1982 Volkswagen Vanagon L Campmobile Van Camper 3-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Ortonville, Michigan, United States
Up of auction is a beautifully restored 1982 Volkswagon Vanagon L Westfalia with 90,396 original miles. When I first acquired the van it was in great unrestored condition with a rust free body. Since then, the van underwent some changes. With an accociate who is a second-generation Volkswagen mechanic and myself a certified mechanic and automotive painter with 13 years automotive restoration experience; together we worked bumper-to-bumper restoring the van to its 1982 factory condition. All of the windows, interior, and pop top were removed. The van then was primed with a urethane based primer, sealer, surfacer, blocked sanded, and painted with a basecoat clearcoat urethane paint. After the paint had cured, the clear-coat was buffed and polished to a mirror finish. We reassembled the van replacing any necessary items, some of these included new seals, pop top canvas, tires, and new chrome. The end product is a beautiful original example of an 82 Westy. Everything on this Westy works as it did in 1982; the interior is original and is in exceptional condition. The stove still has the blue plastic protective coating from the factory that was placed there in 1982. We have seen a lot of westfalia's on the market self-proclaiming to be "mint condition." In our opinion these vans are clean but are a far-cry away from this 82 Westy. With the combination of past owners that loved the van, low miles, a rust free body, and a recent restoration we do believe this one is among the top bracket of 82 Westfalia's available. A $500 deposit will be required within 48 hours of the auction ending via PayPal, will not ship, local pick up only please. We reserve the right to remove this listing. Happy bidding! |

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
