1982 Diesel Westfalia with 83,541 original miles. It has a water-cooled engine and would be a great candidate for a BIODIESEL conversion. This is a California Westy with NO RUST and ORIGINAL PAINT. The body and interior are very clean. 

The previous owners purchased a VW crated factory re-manufactured engine which was installed, at about 80K
(see photos).  They mentioned that the original engine over-heated on a trip and the van was towed to a VW dealership where the re-manufactured engine was purchased and installed.

It also has many new parts including...

A Brand New 3 Vent Canvas and poptop seals from GO WESTY, new exhaust, new 8 ply tires, new brakes, new glow plugs, new Bosch Alternator,  a new Interstate battery, new in tank water/sink pump from GO WESTY, new outlet covers, new bumper end caps, and new Blaupunkt CD player with IPOD/MP3 connection and remote.  Everything works including the clock! It also has two new retractable cup holders.

This Westy has all the curtains including the privacy curtain and the rear bug screen.  It also has both tables and comes with a very cool retractable awning (see photo) that is mounted on the gutter rail over the slider door. This unit is removable.

This Westy is in GREAT SHAPE and ready to drive anywhere!


By The Way: The AutoCheck report is inaccurate. The Westfalia's Vehicle History report is available through CarFax.

Questions and answers about this item
  
 Q: Which diesel motor is in the bus...the 1.6 litre that was made in the '80s or the newer 1.9 TDI? If it's the 1.6 litre, does it have the revving issues that those engines are known for? (i.e. you can't go... Continue reading
A: That's correct. However you can install a transmission form an air-cooled Vanagon to increase top speed on the highway.

 Q: Hi, Do I understand correctly that there is only 3500 miles on the re manufactured diesel engine? Can I ask why you are giving it up? Any rust in the undercarriage. Does it still have overheating issues- you were concerned... Continue reading
A: This is my buddy's van. He is selling it because his wife just had their 3rd child and he needs to take time off work to be with her and the other 2 children. He will lose about 2 month's pay... hence selling his van.

 Q: Hello- is this van registered in Calif. at this time and will it pass smog in Calif. Thank You, Bill in Vegas
A: The Diesel Westy was purchased on a Lien sale. The title is clean... no salvaged. It was registered in CA and will have to be re-registered. It is a diesel so it is exempt from smog in CA.

 Q: Could I drive this from Davis to southern CA with no problems or does it need work. Are you interested in trading for a 03 Honda Civic?
A: Yes, you could drive it to SoCal without any trouble... as long as you don't over-rev the engine. Sorry.. no trades. :-)

 Q: Is the vin# correct in the add? Is there a spare tire? If it has one where is it stored? I am not up on van so new, I had a 76. Thanks Leon
A: Hello: Yes, the VIN is correct for this van. The van does has a spare tire. It is stored in a compartment up under the front bumper. This is a very cherry van. It's hard not to like it. :-)
