Look at this yellow single cab beauty. Unlike yesterday’s dropped Vanagon that someone named “Shorty,” this single cab looks short in another way. Don’t the wheels look closer together than normal? Everything about this one is top notch. The rear bed’s side panels are short and look how nice the black is. It has a toolbox in the back, and a hidden V8 engine.

We missed this Vanagon in our “How low can you go” post a few months back, but here is a T25 Vanagon “shorty” I found on Pinterest. It has a very nice two tone paint job, and of course you’ve got to love those VW Bus hubcaps. But for the fact that this Vanagon is dropped, it looks almost completely stock. It doesn’t even have tinted windows.
If you look closely, one of the reasons it looks so clean is it doesn’t appear to have any rear seats.
The Vanagon is like a toy car in many respects. Many Vanagon owners do a lot of work themselves because it’s relatively easy to repair the Vanagon. Removing your dashboard however, is a very tricky task. It takes hours and hours even if you don’t know what you’re doing. Some guy named Ben has created a little “how to” section to his website, complete with step by step photos. If you plan to remove your dash, do yourself a favor and check out this website. You won’t regret it!
I’m not sure why, but I think this one should be called the “Junk Yard Dog.” This guy is not interested in fancy paint or pristine anything. He wants the baddest Vanagon on the planet to get the job done. I just love this Vanagon! Everything about it just screams “Junk Yard Dog.” Look at the size of those wheels. What about the front bumper? Even the paint job screams “junk yard.” Click through for a few more pics.
Is this a Vanagon or a buggy? It’s probably both, but if so much of this van has been removed, can it still be considered a Vanagon? I love the cooler mounted above the engine. The rear tires are larger than the front tires, and it looks like they have customize the dash.
This is one of the most complete all terrain Vanagons we’ve seen. This one hails from the Czech Republic and was apparently built for a tour of Africa. Trying to list the mods and hacks on this one is a never ending adventure. Check out the horns mounted on the high top and the extra large size view mirrors. What about that massive front bumper with winch? It also looks like it has some kind of chimney exhaust coming out the rear. This is a Vanagon lover’s dream machine!
