Here’s a Westy that needs no qualification: it’s just a badass, well-done camper van. The Chris Corkins engines are a great swap solution, giving more usability and power while staying true with a VW wasserboxer. Pretty much everything (save the tie-dyed tent) is on the short-list of great choices for Vanagons, including the South African grill and lights, lift kit, racks, functional interior and exterior options… make that a long list of great choices. If the seller knows enough to make these mods from these vendors, then he knows what the market is for vans like this, which means this auction could get crazy.

Just about checks all the boxes. Even if the Syncros will bring more money, if you’re in warmer climes this van has the clearance without the burden. Westies not nearly as decked-out as this one have gone for over $30k, and I’d expect this one to clear $40k or higher. With a parts van included, this is for the real-deal Westy enthusiast. If I had the dough, it’s very much the type of Vanagon I would love forever.
