This black beauty is could almost be called an A Team van, but it doesn’t have the red stripe. I love the custom grill and 70’s wheels, but the white roof rails caught my eye. If you zoom in close you can see the light brown interior. The steering wheel actually looks like wood in this pic.
This is your basic Vanagon, but I love it. The Samba user, snwbrdr435, posted it. It’s a little rough around the edges, but the South African grill and custom wheels really make this one. I also love when Vanagon owners make use of all the space including the roof. The rocket box on top with what looks like surfboards adds such a nice touch as does the spare tire on the back hatch.
This birch interior is custom made and apparently sold by shjoinery.com. Their website seems to be defunct, but I hope they are still selling these cabinets. They look great! Their website states:
Here is a 15mm birch ply full length cabinet, CNC cut in house these units are a great low cost unit but built with best quality materials and components. Comes with all fixtures and fittings to fit this into your bus.
All units are sanded and fully scribed to the bus, we work on these busses daily and have have fitted these into several vans to ensure a good fit.
Check out this VR6 Syncro conversion. It’s the ultimate adventure vehicle. Check out the link below for the engine.
The Buying a Vanagon blog is a pretty good primer on what to look for when buying a Vanagon. You will still get more specific advice from reading through the GoWesty library, but this blog does provide a good place to start. Now on to the Vanagon they use on the front. Awesome! I don’t even need to describe it. Just look at it! She’s ready for anything.
