99% Rust-free 1981 Vanagon Project Vehicle on 2040-cars
Essex, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1981 VW Vanagon. I believe I am the second owner of this vehicle that has spent most of it's life in Missouri. I bought and drove
the Vanagon up from Missouri to get a project vehicle that was rust-free. There is NO structural rust on this vehicle and it has not been in any accidents according to CarFax. There is a small spot of rust on the corner of the windshield and the rear hatch window. The interior is worn but useable. I have two good front seats that are from a later model Vanagon that should bolt right in. The front door seals and window rubbers are worn, but I have a set of front doors from a later-model vanagon that has very good seals and rubbers that are ready to install and paint. A brand new GEX Powermaster engine with all of the performance options was installed (by the local VW dealer) about 5 years ago and has very little mileage on it. The engine cost me about $3000 and the installation ran about $1300. Beyond that, here is a partial list of new parts installed as I was working on the restoration. New Gas tank. New fuel pump and fuel pump relay. New brakes. New brake and clutch master cylinder. New Bilstien shocks front and back. New Clutch package. New full coverage rubber front floor mats. Front Grill. New battery. New brake and clutch footpads. GT Performance Exhaust. Also included is a header-type quiet pack exhaust. This is a good solid vehicle that would probably be back on the road with little effort. What you are bidding on is a good 99% RUST-FREE southern VW with a brand new engine and many new parts. This will need to be shipped or picked up locally |

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
