I so love this truck. This is exactly what I want, but the prices are insane for DoKas already registered in California, especially restored triple-locker 16" Syncros like this. Unf.

And it’s TDI swapped!

Whaddya think one would ask when that’s done? 90K?

What would you haul in it? Do you think it would fit a subaru sambar truck in back?

Even with the missing viscous coupler, that’s easily a $50K Vanagon.

It just might. I've driven this a few times now, and can safely say it would meet 90% of my truck needs. With the TDI, I'll bet it'd tow my little cars around just fine.

Nah, that's fully built syncro Westy money. This is probably worth 50-60k. Insane in any case. I'd be happy with a beater 2wd, but even those are $15-20 k now.

Which is about what he was thinking of selling it for last year, but I'm pretty sure he has more in it.

What is that hydraulic fitting and heat exhanger mounted in front of the radiator?

The AC hoses (if it had it) come in and hit the condensor from the bottom, so it’s not that. Is it an oil cooler?

Must be, I've actually never seen it with the grille off and didn't look close today. Will check in the morning.

I’m guessing it is, too. A few guys have put an intercooler up front (below), but not many. Some put it in the engine compartment like the Doka you posted.

A lot of others put the oil cooler underneath the van (or in the engine compartment, too)

Eww, not for that! I’d have trouble spending $5K for it. But maybe after a few valve bodies and top repairs you will have that $ ;)
