vanagon crazies




so these guys out in the country somewhere are clearly out of their collective minds, they keep posting these fields diamonds, and more importantly they like to keep the prices nice and high, and i have to ask who, who? who, would buy a piece of crap like this? look at the engine, i think it's just thrown on the ground in the engine compartment. did the van pull that boat to the field?
is someone living in there? some crazy barefoot field mechanic, oh, yeah, i think, it runs, give it some gas, feather it.
and yes, they sugest it might need a new paint job and some cleaning, CRAZY.

1980 VW Vanagon Westfalia, A unique unit! Previously Aircooled, but converted to Subaru EA71? Liquid-Cooled POWER... Has been sitting dormant for a while, but ran and drove well before parking it. 59K miles indicated, 4 speed, Towing-Package, Oven, Range, Fridge, Sink, Etc. Needs a decent paintjob, and some interior cleaning. Has been sitting for a while, as evidenced by the "northwest-green-slime effect". Kind of a 'Diamond in the Rough'

the donovan death vehicle



i like this ad for one reason, Andy says at the end of this paragraph that he doesn't care if you work on the van in the driveway, and he might help, i want to go down there with a back pack, buy the van, move in, live in his drive way and work on the van, maybe bring a couple of chickens and some toothless friends. Andy!

MELLOW YELLOW ford econoline van I don't know what is wrong with it but it does not want to start the engine seems good and it ran last fall but I don't want to work on it. This girl will need some tlc on the inside due to the nature of old plywood and particle board but other than that the inside is in great shape. So if you have the ability to cut and glue or tack nail your own bench seats and a little kitchenette then this is for you. Nothing for $500 is going to be perfect but that is why it's $500. I don't care if you want to tinker with it in the driveway, I may even help. Call ANDY 360-943-7333

P.S Donovan is funny because, it's a van, and his song, get it? laugh out loud.
and he might be dead inside somewhere.

Selling this project to someone that will give this one a good home. The motor has never received any mileage since it was new years ago. It gets started regularly and run up to temperature. This splitty has been stored inside for 14 years. I can send pictures if necessary however I feel serious inquires will want to see this one in person to really have a good look. This one is very straight and an easy one to finish with some body work needed in the usual rust spots. Again you have to see it. The only tough part is I don't have all the original Westie interior. This is a minor detail depending on your goal with this project. keywords: VW, volkswagen, bus, westfalia, split, kombi, van, westy, air cooled. 253-306-4296 **The full length rack has been traded for a half rack so that the sub hatch can be used.

1961 ford van pick up hybrid thing


A right if i didn't have kids, or a life or a wife, i'd buy this van and live in Toby's back yard in Santa Cruz, get all burly and aggro- start drinking beer with twinkies, get some fishing gear, put a huge cooler in the back, and sit on the tailgate and comment on other people's lives.
