It's most likely an "Adventurewagen," made by Adventurewagen, Inc., in Fort
Bragg, CA.  Although the company is still in business, the owners switched
to Fords after the introduction of the Eurovan.  The company has
historically acted as an informal broker for used vehicles, so if you are
interested in the Vanagon conversion you might give Ed Andersen there a
call.  There is also a basic web site - I don't have the URL handy, but
searching under the company name will get you there easily.

The fiberglass top adds 18" to the van height, for an approximate height of
8.'  The fact that I, at 6'1", can stand up inside, is the envy of my
Westie-owning friends.
