Description

1986 Syncro Westfalia Vanagon Subaru

Beautiful well-maintained 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro Camper (tilt-up poptop). 5-speed manual transmission (gears 1-2-3-4 plus “super-low” for steep grades) 2.2 L EJ22 Subaru engine 16” Mercedes alloy wheels 189 000 miles. Collision-free.

Full Westfalia Camper package

A two-owner vehicle. All manuals present.

The 4WD Syncro allows this van to travel on many 4 wheel drive roads.

We would drive this van anywhere with complete confidence. Unlike stories we have heard from other Vanagon owners our vehicle has always been very reliable.

Our family has taken many camping trips throughout Colorado and the southwest in this vehicle. We owned other VW Westfalia campers before this one but this was our dream camper because of the Syncro with manual transmission of course we love the color. However we’re getting older and have only used it 10000 miles in the last 4 years. (It runs better than we do.) While we pursue some other more distant travel opportunities we want another person couple or family to be able to enjoy this Westy as we have for the past 18 years.
