1980 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon CREW CAB DIESEL DOKA TRUCK T25 Description

Actual VIN# is WV2ZZZ24ZHH07526, which ebay robot does not recognize, as this is a European vehicle. So, I am forced to indicate it is a 1981 model year, but be assured, it is a very late 1987. Truck is being sold with a clear EUROPEAN TITLE and all correct import paperwork to obtain title in your state (except for California - in which case I will have to get GA title for you first) - Or you can pay me to obtain title for you. Call with any ???s
I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, regardless of whether or not truck has bids on it. If you want to buy the truck, call me - If you bid and wait to see what happens at the end of the auction you will more than likely not be buying this Crew Cab. Also, PLEASE do not bid unless you have your finances in order and definitely want to buy this truck, now. Payment due in full within 5 days of auctions end, $500 due at end of auction.
Very solid double cab Volkswagen truck here. I will not respond to text messages, and will not respond to ebay emails if you do not include a phone # that I can reach you at. If you are actually truly interested in thi, you will want to speak to me live as well. Truck starts, stops, runs and drives great. Check zombiemotors.net for more photos and information.
I usually type many paragraphs of information here about the cars i am selling (check my feedback) - but I have finally realized no one reads my ads. If you want to buy this truck, or want to know more, simply call me. If you text, or email without including your phone , you will be ignored.
Now, for those of you who are still reading, thank you! And onto the truck -
I just imported this ri, as this is what I do for a living (check my other auctions and please check my feedback) - Import Tdi Land Rover engines, Defenders, VW Dokas and other 'cool' vehicles here to the USA for resale. The last Doka I had sold about a week ago, and I am thinning the herd here to pay upcoming taxes/ bills, otherwise I would be keeping this truck for my business hauling freight/ crates back and forth to the port here.
Truck is very solid, and with very few small exceptions rust free. I will dedicate a paragraph to the things that are wrong with the truck next, but things that are good about the truck are : Tires are great! Truck has very low miles - showing 180K K, which translates into 112K miles - original speedo that does have 6 digit positions, and odometer works. Engine starts right up (even from freezing) with just a couple of seconds of glow plugs, and pulls great for a 1.6L - this is probably the strongest 1.6 I have had yet. Brakes feel great, stereo works (4 speakers in doors), Has a rare heated rear window and under-rear-seat aux. rear heater which operates from dash controls. Has tachometer (which does not work). Very straight, and paint is shiny and looks nice in my opinion. Much better paint than most of these I bring in. Lights all work. Truck be, while dented consistent with use, is not rusty. Treasure chest is nice. Doors are solid. Has central locking! Working off of a key fob. Halogen H4 headlights are bright. Clutch is strong, and I would not worry about driving this anywhere in the USA right now. Brand-new $200 super-nice CCA battery.
THINGS THAT ARE BAD WITH THE TRUCK :
Drivers side seat has some tears, so front seats are sporting that funky seat cover. Small tears in headliner (2, Very minor rust in body seams - no bubbles, just discoloration, much much nicer than most of these I see, but I need to mention it! There has been a body repair before truck was repainted sometime in the past and you can see evidence of the repair on the panel behind drivers side door, looks like a small crack in the paint, maybe bondo underneath? Again, very minor, but I should mention it. One front step has the famous Vanagon diamond-plate step cover, screwed down over some bubbles/ rust. Other step looks good. Truck paint is NOT PERFEC, but does look nice. 3 gauges which do not work ; water temp, oil pressure (both peg as soon as you turn the key on - likely a bad ground wire to the two instruments, and tachometer. Glow plugs have a separate button to operate, they are not automatic (I prefer this setup, myself) . Transmission shifter is a bit vague, needs the $25 plastic bushing kit for shifter. Transmission has a whine on over-run, gets louder the faster you are traveling. Not alarming, but I should mention it! Top speed in this thing is about 55-60MPH comfortably. Not the fault of this truck, but the nature of these particular beasts.
So, in short, this Doka is a bit of a project that you can drive and enjoy right now, as you fix the several small things it would need to be perfect/ hassle-free. You can drive it anywhere now, as-is - I have larger/ more powerful VW 1.9 Tdi engines here which would make this thing very fast.. I can sell one to go with the truck, even, if you want more power and speed 'down the road'. Very presentable and this double cab gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes.
IF YOU BID ; $500 due at end of auction, balance by wire transfer/ bank deposit/ cash in person/ check/ etc within 5 days, max. I can help you get this anywhere in the USA for a very reasonable price (under $1000 anywhere).
