Nice find. I assume it's gas, and so air-cooled by the air louvres?

Vanagons kept their louvers throughout the production run, even the water-cooled models. The more fresh air in the engine compartment, the better and it kept the original styling.

The air-cooled Vanagons were model-years 1980-1983. This one qualifies. Quite a steal at that price... assuming it's in 33,000 mile condition, ie interior in barely used shape, etc.

Might have some lot-rot, but for 3500, so what? Replace rubber hoses and seals...Lube the cylinders before cranking...
