Did I just hear "robust, strong 2.1 liter engine"? Ha!
Here's a first - a Vanagon passing a 930 Turbo in the fast lane (8:44). Well, maybe the 2.1 is robust and strong after all. Just forget about the part about the 930 being blocked by the 80's Cougar. :)
Save the Vanagons! these are fantastic vehicles, they look ugly to some people until you do the research on them and realize what they are made of. Superior engineering way ahead of its time.
@definca I've been looking at buying a VW (bus or vanagon). My brother has a 62 VW truck (pink and grey that you can see from a mile away) and i'd really like to find a syncro to go offroad with (plus when it snows the 4wd would come in handy) I think they look really cool.
@sgtpepper1138 If you have the cash its the way to go. Only 1500 were imported into the US, though they were made over seas up till a few years ago. For a fully restored sycro camper (the BOMB) expect to pay between 50-90k. I have a 90 westy and I love it. I will be adding a locking rear diff (its 2wd) You would be amazed where you can get off road in a 2wd. Anyway, I love it, we have been from Main to CA in it and camp year round with the kids!
You don't happen to also have the VW Mobility Access program that featured the Vanagon Carat & was hosted by Pamela Martin, do you?!!
