1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia

I’d imagine all Westy buyers imagine themselves picking up and traveling the world in their van, adventuring and accruing a healthy stash of stories. Most probably end up lucky to get the occasional overnight, lugging the pop top to sailing practice. The previous owners of this van have lived the dream, the first taking the van from Florida to Britain to New Zealand as he moved. The sellers then shipped it to Chile, where they drove it up the Pan American Highway to the northeastern US, where it currently resides. The seller is hoping for $12k but hasn’t seen any bids at the opening $8k. Perhaps it’s the conflicting info in the description versus the data frame; the difference between 100,000 miles and 1,000,000 seems worth clearing up.

You can be the next author for this travel journal containing many full pages but plenty of blanks as well. The work of the other owners is enough for some great conversations as it will surely attract plenty of attention. Any Vanagon should come with an expectation of imminent maintenance needs, but at least this one has proved that it’s truly a worthy world traveler. I’d be surprised if it can’t find a new intrepid captain.
