You are bidding on a 1983 water-cooled Vanagon L.
I'm the third owner of this van originally from Florida. Previous owner says motor was rebuilt with aprox 15XXX miles on it. I can't put my word on this, but it's evident the motor has been removed from tranny. I have, however, replaced head gaskets. When doing such, inside of motor was extremely clean. Headers have very minute carbon buildup, rings looked new, rods were straight, etc. '05: clutch plane, 02 sensor, temp sensor, coil '07: front rotors, calipers, slave cyl '08: rear cv axle, ign wires, injection cleaning, fuel pump '09: starter '10: fuel filter, water pump, thermostat, intake gasket, alternator '13: head gasket, plugs, dizzy cap, rotor, valves, injector o-rings, static timing, battery Carpet and canvas have been pulled, but I have laminate flooring for it. It has very little surface rust with a bit eaten through at rockers. There is a small exhaust leak at connection/linkage. Runs, shifts, stops well. The cooling system needs to be flushed, and for that reason it will need to be towed. Has trailer hitch, stove, sink, cabinets, storage. Of the many campers I've owned, I have never used propane equipment. But, it is all in tact. Has aftermarket AC with all lines front to back, but there is no unit in engine compartment. Buyer will be responsible for pickup. It is on the market locally. If it sells locally, this listing will be removed. If you are local and would like to make an offer, feel free to get in touch. I'm open to any questions. Please e-mail prior to bidding with any concerns. |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
