This Westy is in good shape with clear title and doesn't need much to hit the camp sites. Body is straight with newer paint that looks good. Was a Florida and North Carolina Westy. Engine has new seals and runs great with great power! Oil and transaxle fluid has been changed. The Weber carb conversion is a big upgrade, the old primitive fuel injection computers were notorious for quitting on you, the simpler the better basically. Carb could use a rebuild, I have to feather the gas when I drive it around the block, also gas pedal linkage could use some attention, it comes off the back of the pedal sometimes and seems loose. Has electric fuel pump with manual cutoff switch. 4-speed manual transmission has all the gears, linkage is squeaky and a little stiff but gets better each time I drive it. Clutch is good. Brakes work but pedal travel is low. Not sure about emergency brake. Brand new OEM ($400) tent for the pop up top comes with (see pic), current one has holes, and roof seals have been replaced, no water gets in. The appliances are all there and are clean, never tried to put propane or water in it, but was told they work, can't guarantee. Heater hoses are disconnected from heat exchangers and the controls are back in the dash like some one was about to remove them. Interior and dash is the original and not all torn and cracked but is a little worn and faded. Seats pivot properly. Window tint is getting old and faded and looks like someone started to remove it from the drivers window. Tires have been replaced and are very good quality. No stereo but has a cut-out for a modern one along with 6x9 speaker cut-outs under the rear bench and 5.25 cutouts in the doors. All glass is good. Battery is tired, it dies after a couple days of being charged, I usually put my truck battery in it if I'm driving it around my neighborhood or messing with it. I have most of the electric working
Please feel free to ask any questions you have. I have described this the best I can and have not owned this long but would be glad to go look at something specific for you and take a picture. If you would like to talk on the phone, send me a message and I'll send you my number. Vehicle sold as-is with no implied warranty, buyer is responsible for arranging shipping. This is basically an easy and even drivable project depending on how nice you want to make it. Body, Interior and engine are better than most Westy's you see!!!
I noticed on the last trip around the block that the odometer isn't working so mileage is unknown, I also noticed that the history report shows 166,000 in 1994, so I don't know if the odometer was reset after an engine install, or if the gauge cluster was replaced (most likely scenario) or if it stopped working a while ago and that was an estimate. Needless to say mileage is unknown.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
