This 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia is finished in orange over grey cloth upholstery and is powered by a replacement water-cooled 2.1-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a pop-up camper, a kitchenette with cabinets, a fold-down table, and a refrigerator along with a heater, a fold-out bed, and window curtains. The van spent time in California and Maryland before it was acquired by the seller and moved to Pennsylvania in August 2017. Subsequent work performed is said to have included a repaint as well as the replacement of the rear axles, fuel pump, rear heater assembly, and starter motor.
Previously white, the van was reportedly repainted in orange under current ownership. Features include a pop-top camper roof with canvas sides as well as aftermarket headlights, side mirrors, utility hook-ups, and chrome bumpers with rub strips.
Eight-hole 16” alloy wheels are wrapped in 215/70 Cooper Discoverer SRX tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The left front lower ball joint was replaced under current ownership.
The front bucket seats are upholstered in grey cloth and are joined by matching door panels and carpets. Additional equipment includes a BigShot shifter, air conditioning, sliding rear windows, and fold-down armrests. The rear heater assembly and heater fan resistor were replaced in 2018.
Instrumentation includes a digital clock, a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,200-rpm redline, and a six-digit odometer showing 79k miles. The Carfax report lists a potential odometer rollback in January 2004 and shows that an “Exceeds Mechanical Limits” title was issued on several occasions since June 2010. True mileage is unknown.
The rear compartment features a fold-out bed, window curtains, and a kitchenette with dual propane burners, a sink, a fold-out table, and cabinets. The seller states that a zip-up screen door, black-out curtains that snap to the vans interior, an electrical hook-up cord, and a water hook-up will accompany the van. The replacement refrigerator and two USB outlets are powered by an accessory solar panel.
The replacement water-cooled 2.1-liter “Waterboxer” flat-four was sourced from JCS Rebuilt Engines in Irwindale, California, and installed in 2007. Service performed since 2017 has included replacing the left rear axle, starter motor, and fuel pump and lines as well as resealing the fuel tank. The seller notes the vehicle requires a jump start if it sits for longer than a week.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
