You are bidding on a 1980 VW Westfalia Vanagon

Ebay won`t let me add the vehicle VIN #, I don`t why?

Here is the VIN # 25A000xxxxx

I collect cars as a hobby, but have just sold the storage building where my collection resides. So I am selling the cars in the building.

This is a 1980 VW Westfalia Vanagon. I`ll start by saying, it is immensely charming and runs great - (my children begged me not to sell it) - but she is not perfect. She is a daily driver with some cosmetic issues. This means that it is being sold at no reserve above the initial price. The first bid eclipses the reserve. After that, the last bidder will win this great piece of car culture.

Mechanical and Cosmetic Condition

Starts up first turn of the key - runs great, idles great
Does not smoke
Shifts gears fine (don`t they all have play in the shifter?)
Stops fine
Steers fine (typical Vanagon)

I have every reason to believe that the camper equipment (range, fridge, sink, etc) work fine. The previous owner used the car for it`s intended purpose.
The radio works well and is an aftermarket unit (here are speakers throughout the cabin
The top pops right up - and locks into place (if you haven`t had the chance to sleep in a Westfalia - you don`t know what you are missing - what a blast)
The tent is in good condition with minor tears (can be taped)
The rear bug screen (snaps in) is present in the van and in great condtion
The picture shows an additional small table that is not included in the sale (sorry)
The tires are in good condition
The rims are aftermarket, I believe, but I am no expert on Westfalia`s. The rims are in good condition too.
The sliding windows slide well and lock well
The carpet is free of rips or tears - but could use a cleaning
I have driven this Van one time since I purchased it - took it home to show the kids for the night. However, she runs very strong and I wouldn`t hesitate to drive her across country. After all, it`s a VW

Issues:
The interior is used and average
The van is 36 years old - please don`t expect a new car or a restored show car
The paint has been resprayed once (as far as I can tell) and is a good ten footer
The van looks better in pictures (again - ten footer)
The van is accident free (as far as I can determine)
There is very minor rust on the vehicle - nothing rusted through
The rear bumper is missing - to make room for an aftermarket exhaust (sounds great)
The odometer works fine and shows 46000 miles - although the Van runs great I can not verify the mileage. It may not be the real mileage. I am not hiding anything - I simply don`t know.
The sliding door needs a handle. Might be in the van, I don't know.
Due to her age she is sold as is - where is. There is no warranty implied or expressed. I encourage inspections and make the Van available during business hours (8am to 4pm) five days a week. We have a lift also - and am happy to put her in the air for you.
