Come a' Knockin: 2002 Volkswagen EuroVan

What we knew here in the States as the Volkswagen EuroVan was technically the 4th generation of the Transporter / Type 2 / Bus / Kombi / etc, but was the first of the classic bread loaf VWs to have its engine and drive wheels up front, finally ditching the rear/rear setup of old. In its day it confused consumers and auto journalists alike, who couldn't quite peg it as the classic quirky Wolfsburg formula any longer, but it was also too tall & boxy to fit in with the rest of the FWD minivan crowd. From the perspective of 2016 we can see it was an early foray into the compact space efficient modern European van formula, which has crept its way into the US commercial & passenger vehicle landscape and is here to stay. Find this 2002 Volkswagen EuroVan for sale in the greater Los Angeles area, CA for $5,800 via craigslist.

Green Monster: 1980 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter DoKa TDI Swap

The Volkswagen Type 2 was revamped in the 1980 model year and became what is known as the T3, or Vanagon for the US Market.  Today's example started life as a European born Transporter and spent some time as an army vehicle for the German military.  Thankfully, Germany didn't try to conquer the known world for a 3rd time in the 20th century and that means this next vehicle isn't riddled with bullets or covered with evil insignia.  Find this 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon DoKa TDI here on eBay bidding for $8,675 with 1 day to go, located in Portland, OR.
