Beautiful 1990 Westfalia Camper. Extremely clean and reliable. Motor converted to 2005 Subaru 2.5L using all Small Car Performance parts. It’s amazing how much fun it is to drive with almost double the horsepower of the stock motor.
Being able to hold speed and pass trucks in the hills. . ..priceless! Check out the link for complete details of the engine transplant process. http://www.weidefamily.net/vanagon/Files/ConversionParty/JosephBromley/slideshow.html

Power Adjust Mirrors
AM/FM/CD Radio w/ Sirus capable and IPod connection

The van is in exceptional shape for being 25 years old, but is a ‘driver’ and has some small imperfections from being on the highways.
I’ve absolutely enjoyed traveling with this great van on multiple trips across the country, up and down the east and west coasts.
The power and reliability of the Subaru engine made it a wonderful experience. My wife and I have purchased an Alto Safari Trailer, for greater comfort, and it’s time to let my beloved van go to someone else who will love it and use it.
The van now has 129K miles on the body, engine has around 109K (had 60K when refreshed and installed in van), lots of maintenance documentation and receipts for all the upgrades.
