Seller's Description

1987 VW Westfalia Camper Van – Subaru 2.5L Conversion – Wolfsburg Edition – $32,500 OBO (Portland, OR) Meet your next adventure companion. This beloved Westy has been in our family since 2006 and meticulously maintained ever since. We’ve invested over $40K into reliable upgrades, prioritizing mechanical performance over flashy mods—so there’s plenty of room to make it your own, or just hit the road and enjoy. She’s not a show queen, but she's in excellent shape, super solid, and well cared-for. Always maintained by VW/Vanagon specialists here in Portland (Precision Motor Car + German Transaxle). We’re letting her go because we’re not making the most of vanlife anymore, and it’s time for someone else to enjoy her fully. ✅ Specs: 1987 VW Westfalia Camper – Wolfsburg Edition Clean title in hand Subaru 2.5L engine (2011) – 50,984 miles German Transaxle rebuilt transmission (2017) – 5,838 miles Manual transmission 16” wheel upgrade Clean, mostly original interior – very comfortable, great shape Minimal rust, paint in good condition New pop-top tent (GoWesty acrylic canvas) Runs and drives great 🔧 Major Upgrades + Work (Partial List): Subaru conversion done by Small Car Performance (2013) Engine replaced in 2015 with a 2011 2.5L Subaru engine (with 26K miles at install) Transmission rebuilt by German Transaxle (Bend, OR) Rebuilt fridge New alternator belt, fuel lines, CV boots/joints, horn ring, headlights, heater valve, rear bumper & caps, etc. Recent detailing (inside & out), alignment, new tires, new muffler Auxiliary battery + charger system for long sits New odometer, stereo/speakers, swing-out table, upgraded skylight Original cabinetry and upholstery are in good, usable condition Total repairs & upgrades since 2006: Over $40,000. Invoices available. 🎁 Extras included: Unused snow chains Water filter + hose for fresh tank Custom-fitted sheet for bottom bed Car cover (new in 2022) Dash visor (Star Wars, obviously) GoWesty hat + cup coozies ;) Clip-on fans Folding cup holders 📝 NOTES: One prior owner had a minor accident (tipped it in a snowbank, no body/frame damage). The only part replaced was the driver’s side interior door panel. No collision, no structural impact—just flagged on the VIN, unfortunately. Currently registered as a Special Purpose Vehicle, driven only occasionally since the new transmission went in. Always stored under cover and driven regularly enough to stay in great running shape. 💬 SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. This van is ready for someone who knows what they’re looking for—no resellers or dreamers, please. If you understand the value of a properly done Subaru conversion and a solid, well-loved Westy, let’s chat. 📍Located in Portland
