Hmmm, those are not Vanagons, not even Volkswagens. They are Volvo
B202's. That's a quite capable mid engined 4x4 produced in the 60's for the
Swedish army. Was superceeded in the 70's by the c303 and c306, which
was more complicated and rusted out faster. About the only advantage
with the newer series was the optional 6cyl VW diesel engine. The carbed Volvo
gas engine never had much low end torque.
