Background Story of this 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon

Overview of 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon For Sale by Owner

The 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is a nostalgic nod to a generation that valued freedom, exploration, and life on the road. Finished in a charming cream yellow with a cozy brown interior, this classic camper van has been thoughtfully updated with a host of recent improvements to keep the spirit of adventure alive. With its 2.0L inline-four engine and automatic transmission, it’s as practical as it is iconic. Whether you're chasing sunsets down the coast or setting up camp in the woods, this Vanagon is more than ready.

Exterior and Interior

This Vanagon’s cream yellow paint gives it a warm, vintage vibe that’s hard to resist. On the roof, the iconic Westfalia logo remains proudly visible, a symbol of its authentic camper heritage. The vehicle rides on original-looking steel wheels with hubcaps, staying true to its factory aesthetic while maintaining functionality. Recent exterior upgrades include a new pop-up tent for extended camping convenience, a Howling Moon awning with side and front panels, and new exterior utility ports for water and electricity. Additional updates include a new front windshield and window seals, fresh reverse and brake lights, new CV boots, new headlights, and a set of brand-new tires. Inside, the brown cabin retains its vintage charm and includes seating, a table, and a convertible bed. It benefits from a series of thoughtful enhancements too. A new radio and speaker system modernize the soundscape, while updated interior charge ports offer convenience on the go. The living space remains functional and inviting, a perfect retreat after a day of travel. The pop-up tent allows for extra sleeping room or ventilation, adding to the camper’s practicality.

Engine

Powering this classic is a 2.0L flat-four engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering a relaxed and steady driving experience. The current owner reports a new transmission, a replacement blower motor, and new cylinder rod and bearings—all key improvements to ensure mechanical longevity. With 155,000 miles on the odometer, this Vanagon has been well-loved and well-maintained, with recent work that prepares it for many miles ahead.

PENDING SALE
$27,499
SOLD

Do you love camping, but prefer to take your home with you? Yes, we know that sounds like a turtle but the automotive equivalent is a camper. You can find campers that can be towed behind your regular vehicle, as well as those which can be driven in their own right. They can even stretch into the length and width of a full-grown bus, and offer you a five-star hotel-esque experience (minus the staff, unless you’ve got those as well). But what if you want something a bit more compact? Something easy to drive and park, something that won’t break the bank, something that won’t be a pain to turn around in case you need to? In that case, this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper from Lakewood is an ideal candidate. Based on the hugely popular Volkswagen T2 Transporter series, it’s no surprise that it makes for an excellent camper. You’ve got plenty of conveniences and features that you wouldn’t expect to fit in a vehicle of this size. Plus, its 215,255 miles show that it’s quite an enjoyable thing to behold! If you find the mileage daunting, don’t. These vehicles are built to last decades, and they’re superbly easy to repair and maintain too – you’ll be amazed at how little is taken from your wallet!

$55,000

Hang on…wasn’t the Volkswagen Type 2 or Kombi a Sixties and Seventies symbol? Of course it was, and in Germany at least, it was made from 1967 to 1979. But in Brazil, production kept going until as late as 2013! That’s what this 2013 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus Last Edition is, a celebration or a last hurrah to a vehicle that shaped countless lives across the world. This bus has traveled a light 20,117 miles and currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Oh, and if you can’t tell by the photos, it’s got a Martini Racing-style livery, too! We’re told that it totes a reupholstered leather and alcantara interior, an aftermarket sound system, and more.

PENDING SALE
$55,000

One of the most iconic and influential vehicles of all time, the Volkswagen Type 2 microbus is an icon of love and freedom. Popularly used as camper conversions, the Type 2 was made from 1967, all the way up to 2013 in Brazil! Yes, you could get a Type 2 well into the 2010s, despite German production ceasing in 1979 to make way for the new Transporter range. Today’s 2011 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Camper Bus is likely one of those Brazil-made machines, with its custom plaid camper interior, full wood camper cabinet system and built-in compact refrigerator. It’s traveled just over 110,000 miles and is up for grabs in Orlando. So if you’re the type who likes to go touring, but stay in your vehicle, this is the perfect candidate.

PENDING SALE
$17,499

The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car. Engineered with exceptional structural rigidity and advanced safety systems for its time, it delivered a refined open-top driving experience that emphasized comfort, stability, and long-distance usability. With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.

Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.
