1982 Volkswagen Vanagon L Campmobile Van Camper 3-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Ortonville, Michigan, United States
|
Up of auction is a beautifully restored 1982 Volkswagon Vanagon L Westfalia with 90,396 original miles. When I first acquired the van it was in great unrestored condition with a rust free body. Since then, the van underwent some changes. With an accociate who is a second-generation Volkswagen mechanic and myself a certified mechanic and automotive painter with 13 years automotive restoration experience; together we worked bumper-to-bumper restoring the van to its 1982 factory condition. All of the windows, interior, and pop top were removed. The van then was primed with a urethane based primer, sealer, surfacer, blocked sanded, and painted with a basecoat clearcoat urethane paint. After the paint had cured, the clear-coat was buffed and polished to a mirror finish. We reassembled the van replacing any necessary items, some of these included new seals, pop top canvas, tires, and new chrome. The end product is a beautiful original example of an 82 Westy. Everything on this Westy works as it did in 1982; the interior is original and is in exceptional condition. The stove still has the blue plastic protective coating from the factory that was placed there in 1982. We have seen a lot of westfalia's on the market self-proclaiming to be "mint condition." In our opinion these vans are clean but are a far-cry away from this 82 Westy. With the combination of past owners that loved the van, low miles, a rust free body, and a recent restoration we do believe this one is among the top bracket of 82 Westfalia's available. A $500 deposit will be required within 48 hours of the auction ending via PayPal, will not ship, local pick up only please. We reserve the right to remove this listing. Happy bidding!

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
