1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl Westfalia Camper Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Glendale, Arizona, United States
|
This is an all original rust free desert dry Volkswagen GL Westfalia camper. This factory conversion camper van is fitted with the optional uplevel Wolfsburg Edition trim, and it was the top of the line Volkswagen factory camper for 1984. It features the plush interior cloth seats with an extra bench seat in the middle of the cab. This is a running operatiing Vanagon with the water cooled 4 cylinder engine, manual transmission and air conditioning. The tires hold air and the transmission shifts well through all the gears. It has a sink, stove, and refrigerator. There is a rip in the rear bench seat cushion and a small sunroof sectional panel is missing. This vehicle has seen infrequent use for the past several years and requires a complete engine tune-up and other periodic maintenance to restore reliable roadworthiness. There are some tears in the pop-up tent near the front fastening zipper. The gas struts which hold the rear hatch in the up position are weak and require replacement. As seen in the pictures, there are dents in the body on both sides, the rear bumper and right rear tail light need replacements. The raised fiberglass roof panel appears to be in excellent original condition. This Vanagon is an excellent candidate for simple restoration or customization to individual taste. If you have read this auction this far, you know that sound rust-free Vanagons for restoration are difficult to find. When restored, they are very practical and efficient recreational vehicles. When the reserve price is met, I will include shipping to southern/northern California or Utah. $500 non refundable cash deposit by wire is due within 24 hours of the close of auction with balance by wire or cashier's check within 7 days for release to shipper. |

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
