I thought you all would dig this. This unassuming '81 Vanagon came in this morning to get a good once-over before a trip this weekend.
  The current owners are a Bellingham couple who purchased it long ago from local Bellevue Porsche legend Denny Akers.   This was his family car back when new and of course he couldn't leave well enough alone. It's been converted to a 2.7L -6 with CIS done right.     I can tell you that this baby is NOT underpowered anymore!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
