FOR SALE: 1990 Volkswagen Westfalia Vanagon GL

We had no idea how much we would love travelling and living in this van when we bought it five years ago. It has taken us from coast to coast in Canada, the United States and into Mexico. Oh, the places we’ve been and the people we’ve met because of this van. The time has come however, for this adventure mobile to be loved and enjoyed by a new owner. 

We have every maintenance record since it’s purchase by the first of three owners. The van was restored and painted VW Ravenna Green in 2016. The van was hit in the back corner, passenger side just after the restoration and was repaired and repainted by the same company.
