Used 1987 Vanagon Westfalia w/2 2 Subaru for sale in Salt Lake City, UT

Vehicle Description

Up for sale is my fabulous 1987 “Kiwi Green” Volkswagen Vanagon GL Westfalia with 2.2L Subaru EJ22 engine. While it is no garage queen, it has been used lovingly and well-maintained. I’m selling because despite my emotional attachment to it, we’d rather have something more modern with airbags as a family camping vehicle and it hasn’t seen much use since our first little one arrived.

For more pics / video or questions, feel free to contact me.

Will consider all reasonable offers.

Extras include:
4x Mefro-style 15” steel wheels with Nokian Hakkapellita studless snow tires
Wet Okole front seat covers
Full fabric cover
Front bra
Bike rack

As with any Vanagon in good condition with many miles, the list of repairs / upgrades is too long to list, but here are the broad strokes:

Options include:
Power steering
Power assisted brakes
4spd manual transmission
A/C (converted to R134a but no Subaru hosing/fittings/compressor, quoted $2200 by Utah Imports to finish and advised against it because the A/C in these is mediocre at best)
Pop-top roof with opening skylight
2 double beds (sleeps 4; 2 up, 2 down)
Two burner gas stove (works, but buyer strongly advised to upgrade the 30+ y/o OEM propane tank)
Sink
Rear table + bracket for front table
Water tank
Front swivel captains chairs
Kenwood CD player w/remote, aux input and detachable face plate - pre-wired for subwoofer in rear bench
Screens + curtains
12V refrigerator (Truckfridge)
50Ah LiPo aux battery (installed Fall 2020)
1.25” tow hitch + receiver
Bike rack

Notable upgrades/maintenance:
2.2L 135 HP EJ22 Subaru (OBD1 from a 1996 Impreza), installed by P/O 3/06 (151k miles). Mileage on the replacement engine is unknown, but it runs smoothly, doesn’t burn oil and starts right up.
Beautiful custom paint job in Kiwi Green (Ford OEM color). Ugly and rust-prone stock camper hookups moved from original location down next to propane tank for nice clean look
All rubber window seals + pop top seal replaced when the glass was out for painting
Interior wood panels re-cut and wrapped in new marine grade vinyl, sound deadening added

Following mechanical systems repaired/replaced in past 50k miles post engine conversion:
Rebuilt 4spd transaxle (German Transaxle)
New clutch, linkage
New starter
New axles
Bilstein HD shocks
New catalytic convertor, O2 sensor, muffler, tailpipe
New exhaust headers
15” alloy GW wheels
Front brakes (hubs, calipers, shoes, brake lines)
Rear brake (drums, shoes)
Suspension: tie rod ends, bushings, ball joints, control arm bushings
Stainless coolant lines
Heater core
Front heater blower motor
Reseal fuel tank + replace filler hose
