1980 Volkswagen Westfalia, full camper package. Solid van, spent most of it's life in California, then moved to Wisconsin before I brought it to Ohio. This is the first year for the Vanagon, since it replaced the Bus.

I have too many Westies at this point to tackle this project. The van has no rot or major rust anywhere. The camper is 100% complete. It even has the rear mosquito net in new condition! I was going to part this out for the rest of my Westies, but it's way too solid and it would be a waste to do so.

The entire camper package is there, and it's in great shape. This camper features sleeping for 4, stove, sink, liquid propane refrigerator, lots of storage, electrical outlets, swivel front seats, etc. The camper top has NO holes in it! The top bunk is nearly mint. Everything works as it should. The camper top even has a newer seal around it. The interior could use a thorough cleaning. The driver seat is well worn.

The motor will need a new head, piston, and jug. Everything else on it is fine. The engine is partially dismantled, and you can see where the damage is. Everything needed for the motor is included, other than the required new parts. Also, I have a turn-key 2.0 fuel injected motor that is rebuilt, with new heads. It is available for $1,500 if you would like it. It has everything mounted, including the computer. Just lift it in and bolt it up.

The exterior looks as if it sat and baked in the California sun. There is surface rust throughout the exterior, but to rot or holes anywhere. The underneath is pretty much spotless.

See the link to 49 photos below. I do have a "buy it now" price in mind, just ask. Please consider that this thing is easily worth at least a few grand just in parts, so I think my "buy it now" figure is reasonable. Come and get it!!

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
