become a member of an exclusive community!

Recently on a 10472miles roadtrip all across the states this great little camper has seen almost any corner and every hill of the country!

If it has always been your dream to take a roadtrip to all the national parks all over the country, this is the perfect mini RV for you. Fit in any parking spot and have your house with you, nice little fridge and sink and plenty of cabinets to store all your camping needs! And the best you can even sleep four adults in two seperate beds!

But I'm sure if you're reading this you already know all about the westys ;) so lets talk about this one!

-offer includes an impeccable La-Z-Boy recliner chair super comfortable

The bads:

-large temperature changes over the day can cause tank to draw a vacuum which ocasionaly requires you to open the gascap before the first start of the day
-no aircooled VW should be driven faster then 65mph!
-I replaced the original 30 years old mattress for the top bed with a new memory foam mattress  (kept the westy covers)
-the leg for the front table is missing
-the left burner of the stove is not working, maybe easy maybe not, I only needed one so I never found out ;)
-the fridge is nice to have but the don't get really cold like all westys
-sliding window lock on the right side doesn't lock
-nickel-sized rusthole under windshield on the right side
-pop-top canvas has a rip, which is taped up
-as I wrote in the goods she is a Florida car, but the turnside is that the humidity loosened parts of the paper roofceiling, I used to have a flag pinned on the roof to cover it up, but If you're more ambitious this should be one of those DIY things ;)
-crack in the front bumper plastic edge
-like all old cars they require alot of attention and care, but they are unique little cars and well wort your while!




I'm not making a living selling Vanagons, so this one here will be alot cheaper then any of the professional dealer ones like from GoWesty, but I took good care of her for the short time I had the pleasure to own a real Westy and am proud to have toured the states in a real classic, but all good things must come to an end, so this is your opportunity to buy a roadtrip-tested Westy and do that trip of a lifetime you always wanted, or simply use her for the weekend camping trip, no matter your plans there's no better car for them then the great Vanagon Westfalia!
Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and special picture requests, even a roadtrip-report ;)

Thanks for reading and happy bidding!



btw: on the rockerpanel picture the little colourful little things are magnets to prove that there is no body fill anywhere
and I hope you understand that I had to put a reserve price to my absolute minimum, but please feel free to bid, you might be eligible for a second chance offer if she doesn't sell ;)
