1984 Volkswagen Hightop Vanagon Camper for Sale in Seattle, WA 98105

This 1984 Volkswagen Hightop Vanagon Hightop Camper made by Adventurewagen is powered by a 2.3L Gowesty motor paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It's an amazing vehicle and is a head turner but after 13 years of adventure we have to part ways as I am building out another van and can't keep them both. This is a great camper van!

Highlights:

• Upgraded to 2.3L Gowesty Motor--lots of power up the passes and not a frankenvehicle (VW mechanic friendly)

Mileage on motor: 17K Vehicle: 177K

• Upgraded to 5 speed tranny with 1st gear being 1/2 granny gear. Great for climbing steep roads and 5th gear is amazing cruising down the highway

• Rocky Mtn Westy bumpers with tow hooks

• Cattle guard on the front bumper to save your life and serves as hammock post while camping

• Swing away tray on rear bumper for extra fuel, water, ice chest, etc.

• Bright rear led light added to actually see when in reverse

• Thumping Pioneer system with amps, 6 speakers and 8' sub plus bass knob--nice!

• RMW Front door storage kit--really handy

• AGM battery (expensive!) fitted under driver's seat for aux. purposes

• Sound deafening treatment to most areas

• Gowesty alloy wheels

• BFG Offroad tires--upgraded to bigger size

• 4 studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires all on Gowesty alloy wheels--great traction on snow and ice

No need to swap wheels--free snow tire changeover at Discount tire

• Rugged steel snow chains

• Brand new paint job with original retro colors

• Classic plates--never pay for tabs again

• Double slider windows and windows above that open--great air flow and so nice

• Air conditioning

Adventurewagen features:

• 2 bed system, one up one down. Couch converts to bed easily. Full sized futon plus is room for 3

• Pop-up table

• 2 burner cooking setup by sliding door is handy with pop up cook station and nice in good weather

• Fridge/freezer--electric

• Lots of storage

• Plenty of lights

• Swivel chair in passenger seat

• Solar shower--I never tried it myself

• Koa woodwork--way nicer than Westy interiors

• Wood floors--just refurbished

• Heater--propane fueled nice when super cold out

• Skylight that opens

• Windows galore and curtains

• Upper bed makes fantastic storage

• Large storage over cab

Good to know:

• Found a rust spot interior rear window

• Heater is moody sometimes

• Stove is dated and could be swapped

• I made modifications to some of the inefficiencies of the Adventurewagen interior--made more room for the bed, removed old scary aluminum water tank in favor of storage. Area can be reconfigured as desired or go back to original.

• Muffler has a leak--I have brand-new stainless-steel lifetime warranty ready to go

• Good thing/bad thing--this van draws a fair bit of attention. All little kids will point at you and wave.

Too many upgrades to recall/list all. If it needed anything I paid to keep it well maintained and ready to go.

Most mechanical components have been swapped out and upgraded, including fuel system and radiator.
