Subaru-Powered 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon GL 4-Speed

The distinctive vehicle in focus is a 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon GL, originally manufactured with a standard Volkswagen air-cooled engine. However, it has been meticulously retrofitted with a more robust and modern powerplant from the 2012 Subaru Outback, specifically a 2.5-liter flat-four engine, making it stand out among its contemporaries. Exterior features include white paintwork, a practical Smittybilt side awning for shade, window rain guards for windscreen protection, roof crossbars for versatile cargo carrying, and sturdy 16-inch steel wheels paired with front disc brakes and Bilstein shocks ensuring stable and confident handling. The interior retains its original four-speed manual transaxle for engaged driving dynamics, complementing the heavy-duty front springs which provide added suspension support. Additionally, this versatile camper van showcases a spacious 1-inch wooden floor, demonstrating both functionality and attention to detail. Presently located in Port Hadlock, Washington, USA, this unique blend of classic '80s charm and modern Subaru performance is ready for new adventures on the road ahead.
