For $19,000, This 1984 VW Vanagon Asks, Have You Driven A Ford Lately?
Let’s get one thing out of the way up front, today’s Vanagon is NOT a Syncro, even though it looks like one. It is lifted, and it rocks a Ford four in back. Let’s see if all that can get you in sync with its asking price. Robert Frost had...
