Porsche-Powered 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon 5-Speed

This striking 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon boasts a unique character born in the heart of West Germany's historic Auto Union period. Manufactured during an era renowned for its innovative design and robust engineering, this vintage van harmoniously blends classic Volkswagen charm with an unexpected twist: under its hood lies a powerhouse 3.2L air-cooled flat-six engine sourced from a 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera, seamlessly integrated alongside the original five-speed manual transaxle for a distinctive driving experience. Initially ordered with a sunroof to enhance airflow and visibility, this iconic van was later owned by the co-founder of Swiss Motors in Culver City, California, before being previously sold on Bring A Trailer last December. Its timeless appeal is accentuated by its residence in Countryside, Illinois, USA.
