VW van with 3.2 & 915

I didn't know that this thing existed, but I'm happy that it does.

While one hears about engine transplants replacing the 3.2, one rarely hears about vehicles the 3.2 was transplanted into.

As a current vanagon owner, I can confidently say that there is *no* vanagon on this planet worth $380k to me.

That wasn’t the idea. It was a contemporary to the 959 for which it was developed as a support vehicle.

Local Seattle Porsche specialist Denny Aker has a vanagon with a full 930 swap as his shop van.
