 Great aircooled Vanagon Westfalia

These great cars are getting harder and harder to find. Here's your chance to become a member of an exclusive community!

Recently on a 10472miles roadtrip all across the states this great little camper has seen almost any corner and every hill of the country!

If it has always been your dream to take a roadtrip to all the national parks all over the country, this is the perfect mini RV for you. Fit in any parking spot and have your house with you, nice little fridge and sink and plenty of cabinets to store all your camping needs! And the best you can even sleep four adults in two seperate beds!

But I'm sure if you're reading this you already know all about the westys ;) so lets talk about this one!

The goods:

-low mileage only 106.000miles
-spent her life in the sunshine State Florida so almost NO RUST
-clear Title
-turn key and go wherever you want
-very clean engine
-new Douglas tires + alignement front and back
-new fuel pressure regulator
-tricky stuff like the computer and airflowmeter are tested with good ones and work
-new air, fuel and oil filters + oilchange
-all fluids topped up
-no boiling radiator or seized-up pistons as its aircooled!
-nice original chrome wheelcabs
-new fuelpump
-new cylinders and valves on engine left side!
-fridge and sink work
-new driveshaft
-new coldstart injector if you're planning to bring her somewhere cold ;)
-replaced all steeringcouplings with new ones
-new Distributor and ignition parts
-CD-radio
-all gauges and lights work
-new 'bright light' headlights
-new valvecover gaskets
-not leaking any oil!
-18MpG
-original Westfalia propane tank to run the fridge and stove
-several relais replaced
-front seats sviwel 360°
-if I can drive over 10.000miles all around the country in just 2 months you can too!
-Sidewinder awning in perfect condition
-comes with alot of useful equipment like extension cords, waterhose, tools, fishing rod and more
-offer includes an impeccable La-Z-Boy recliner chair super comfortable
-more that i count to general regular service
-available for testdrive and inspection


The bads:

-large temperature changes over the day can cause tank to draw a vacuum which ocasionaly requires you to open the gascap before the first start of the day
-no aircooled VW should be driven faster then 65mph!
-I replaced the original 30 years old mattress for the top bed with a new memory foam mattress  (kept the westy covers)
-the leg for the front table is missing
-the left burner of the stove is not working, maybe easy maybe not, I only needed one so I never found out ;)
-the fridge is nice to have but the don't get really cold like all westys
-sliding window lock on the right side doesn't lock
-nickel-sized rusthole under windshield on the right side
-pop-top canvas has a rip, which is taped up
-as I wrote in the goods she is a Florida car, but the turnside is that the humidity loosened parts of the paper roofceiling, I used to have a flag pinned on the roof to cover it up, but If you're more ambitious this should be one of those DIY things ;)
-crack in the front bumper plastic edge
-like all old cars they require alot of attention and care, but they are unique little cars and well wort your while!




I'm not making a living selling Vanagons, so this one here will be alot cheaper then any of the professional dealer ones like from GoWesty, but I took good care of her for the short time I had the pleasure to own a real Westy and am proud to have toured the states in a real classic, but all good things must come to an end, so this is your opportunity to buy a roadtrip-tested Westy and do that trip of a lifetime you always wanted, or simply use her for the weekend camping trip, no matter your plans there's no better car for them then the great Vanagon Westfalia!
Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and special picture requests, even a roadtrip-report ;)

Thanks for reading and happy bidding!



btw: on the rockerpanel picture the little colourful little things are magnets to prove that there is no body fill anywhere
and I hope you understand that I had to put a reserve price to my absolute minimum, but please feel free to bid, you might be eligible for a second chance offer if she doesn't sell ;)

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs

Thu, Jun 3 2021

We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons: Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain — like Toyota — do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis: 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy   2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.

VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
