Beautifully restored white 1971 VW Adventurewagen.  approx. 250 miles on a 1.7 liter (74mm stroke by 85.5mm bore) engine running ported and polished dual port heads with a custom valve grind, forged, counterbalanced crank, dual Weber 34ICT carburetors, deep oil sump, large external oil cooler with thermostatically controlled fan (on at 170 degrees F.), rear anti-sway bar (dramatically decreases drifting in crosswinds), powder coated Porsche 928 rims, powder coated front and rear bumpers, halogen headlights, dual battery set-up with state-of-the-art isolation technology, entire braking system replaced with new parts (including power brake actuator), front beam completely rebuilt with new tie rods and ball joints, new rear axles and CV joints.  Interior is very clean with new headliner up front, refinished wood panels in rear, all lights working, refrigerator works on both 110VAC and 12VDC, stove works, fully pressure capable water system works.  We took this camper all the way to Seattle Wa. Last summer and camped along the way.  It was a great experience.  We documented an average of 20 MPG the whole way, and even in 100 plus degree temps, the engine ran cool.  The "stroker" motor does an amazing job climbing grades and leaves other busses in the dust.  Everywhere we go, we get thumbs up and people taking pictures.  


I have receipts for $11,300 specifically invested in this vehicle.  This amount doesn't even include the amount spent rebuilding the engine since that was paid for by the prior owner.

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

We'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.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
