Description
1987 VW Vanagon Project it is a Wolfsburg Limited Edition, grey in color, with a 2.1L engine that was rebuilt at 187000+ miles. The speedometer stopped working around 187000 and was fixed a couple of months after the engine was rebuilt. The mileage on the van is now 220297.
The vanagon is an automatic transmission with power windows, door locks and mirrors (the electrical needs to be looked at). It is a Weekender Package which consists of front bucket captain seats, two rear facing bucket seats (which are removable), fold down table, rear bench seat that folds down into a bed and privacy curtains. It has aluminum allow wheels (14x6) with LT195/75 R14 tires.
My Father-in-Law bought the van new and it was passed on to us as our family grew. We have most of the paperwork back to the original receipt. The vanagon is running but has an electrical issue that will kill a battery.
It also has some dings on the body with a little rust. The vanagon had an air conditioner unit in it but was not kept charged and due to the age and dryness the part that ran the length of the van inside fell (we still have all the parts to restore it). The vanagon was stored for 6 years and we decided to try one more time to get it back on the road.
But after other issues in taking care of our house we determined that it is time to let it go and let someone else work on it. The body is in good shape with a few dings. I was planning on working on it and bought a few parts and oil with filter but got too busy taking care of other things.
It is a good van when running.

Classic Volkswagen Vanagon Buyer's Guide (T3, 1980β1991)
People who haven't driven a Vanagon often assume it's just a newer Bus. It isn't. The T3 Vanagon is a fundamentally different vehicle β water-cooled from 1983 onward, wider track, more rigid body, dramatically better handling, and genuinely livable as a daily driver. The Westfalia camper conversion and the Syncro 4WD variant have built dedicated followings that have pushed prices to levels that would have seemed absurd a decade ago. The buying challenges are real β the early water-cooled engines have specific failure modes, and rust is still present β but a properly sorted Vanagon is one of the most genuinely useful and characterful vehicles in the classic segment.
