Condition: The major plus of this vehicle is it is all original (not many like it left). Stove, sink/faucet, refrigerator, two burner stove top are in working order. Lots of cabinets, shelves and a large closet. Driver and passenger seats and upholstery in great condition, as well as the two front chairs swivel for a living room type feel. The canvas in the pop top was installed brand new when I bought the van 4 years ago and is in great condition. Rear bench seat that folds down to a double bed as well as wider bed under pop-top (sleeps 4). Closable screens all-around. Luggage compartment, front, top of vehicle. Outside connections for city water and electricity. Propane tank and filler connection. There are a couple minor details to note. The refrigerator latch recently broke, an easy inexpensive fix. The rear wall panel has a slight rip, yet the overall interior is in good shape. The windshield has a crack that extends the lower part of the window. The knob on the right window roller came off, but still works fine. Extra Features: Stereo CD. Auxiliary battery that automatically separates from vehicle battery when parked, yet charges again when camper is started with primary battery. This battery powers refrigerator, lights, etc. to be used when not driving. This feature also gives the driver the option to jump the main battery if and when needed, so as never to be stranded. The VW Camper mechanical aspects saw many changes over the years, 1980-1991. The beginning of 1983 was the last year of air cooled engines, and this vehicle is one of the first water cooled VW Vanagons which is a lot better than the air cooled sister vans. This Camper is for someone who is looking for a fun vehicle and wants to experience a Camper for having years of wonderful camping trips. History: I bought the van from Northwesty in Washington 4 years ago and had most servicing done there, including a new fuel line a year ago. The rear brakes were replaced a few months ago at Wedge VW in Phoenix, AZ. Due to the servicing (about 3,000 miles per year) and regular maintenance, makes this a clean running vehicle. It has been thoroughly gone through and all mechanical issues have been repaired. The Vanagon camping models are becoming increasingly scarce and one that is all original is hard to find.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
