1987 VW Westfalia Camper Van – Subaru 2.5L   Price: 32500
Meet your next adventure companion.

This beloved Westy has been in our family since 2006 and meticulously maintained ever since. We’ve prioritizing mechanical performance over flashy mods—so there’s plenty of room to make it your own, or just hit the road and enjoy.

She’s not a show queen, but she's in excellent shape, super solid, and well cared-for. Always maintained by VW/Vanagon specialists here in Portland (Precision Motor Car + German Transaxle).

We’re letting her go because we’re not making the most of vanlife anymore, and it’s time for someone else to enjoy her fully.

Specs:
1987 VW Westfalia Camper – Wolfsburg Edition
Clean title in hand
Subaru 2.5L engine (2011) – 50,984 miles

Clean, mostly original interior – very comfortable, great shape
Minimal rust, paint in good condition
New pop-top tent (GoWesty acrylic canvas)

NOTES:
One prior owner had a minor accident (tipped it in a snowbank, no body/frame damage). The only part replaced was the driver’s side interior door panel. No collision, no structural impact—just flagged on the VIN, unfortunately.
Currently registered as a Special Purpose Vehicle, driven only occasionally since the new transmission went in.
Always stored under cover and driven regularly enough to stay in great running shape.
No working AC

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.
This van is ready for someone who knows what they’re looking for—no resellers or dreamers, please. If you understand the value of a properly done Subaru conversion and a solid, well-loved Westy, let’s chat.

$32,000 OBO
