1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia, Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westphalia Weekender, Wolfsburg Edition. THIS IS A PROJECT VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT RUN. 62,477 original A box miles (yes, you read the
mileage correctly), with clean title in my name. 1.9 liter, 4 speed, PS, PB, A/C, dual
batteries, mini-refrigerator. I’m the
second owner, having purchased it from the original owner’s family in 2010. It has not run for at least six or seven years,
and will obviously need some work to get going.
At some point pack rats made their way into the engine compartment (but
not the interior) and chewed thru a lot of the wiring. The crankshaft does turn over by hand. One area of thru rust (see photo) and some
scale on the underside, but other than that pretty clean. No accidents, but some minor dings and
dents. Original paint shines quite
nicely, the interior is in very good condition with no cracks in dash, and all
the glass is good. Pop top canvas needs
to be replaced. Never smoked in. I started on a restoration but have too many other projects
at the moment, including an old Honda CB that’s caught my eye. Comes with a complete set of new fuel lines
(fuel tank reseal kit A, fuel expansion tank/gas tank grommets, and fuel line
replacement kit with firewall adaptor - $230) from Van Cafe, factory repair manual, owner’s manual, two spare rear
coil springs and new cover. I pulled the
fuel tank and had it cleaned out, resealed and painted; I began removing the
radiator to have it flushed out, but never got around to it. It certainly needs some work, but it’s all stock and has very low miles. For a few grand
and some time it could be really nice. I’ll be listing this locally so I reserve the
right to close the auction at any time.
My feedback is 100% positive over 13 years and I’d like to keep it that
way; as such, I would really prefer to sell to someone who can come and look at
it in person. See photobucket link below for more pictures; I'll be adding as I have time. If you want pictures of something specific
let me know. http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/gd44elle/library/Vanagon?sort=3&page=1 |

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
