Subaru-Powered 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia 4-Speed

This classic and distinctive vehicle is a 1981 Volkswagen Kombi, popularly known as the Westfalia camper van. It sports a characteristic three-door configuration and retains its original form as a multipurpose passenger vehicle. Notably, this Vanagon has a unique blend of features; while it maintains its authentic VW engine - a air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer with a displacement of 1781 cc, offering around 67 horsepower, it's actually powered by a Subaru engine from the late 1980s, which is believed to provide more reliable and smoother operation. This conversion is paired with the original vehicle's four-speed manual transmission, making for an engaging driving experience befitting of its iconic, timeless body type and 6000 lb (2722 kg) or less gross vehicle weight rating. Despite being produced over three decades ago, this 'Bread Loaf' maintains a clean VIN check, reflecting the careful attention its owners have given to its upkeep through the years.
