1987 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Westfalia

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia remains one of the most recognizable and beloved camper vans ever produced, offering a unique combination of practicality, charm, and adventure-ready versatility. Buyers who opted for the Westfalia camper conversion unlocked integrated living accommodations ideal for road trips, family outings, and camping.

These vans, which were marketed as Vanagon Campers in the U.S., started life alongside other vans at VW's assembly plant in Germany, but then they were shipped as incomplete vehicles to Westfalia-Werke to be fully converted into campers with pop-up roofs, propane-fueled kitchenettes, and flexible seating that can be converted into sleeping space.

This 1987 Vanagon GL Westfalia is powered by a liquid-cooled 2.1-liter flat-four engine paired with a three-speed automatic transaxle.

Finished in Dove Blue Metallic over gray cloth upholstery, the van features a classic VW Camper interior layout with front bucket seats that can be swiveled rearward a rear bench that can be folded flat to create a bed. The pop-up top creates a second floor for additional sleeping capacity.

This Vanagon Camper has been with its current owner since 2017.

This 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Westfalia is now offered at no reserve with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
