The full list of aftermarket parts installed on this van is below.Service records shown in the gallery detail most of the repairs and maintenance performed on this Vanagon since 2010. The canvas top was replaced in March 2021, and the seller states he recently changed several parts in the ignition system (including the spark plugs).Volkswagen released the Vanagon for the 1980 model year to replace the Transporter, which traced its roots to the original Bus launched in 1950. It kept its predecessor's rear-mounted engine, but it was longer, wider, and characterized by a boxier design. 1983 brought a water-cooled engine, and production for the American market ended in 1991, though Volkswagen continued selling the model in South Africa until 2002.Power for this Vanagon comes from an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat-4, rated at 67 horsepower and 101 lb-ft of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission.
