Yellow 1985 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper w/ 2.5L Subaru Motor – $12k in LA
I’m still not sure how this Kennedy CARB stuff works in California, but basically I’m pretty sure only the 2.2L can pass smog, not the 2.5L. Anyhow, it appears this seller might not have realized that and had the 2.5L conversion done, but now he’s going to sell it as he’s in LA and can’t register it. The van is listed for sale on both The Samba and Craigslist. Not many details are provided, other than they’ve got $15k invested. The pictures are not great, but overall it looks to be in great shape, possibly fresh paint and fresh interior. The seller states that they have a new tent, but it is not installed. That’s generally about a 5-7 hour job for someone that knows what they are doing. This would be a sweet find for someone out of state in the southwest, or even up in the Pacific NW where these Small Car conversions are trusted and popular.
