Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Syncro

Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Syncro


Santa Cruz, California (CA), US
The Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Syncro camper van conversion, one of less than 5,000 imported into the United States, began life as a proposal of an 4WD T2 Transporter van after cross-country trips over Europe, but it wasn't until 1985 and 5 T2 prototypes (that never made it to production) when the idea was back on the table, given its more accommodating layout. The drivetrain was developed by Steyr-Daimler-Puch, who had also developed the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. This Transporter has kept a cult following, with many owners tastefully modifying the vehicles (e.g., via companies such as GoWesty), even after production ended in 1992 with 43,468 units built.
