Pretty impressive example - appears to be low miles, original and unmolested.
I never had a yen for a tin-top but if I wanted one this would be hard to improve upon.
As for the price - well that may be what preservation costs.

Not quite the color of my '85, but it sure brings back the memories. Alas, I don't have $28k to spare. Then again, I spent $6k in '91 and mine had 29k then. _________________ Now: 2003 New Beetle Turbo S / 1990 Single Cab Transporter / 2014 Tiguan R-Line 4motion / 2013 Tiguan S / 2002 Golf GLS TDI

It also says "lots of power" so that is also unbelievable. Looks nice though. _________________ '87 Syncro

And it says, '1989' and has a brown interior...
And weird little holes in the rear fascia. _________________ '84 Vanagon GL 1.9 WBX

I was wondering about that as well. Quite curious. _________________ Grateful daily,

I spoke with the gentleman selling it when it was first listed and he says it IS an original Westy but the PO changed out the interior to brown for some unknown reason. That was all the info he had on the interior. Good looking van overall though.
Adding this for when the CL ad gets pulled:
1989 Westfalia Vanagon campervan for sale Runs very well and is solid on the road. Engine compression is high and has lots of power. Van overall is clean and ready to be enjoyed camping. Asking $17,500 OBO

I emailed him and he said the PO had changed the interior.....which makes me wonder why? Fleas, bedbugs, mice, fire? _________________ '84 Vanagon GL 1.9 WBX

It looks like that white '89 has been repainted.
The rear bumper isn't the same style as front.
"O visits" in ad. Odd. I visited.

Yes. And no sale at a very reasonable price. I have a feeling that it would show a lot of warning signs in person. _________________ '84 Vanagon GL 1.9 WBX

That's totally worth saving. About as rusty as mine once I started digging under the crappy repaint. _________________ '87 Syncro
