1990 VANAGON - 2.1L M/T

Vintage Volkswagen camper van with a pop-up roof parked on a grassy area during sunrise or sunset, with trees and a fence in the background.

A hardy 1990 Vanagon Westfalia has just stepped up to the plate. Wes Van-derson, unlike the movie director with a suspiciously similar name, has no arms to hold a video camera. BUT, we’d also wager Wes Anderson couldn’t crush the Coquihalla Pass as a manual 4-speed van with stock internals.

OWNER ASKING PRICE: $20000
