This camper runs so good, I can hardly believe it.
This van is ready for a very easy restoration, or leave it as it is as a survivor.
This is a 99.9% rust free Volkswagen high top camper.
The conversion is done by a company called Sundial.
Here are the specifics.
BODY:
The body is in 99.9% rust free condition. I have taken a picture of the only spot of rust that I have found. It is the size of a silver dollar. This van is as clean as they come. The body is super straight. I have taken photos of any obvious body damage. The crease in the door happened as the man was removing it from the yard where I bought it. There are only 3 dents that I know of and a little tiny bit of old filler on the nose, which is very common. This vehicle is in superb condition for a restoration or a daily driver as she sits.
PAINT:
The paint looks alright, but is faded. This was a repaint to make it blue. The van was originally red. The door jams are still red.
RUST:
99.9% rust free!!! Photo of only spot that I found. Arizona car.
INTERIOR:
This is a walk thru cab. The seats are complete but do need to be re-upholstered. The wood for the interior camper conversion is complete, but will need to be refinished or use the panels for templates. The sink unit is still there and appears to be usable with just a little cleaning and maintenance.
ENGINE:
The engine runs beautifully. No smoke, no ugly sounds. The van fires right up and drives like a dream. Very solid engine. 1600cc dual port engine.
TRANSMISSION:
The transmission is the standard four speed manual transmission. It shifts through the gears like a bus should.
TIRES:
The tires still have the nibs on them. The do have a tiny bit of dry cracks on the side, but they are very tiny. You decide to change them or not.
TITLE:
Yes, I have a clear open title from the company that I bought the van from. It is clean and clear and NOT a salvage title.
STORAGE:
If the van is paid for in full I will store the van for up to 3 months free of charge. I will not take any responsibility for anything that may happen to the van during this time.
SHIPPING:
I will assist in loading the van, but all costs associated with the shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. I do occasionally drive from Arizona to Florida. If we come to an agreement, I can deliver the van anywhere along the I-10 for a previously agreed upon price. Call first to make a deal.
QUESTIONS:
Feel free to ask any questions. You can call me at 602-625-1579 Thanks, Pete

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
