Last Detail of the '89 Trooper

[RooflessVW]

Should be gone tomorrow. Took some photos after a last detail and oil change.

Cleaned up the paint with some 3D Speed. Used Fram 15W-40 semi-syn and a Hastings LF542.

Those all disintegrated to basic elements about 15 years ago in my area. My brother in Vancouver had one of these when his 4 daughters were in car seats.

I do!

Just time to move on. Don't need 4 cars.

Very nicely detailed vehicle and I have to believe it should sell fairly quickly. That is definitely not a rust belt vehicle.

Would have looked like Swiss cheese here. Could also put your feet thru the floor to use as brakes.

Nice looking vehicle!

raise it to 6k. That is SOOOOO CLEAN!
Why couldnt it be closer to Ohio.

 

[RooflessVW]

raise it to 7k. That is SOOOOO CLEAN!

It has an NC salvage title from an accident in '14.

It's really nice, and I could probably ask more, but I'd rather ask a number I'll be happy with and not mess around.

Looks like it has been a real Trooper.

I had a very similar Trooper. 5 speed with that outrageously long shifter handle. LOL and the big round headlights. It was very slow but other than that, I can't say too much negative about it other than it ate power steering pumps. It was during a very bad part of my life, but the Trooper had some good memories. When I see a Trooper of this vintage, it reminds me how bad my life was then and how good it is now.

Lots of TLC, great job on the R&R.

Yes, you do.

My friend and his dad both had them. Saw a lot of abuse and help up pretty good.

My father-in-law bought one about 20 years ago, had it like a year and got totaled on corner of his block

Sweet ride! The way it's kept reminds me of those Jeep Wagoneer restorations. I'd drive it daily!

That’s a screaming deal. If I lived near you, I’d have me a Trooper in my driveway.
