Another VW Vanagon Barn Find- Cindy's Bus

[@gordonfleming7976]

Good to see the doka out on a road trip being all dependable and stuff :) that vanagon looked to be in real nice shape inside and out. Cindy appeared to really enjoy you guys coming out to see her and the van.

[@TheBarefootForge]

It’s a great bus and it found a great new home, I’m glad we could visit with Cindy and share her story!

[@JackStolz]

This one was so great. Love seeing the Doka taken to the limit haha! Looks like a wonderful bus for the right person.

[@TheBarefootForge]

We made it there and back with the doka, so- that’s an accomplishment!

[@havredave]

I've wanted a VW bus for the last 40 years. You guys have definitely re-ignited the urge. Fun!

[@TheBarefootForge]

Get one! They’re tons of fun, there’s plenty available, and their value is climbing!

[@havredave]

@@TheBarefootForge I plan on it for sure, but that day is a way off yet. I'm sure you'll hear from me again when I do!

[@janesecaraway3995]

That vanagan could be your fancy car!! 😉

[@TheBarefootForge]

I have a fancy car, it's a dodge grand caravan- it's delightful.

[@rarerides]

So sick to see the Doka out and about! Sweet vanagon video per usual- cool story!

[@TheBarefootForge]

Thanks man! Just trying to find them all great homes and partake in as many adventures as possible!

[@georgchristakos8726]

It's really fun to watch you and your freinds make things Workshop again . Too See the DOKA alive again is so cool. Nice Vanagon GL... I have a T3 LLE 1992 number 1602 of 2500 Orlyblue. Greets wish you,good time have fun and enjoy the time George Christakos.

[@georgchristakos8726]

I fort to mention it's a 1.6 Turbo Diesel.

[@TheBarefootForge]

@@georgchristakos8726 that’s awesome dude! Those late models are mega cool, especially with the JX, I’m a fan of the JX so far, despite the fact that mine sucks- a lot.

[@mikenewman137]

cant believe how tidy that is, be easy to get on the road.

[@TheBarefootForge]

It'll still take a whole lot of work- but its definitely worth saving!

[@egbertpettitt612]

A barn is an agricultural building usually on farms and used for various purposes. In North America, a barn refers to structures that house livestock, including cattle and horses, as well as equipment and fodder, and often grain

[@TheBarefootForge]

A "Barn Find" is commonly used to refer to a vehicle found in storage for a long time.

[@VanaConn]

The z bed was a $260 option that included the back cushion

[@TheBarefootForge]

Wild! I feel bad for those folks that opted out of it, it really should have been standard.

[@madhuvan214]

Looks pretty clean for a Pennsyltuckey van...

[@TheBarefootForge]

Heck ya, it's a good looking and well preserved bus- i hope it brings years of happiness to the next owner!

[@sutikno917]

Car old if amazing

[@TheBarefootForge]

What's your favorite part?

[@montanaharkin]

lol, gushing onto the starter

[@TheBarefootForge]

That’s their favorite mode of failure! This is why they burn down.

[@richardroos5965]

Did you take Dan with you in case your Doka broke down and you would need someone to give you a push? Definitely amazing how you got that Doka back on the road!

[@TheBarefootForge]

Dan, chris, and Kyle joined me on this adventure. And- the bus found a great home, it’s staying local!

[@Achilles3588]

Doka road trip....white knucklin' the whole way I'll bet.

[@TheBarefootForge]

Ehh, it’s getting to be more reliable and fun, slowly.

[@georgchristakos8726]

Oh i fotgot to mention it's a 1.6 Turbo Diesel

[@musicting2767]

Do you not tend to get 1.9dg's in the state's?

[@TheBarefootForge]

Lots and lots! From 83.5-85, then things switched over to the 2.1 MV. We never got the 2.1DJ- by FAR the best of the best.

[@karloskelly]

Not sure a passenger van has a rear cushion.

[@TheBarefootForge]

Yes, all passenger vans came with a rear cushion. In this case she sadly had JUST thrown it out.

[@johnellis3502]

Escutcheon not echelon

[@nealart]

Creampuff

[@TheBarefootForge]

Absolutely!

[@DthDyj]

I have a 85 vanagan for sale or trade. Good condition, not running. Title no key.

[@TheBarefootForge]

[@midowbf]

[@TheBarefootForge]

It’s in about 70% of the ones sold in the US. It doesnt usually work, but it is more common then rare.
