*Rare combo* Full Camper, Subaru Eng, Auto Trans! Price: 20000.00

PRICE DROPPED - MUST SELL - Won't find a better deal on a subaru+auto this good!
1985 Vanagon Westfalia (full camper with stove, sink, and fridge)
2.2L Subaru Engine
Automatic Transmission
CARB certified and compliant engine swap! Current on smog, registration good until 9/2026
~300,000 Miles on the body
This is a great, cozy van with a lot of nice touches. With the Subaru engine, auto transmission, and the quality of life improvements, you could take it today as a daily driver or a an awesome weekend camper. Or if you’re looking to build the ultimate rig, there’s still plenty to personalize and upgrade exactly how you want.
The combo of a Subaru swap and auto transmission (legal in CA, too) is exceedingly rare and I think this I pretty fairly priced vs what else is out there.
Selling because of a move and change in living conditions. Happy to meet in the San Diego area for test drives or inspections.

***Needs improvement***
»The exterior is fine, AT BEST. There is paint cracking and chipping, and it’s got a few scraps and bruises on the sides, including a visible repair. One bumper cap got torn off. Etc. Tried to be upfront about this in the photo.
»This originally was a van with stock air conditioning (AC), but a previous owner ripped out the main parts.The switches and hoses are still installed, and I put a rear cabinet back in that could be used if you wanted to find the missing for AC again.
»Tachometer was never hooked up to the Subaru engine. I do have a doodad that is supposed to make this work, I just never figured it out.
»»The temp light flashes every now and then even when in range, but pretty sure it's a dash connection since you can tap it and it stops. (Percussive Maintenance is what the pros call it)
»Though the original fridge is installed and works, it’s showing its age aesthetically with discoloration despite repeated cleanings
****The extras included or things I haven’t installed****
Extra wing window gasket (current one is fine but I was thinking it might cut down a little on the wind noise)
One complete screen for sliding window, one frame without screen
Snap on mosquito/screen doors for side and rear
Gowesty heavy duty lift assist kit for pop top
Spare quilted vinyl to match the headliner if you want to add it elsewhere.
