Ellis gave up looking for an affordable Synchro Westy
with dry heads, no digifant problems, enough power, a
tranmission that does have a breath robbing downshift
drop-off difference between 3rd and 2nd gears while
yet retaining A/C. So I stole a 1984 Toyota Land
Cruiser FJ60 for $1850.00! =) I'll be placing my
trusty 1963 EZ Camper on the market soon. Wife and I
will retain the '67 Westy and Puck trailer thereby
keeping us in the VW family.
On the LC email list someone pointed out the new
Unimog pdf format brochure on the web. Now can we make
it a Dormobile and call it good? Definite right lane
material for sure! =) Would make an automatic diesel
Westy with a full load seem like a drag racer. What do
you all think?

I found that VW didn't build the first 4x4 camper van.
Check out this link (go halfway down the page to the
