Wasserstopper Equipped: 1980ish Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia
Welcome to Daily Turismo’s Syncro de Mayo, our May 5th celebration of Volkswagen’s four wheel drive system known as Syncro. Those pop-top Westfalia camper things used to be cheap and easy to run on a budget, but some kind of nostalgic hypnosis has convinced people they are worth somewhat more than scrap value, and you’ll find people asking insane amounts for these small Syncro equipped campers. However, DT’s tippers are good at finding the diamonds in the rough like this next thing. Find this 1980ish Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia offered for $11,000 in Port Orchard, WA via facebash marketface. Tip from Zach Z.

11k is still a hefty price for an old van. I'd still love to get a van someday day for a weekend camper/road trip wagon.
