Exterior and Interior

Looking at this 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Bus and its two-tone brown exterior, you would mistake this for a museum piece. The exterior colors bring out that classic 80s feel and scream road trip. The exterior is in great shape, with all its components accounted for. Giving this classic Volkswagen bus its iconic stance is a set of classic period-correct silver BBS-styled wheels. We weren't exaggerating when we called this 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Bus a museum piece; if the exterior doesn't convince you, the brown interior makes you travel back to the 80s. The interior sports all its original components, from the black Volkswagen steering wheel all the way to its original meter cluster. Among all the factory features is a Panasonic sound system for your tunes.

Engine

Picture this: you are driving across picturesque views with loved ones by your side, and you need a reliable motor to make the trip and cut down on the roadside stops. Powering this 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Bus is the suitable motor for the job; make your way to the rear of this classic German bus, and you will find a 2.0L inline-four powertrain capable of purring along no matter the occasion. The current owner reports new cylinders and a recent oil change to ensure smooth performance. Power is sent to the vehicle's rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission which reportedly sports a new clutch for crisp gear shifts.

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!
