Located near Hamilton Ontario Canada......

I have 2 VW Vanagon's for sale.  Both run, but both need some work......here is the low down on each...

1985 GL Weekender
was daily driver until I bought a newer car
~140k miles
heads have been done and do not leak
many new parts including:
water pump, several brake lines, starter, new Interstate battery, thermostat, serveral coolant lines, muffler, cat, tailpipe, wires, plugs, dist., rotor, 
many more parts I just can't remember
-this van has the folding bed
-the interior is in good condition
body is in decent condition with only minor seam rust

what needs attention............
4speed tranny is on it's way out as it grinds a bit going into third gear
there is a slight hesitation upon acceleration (this doesn't happen all the time) which may be the fuel filter
a rubber grommet is missing from the top of the fuel tank and overflows if filled completely 
front heater doesn't work

1985 GL
this van was bought as a back up for the above van
was purchase from the original owner
it has 200,000km on the engine
It was a daily driver until I bought it
auto tranny that shifts very well
heads have been done
needs brake work
has factory A/C
oil pan heater installed
there is a coolant line with a hole it it (I have a new replacement pipe but haven't installed it)
front heater works, rear heater is not installed
interior is in great condition
has a swivel table in it
very rusty body
there is an exhaust leak

in an ideal world I will sell these vans to the same person.  Both will run with minimal work.  Together they would make one GREAT vehicle, however, I'm willing to sell them seperatly...........
I'm have no idea of what they are worth so at this point I'll entertain offers..........
feel free to email me with any questions you have...........I do have pictures of the non-GL that I can forward immediately.....
thanks for reading,
Chad
