Vw 1985 Westfalia Vanagon Camper on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:103186 Color: is exceptional for its age
Location:

Up for auction is my 1985 VW Westfalia full camper. This is a re-listing.

This van is a clean running, good looking vehicle. It is almost a rust free vehicle. The undercarriage shows no rust damage and the exterior is exceptional for its age. As far as I know, it is the original paint job. The interior is clean and has all the original parts. Just look at the pictures. I had 2 different garages look at the vehicle and they were both impressed with the van. 

This van has a rebuilt 2L GoWesty engine with less than 6000 miles on it($6000) and recently tuned. It has a recently installed Bilstein shocks in the rear.

There were a number of people that asked to see the van in person when I initially listed it but the van was at the garage so I stopped the auction to give those who wanted to see it a chance to look at it.

I wanted the person who wins the auction to be happy so I decided to do addition work on it. This is what was done to the van in the last few weeks:

-Cooling system diagnosed- thermo switch replaced for cooling fan, complete cooling system flushed, pressure tested for leaks, inspected belts, hoses and test radiator cap.
-Checked starter circuit, replaced starter assembly
-Brand new NAPA battery installed
-Pop top roof was removed and cleaned
-New GoWesty design tent was installed
-Set of new Yokohama tires installed (P215/65R15) to existing 

If you want a better Vanagon, go check out the ones in GoWesty.com. You'll suffer from "sticker shock." My van is not the same as GoWesty's but it's in pretty good condition and it's one of the best I've seen in the east coast. 

I bought extra parts that will be included in the auction: oil filters, curtain hooks, fuses, stickers, repair manual, and some other misc. items. I put full rubber floor mats to protect the floor.

This van is sold "as is' and no warranty. This vehicle is 29 years old and I took care of it the last 3 years(replaced broken or missing pieces). It is not perfect and you should not expect it to be. Personal inspection of the vehicle is encouraged. Bring your mechanic!  

Serious bidders only! Good luck bidding.

Please do not email about reserve price. Keep bidding and you'll know when it meets the reserve price. 


One of the picture has the wrong tire size. It's correct in the main description. P215/65/R15.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
