advertisement Motor Trend described from whence the VW Vanagon
came: In the 1960s it was hippies and flower-power that put
Volkswagen's minimalist utilitarian Type 2 Bus on the map. Then in
the 1970s, the sexual revolution (with baby boom hormonal activity
peaking) made vans of all sorts popular, often lined with shag
carpeting, disco balls, and bars to put occupants in the mood. By
1980, just in time for the no-nonsense family minivan era,
Volkswagen rolled out its third generation of the Type 2-the first
to make a clean break from the styling of the 1949 original,
growing by 2.5 inches in length, 3.3 in width, and 0.2 in height,
while gaining some 130-plus pounds. It also got a new name:
Vanagon. Get your roadmaps out (or maybe Google maps) and plan a
long getaway in this awesome Westfalia Vanagon! This Van hails from
California and its overall condition is a testament to that.
Perfect for camping excursions, this awesome van is full of
upgrades, and extremely reliable. All exterior finishes are in
great condition. This VW has been repainted at some point recently,
which has been done in the factory Pastel White color. Van Cafe 15
alloy wheels and new tires have been added which give this Westy a
little more of a modern look. The interior of this Vanagon is full
of upgrades which have been neatly integrated. A few of those
upgrades are; LED Bulbs/additional light fixtures, Pioneer
Bluetooth stereo, Truckfridge TF49 modern refrigerator with Rocky
Mountain Westy install kit, Jack Bombay pop top shocks, Second
Battery system, and large gauge wiring for charging system. In
addition to the upgrades, the rest of the interior is in great
condition. Seating surfaces, carpeting, door panels, screens, and
canvas for the pop top all show nicely. Another great feature of
this Westy is the fuel efficient 2.1L Waterboxer 4 cylinder engine
mated to an automatic transmission. The engine was rebuilt at
approximately 186k with new AMC heads added. A great deal of
upgrades have been completed on the engine and driveline recently
and include things such as: new Bilstein shocks, Bosch Alternator,
front and rear brakes, tie rod ends, front upper ball joints,
GoWesty aluminum thermostat housing, Rocky mountain Cooling pipes
and coolant tower, serviced CV's/boots, new catalytic converter
(passes California smog), new heater core,/blower motor, fuel tank
reseal kit, roof solar panel, custom front and rear lights, and
brand new front seats. This Vanagon is all set for the open road.
Get your roadmaps out and plan a trip, this Westy will have no
