Hi Friends! BAT Purchase... New member

Post#1 » Wed May 01, 2019 3:41 am

Hi

I purchased a 1981 280 GE on Bring a Trailer
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1981- ... 0-g-wagen/
Truck had been part of a 60 car collection and so sat..and sat... and sat. Vlad at Four by four club supplied me with a half dozen parts; brake master cylinder, power steering pump, water pump, thermostat kit, power steering belt, left door latch, and about 6 hours of labor.... Then I was reliably on the road... No issues since..

Welcome to the club!

I was honestly expecting more rust for an 1981 example. But the unit you've purchased seems immaculate on the outside.

Congratulations to the purchase. A very nice stock w460! :)

Just turn the mirrors 90 degrees and enjoy the ride. ;)
