Just picture me and my family towing the teener to AX. Matching colors I want it
Vanagon
wheelchair Lift, lowered, phone dials

Buy It Now seems fair

Actually... Mercedes wheels bolt right on it..

Why do they have to be on the east coast ?? Dont make me go there and get one...LOL


B

I guess thats what I get. Sold my Subaru to a guy in Alaska, my truck to Minnesota, and a Harley to Utah.
It says that they know a great shipper
Cant you see me chillin, w/ sunroof open? Sigh

I would go with, if you want. I love road trips!!

That is the ugliest color I have ever seen.... :finger2:

I can see you sitting in it with the sunroof open and rain pouring in on you... LOL


B

Its almost the color of your shirt in your avitar

Looks like we will have to get you some glasses also...LOL

B

Can we send somebody to look at it for us ??

Anyone live close ??


B

I have no problem with it... I just want somebody to look at it before we jump.

What do they normally go for ??

B

Recently, the Westies and Syncros go for 3-5K. On the 'Bay, anyways...

I have never really liked the westies as much as the bay windows (I have a 73 ) but that one looks super clean, I do like the sunroof, and its about the same color as my bay...

My only question would be if that thing really could tow a teener? I know mine can barely get out of the way of itself, I couldn't imagine trying to tow with it.

Tony

Hey we could all drive it a little way and then pass it off to another lister.

How fun would that be (til your trip was up and you had to walk home I guess).



But other than that!

I just looked on maps.com

Waynesboro is about 6 hours from me.

I have a thought though.

If there is anybody going to Hershey this weekend from the south, you could stop by Waynesboro going to or returning from Hershey

Waynesboro is just off 81

I like it too Dave!......but as for towing, that isn't its department. You could have one of the listers do a v8 conversion- 289? 350? 502? bigger is better!

If this van is in Pennsylvania, they salt the roads there and rust can be a big issue.
I'm sure someone out there knows how to deal with rust :-). If I was going to tow something with it I would want to look at something with a bit more power. Like V8!!
Cheers, Elliot

Penn is not near here.

Dont tow with this, get a Eurovan.
I tow my teener and many other things,,,
I real workhorse. Alot more torque than the air/watercoller boxter motor.

If you want to buy it, I would be happy to drive it to CA if I get some good 914 junk to bring home...
A rust free shell comes to mind.
Or a rust free karmann ghia conv.

I would tow it out, and tow back my prize..

Not gonna tow w/ it, just trying to put a pic in B's head.

Still workin on details...

Brad, did you call? I think yer prolly busy

I was going to email him..

But this office computer puked on me yesterday and I still dont have my email working. It will be done today.

B

I just tried to email him thru Ebay and it puked on me.

B

The seller is a car dealer. You could give them a call.

WAYNESBORO AUTO SALES (717)-762-6229

I would call, but I don't know the questions.

I ussualy don't advocate using Hydraulics, but imagine pulling up, dropping the frame rails to the ground, Have a flip ramp drop down. And out rolls the Turbo Chair...

Ditching the Slider for Barn Door style...

And Hey, Its not Air cooled, but a 928 Plant should provide plent of power for towing.

Or better yet, that monster from the Cayanne....

Ed Hachtel

How about this dave- couldnt find phonedials

why did it double post? first message had an error- second one loaded....hmmmm
n e way, enjoy!

I am going to start restoring my bay in the next few months...here is the prototype look for it...kinda close to the westie look above...

Brad...how do you think one of those cheap boxter motors would work in a bay window?

I they would work great..!! Not sure how we would do the tranny.. They dont make adapters for them.

Something is jacked up with the BBS .php mailer.

Just go back and delete the extra post.

B

There are actually a couple nice 928 injuns on ebay right now.

I called, no answer. Left a message.
I like the Fuchs on it

I don't want to ruin the party, but if you plan on driving it while in a wheelchair you might have a problem. If I remember right, the engine in those things is under the front seats.

I know someone who is in a wheelchair and has a minivan...he hits a button to open the side door and a ramp comes out. Then he just rolls up the ramp and into the drivers spot where the seat would be. He has all the control mounted up near the steering wheel so he can drive with his hands (gas and brake). This guys set-up is trick, but it is in a converted minivan.

Just my two cents,
Britain

Engine is in the rear (see muffler). I will be lowering it to stablize it, and I'm not driving when finally in the chair. I can, however, help in driving it home. That would be fun
When in the chair, I will be tied down where the center seats are. Got it?

Ah, my bad...

I got it now, sorry about the confusion.

If you need it to go through Texas, I can help...

-Britain

i liked the slammed bus runnin on fuchs......i want that on a tee shirt!
would be cool for it to have a flat six in da back!

I did a vehicle check, and all is good.

While we are talking Vanagon & Eurovan...

Check this one out

EuroVan 3.6BiTurbo

I have the full clip in WMV. I just don't have enough space to host it.

Marc-André

That was bad

If need be I could possibly get it through a couple of the states south of MI (OH, IN, IL)....i like the idea of having a bunch of 914 owners helping out by driving it for a couple states close to home. There are a lot of places to Greyhound to/from. It could work.

I wouldn't want to ask... Besides, I would enjoy it
Driven all over the states, and its a straight shot on I-90

I was imagining the "hitting the switches". I think MDA would cover part of the outrageous cost.
Would be slick, but more importantly, legit

Dave, what's the side door opening heigth? You'd mentioned that you measured chair heigth is 53". I used to have a pop top camper and it seemed the door was quite high. This would be great if the side door is high enough. Then all you'd need it the ramp or the lift. No expensive floor drop. Plus, if your head is too high once inside you can just open the sunroof!
bruce

Well...that is now the leading consideration for the new van motor, boxter 6...and after I am done with the resto I can decide on which one I get depending on how much cash I have left I have been thinking of doing a v8 conversion, but this would be alot cooler ...

Brad, you don't think we cold talk kennedy into making an adapter plate? Also, could I get some measurements of the engine...(gotta see how much cutting will be going on )

Anyway, its too bad I am just starting on this project...cause I am going to do this one right and wait till the very end before swaping the engine...ahhh, atleast its fun to dream...

Tony

Found these in the PNW

Tony,

I called old man Kennedy about 2 years ago and asked them when they where going to do an adapater for the Boxster engine... they asked the wrong question: "Why ??"

Because you F-ING do adapters ??? I was furious. There happens to be a lot of business' stuck in their old ways and not willing to think ahead. It was a no brainer for me..

Humm... complete engines @trannies for 5k. Engines for 3500$...nah lets not make an adapter...


B

......

could be the new motor or a recall of some sort.

canada to virginia to pa?

Just talked w/ the seller, and he wouldn't tell me the reserve . He did confirm that that the pan is solid, and no rust

Bruce, the hight is perfect, 52" at the door, 56" inside. The 53" included a few spare inches. The camper/pop top have fridges and stoves, so its a tight fit. There is one w/ a sunroof here, in Seattle. Not nearly as nice. I'll go look today...

Thanks. Makes sense.

Brad,

Well, thats a shame about Kennedy...I guess well just have to farm it out to Muller

In reality, It will be at least a year before I am anywhere near that point, and thats if the 914 stays in one piece...

Would there be an issue with using the boxter trans? I imagine I would have to regear it, but there is alot of room under those buses...and I would have to rebuild mine anyway...

Tony
