81' VW Westfalia

Description for Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon 1981

Hi all! I purchased this 81' Westfalia (aircooled,fuel injected engine using pointsdistributor)for 5k, put about 3k in. Van is in running condition, drives and shifts beautifully, though periodically ignition doesn't catch on first try. Not sure why this is because everything runs very smoothly otherwise.Selling because I needed a 100% reliable vehicle to get me cross-country. Selling as is, no refunds, no warranties, and no post-auction inspections allowed. Inspections welcome during auction period. Contact me for a Buy It Now.
