I didn't reply to your OP because you said "auto only". It appears that you might have relaxed this requirement.
I have a 74 dual carb camper. 50K original miles. That's the high performance 1800cc engine, which is in perfect shape. 125 psi compression on all four holes.
Everything's original. No rust whatsoever. It belonged to my father in law and I inherited it. In fact, I drove it into the barn where it was stored for nearly 30 years. It was stored because the clutch was slipping. The oil seal had failed, leaking oil onto the clutch.
With help and supervision from the guys here, I pulled the engine, replaced the entire clutch system, and all of the fuel lines, filters etc. while I was in there. Four brand new Hankook A08 tires. All documented on this forum. When I was done, I drove it to Maupin for the RendezVW, so I'm confident of its reliability.
The stove is gone, as is the propane tank, but the fridge is still installed. It was working, but I can't verify that it still works.
Colin is familiar with this vehicle if you want more info. I have lots of pix. Vehicle is in the Kootenays in BC.
I purchased a Mercedes Sprinter, so it's surplus. The VW is taking up valuable garage space.
Open to reasonable offers.

Peter
