It never says Westfalia built these. If yuou read further into the question and answer section he says Westy "enthusiasts" from Argentina built them.

Kind of makes you want to get an old Dodge van and put a "Westfalia" sticker on it to see what you could fetch on ebay. "Designed by a Westfalia enthusiast!"

I guess they wouldn't have dare said "Volkswagen enthusiasts" and added the proper logo since VW is pretty agressive about copywrite infringements--even in Argentina. In fact a VW attorney just knocked on my door seconds after I wrote that last sentence. He was with another guy from Dodge. Maybe this get rich quck scheme won't work, but there's a fortune to made over at ebay I tell you--a fortune. Even PT Barnum would be impressed.
