Description for Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon 1982

1982 Volkswagen Westfalia pop-top camper version with an integrated kitchen, complete with refrigerator, a two-burner stove, and stainless steel sink with onboard water supply

includes a padded insert and original cushion creating an upper bed; these models could sleep, four adults. See photo of the original sticker with type and serial.

Originally a 2.0 L (1,970 cc) (70 bhp/51 kW) air-cooled but converted to Subaru 130-hp, 2.2-liter H-4 water-cooled. The donor Subaru Legacy wagon had 120K+ on the odometer was not working when purchased in late 2012.

Engine conversion was done in 2013 using a 1984 Vanagon water-cooled vehicle for engine cooling and van heating system including both front and rear heaters with the grill area in the front but kept the distinctive air-cooled appearance.

4 Spd. Manual Transmission with a heavy-duty Subaru 2.5L pressure plate/disc.

Vanagon was originally Ivory (L567) we think but was repainted white by the previous owner.

Full Window Curtain set with one iron scorch mark/repair on one curtain. The console convenience center slides out of the way. Rotating driver and passenger seat bases.

Z-bed below with factory cushions. Has working propane Dometic RM215 refrigerator.

120v/12v inverter with utility battery charge function, 120V circuit panel wired with 120V outlet inside for convenience appliances.

On-board water tank 12v electric pump works as does the hand pump. Has domestic water faucet for direct water hose hook-up (use water pressure regulator).

Propane two-burner gas cooktop

Hydro Flame propane heater. The unit fan comes on but the igniter does not actuate. Sail switch, fan timer, and gas solenoid all work.

Upgraded removable face Pioneer radio with CD/USB/Remote Control/Phone link for hands-free use.

Interior lighting above cook surface, adjustable spot reading lamps in the rear.

Tires have approximately 50% tread remaining.

The top canopy is sound but used. It has one repaired area on the front driver's side where 2-3" tear was patched on the corner.

When the conversion was completed the odometer was repaired and set to zero miles. The conversion now has approximately 28,600 Miles

Irritant alert: squeaky bushing on the passenger side when going over speed bumps, etc.
