 THIS 1982 VOLKSWAGEN VANAGON “L” WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE IS POWERED BY A FUEL INJECTED, 2.0 L ENGINE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY CLEAN, ORIGINAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT. THERE ARE VERY FEW VANAGONS AS NICE AS THIS DRY, TEXAS WESTFALIA. 

THE FRAME IS STRAIGHT AND SOLID AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST OR COLLISION DAMAGE. THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUST FREE AND IN GOOD SHAPE.  ALL THE HINGE AND DOOR SILL AREAS ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. EVEN THE ORIGINAL SERIAL NUMBER STICKER IS STILL ON THE DRIVERS DOOR JAMB.

THE VEHICLE’S ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND REST OF THE DRIVETRAIN ARE IN GOOD /TOP FORM TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. HOWEVER, LIKE ALL VANAGON CAMPERS, ABOUT $500 -$800 MAINTENANCE IS CALLED FOR. AND THE PRICING/RESERVE HAS BEEN SET WELL BELOW THIS IN ORDER FOR THE NEW OWNER TO BENEFIT FROM THE PURCHASE AS-IS. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS PRESENT, BUT THE MOTOR IS DISCONNECTED, THE BRAKES NEED SERVICING AND CV AXLES NEED MAINTENANCE, AND ONE OF THE MOTOR SEALS ( MOST LIKELY VALVE COVER GASKET) IS  LEAKING A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF OIL. THE ODOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING JUST RECENTLY, HOWEVER THE MILEAGE READING OF 124K SEEMS TO CORRELATE WITH THE CONDITION OF THIS WESTFALIA.

ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT MAKES THIS VEHICLE TRULY STAND OUT IS THAT IT STILL SPORTS THE ONE YEAR ORIGINAL TO WESTFALIA ONLY, FACTORY BLUE PAINT. THIS COLOR IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC AND ATTRACTIVE COLOR EVER OFFERED ON A VANAGON. THE MAJOR EXTERIOR BODY PANELS ARE STRAIGHT AND PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH GOOD, GAP FIT AROUND ALL THE DOORS AND HATCHES. THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES AND SCRAPES ON THE PAINT BUT THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED FOR THE YEAR/MILEAGE.

THE FACTORY ORIGNAL INTERIOR SHOWS THE SAME QUALITY AS THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR UPHOLSTERY AND TRIM PANELS ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT TO GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS VECHILE HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE.

THE POP TOP FUNCTIONS EASILY AND FLAWLESSLY AND THE TENT HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS. ALL THE APPLIANCES FUCTION AS THEY SHOULD AND THERE IS A HIGH END ECLIPSE FOUR SPEAKER STEREO SYSTEM WITH DUAL AMPLIFIERS.

THE TIRES HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD AND IT HAS AN OPTIONAL TRAILER HITCH.

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network

Tue, Jul 6 2021

Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. Β“It is the joint aim of EuropeΒ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement.Β  "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.Β” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
