You're looking at a rare, professionally restored 1984 Wolfsburg "Westy" featuring the popular 1.9L water cooled engine. This Wolfsburg is absolutely immaculate and no expense was spared in ensuring a full restoration. We started with a rust free body, fixed any small dents, and repainted to "factory condition" to ensure a glossy shine. It is difficult to find a restored Wolfsburg because it is a lot of extra labor and material expense to perform the factory two tone paint job. In fact, I have yet to see a properly restored Wolfsburg on eBay (besides this one, of course)! We then replaced many of the components with brand new parts from GoWesty and other suppliers including a brand new pop top canvas, chrome bumpers, bumper end caps, hub caps, bumper impact strips, seals, antenna, mirrors, light housings, vents, wiper blades, and so much more (for a full list of replaced parts scroll down). We left the original Wolfsburg emblems on (even though they are a bit worn to say the least), because they are nearly impossible to find and we felt it showed the vehicles heritage and "antiqueness". All in all, we spent an estimated $3,000 to $4,000 in exterior parts and restoration materials with receipts to prove it, and this estimate excludes labor. 

We also cleaned out the interior and added an aftermarket CD player, $250 Lloyd Rubbertite mats throughout, a matching dash cover, and repainted and restored any old or worn looking parts such as handles. Overall, the interior is probably a 8/10 for its age with a few minor imperfections such as small scratches in the dash paint, cracks in the dashboard, and a tear in the drivers seat. The backseat looks like it was never sat in. All interior components such as various switches, stove, speakers, and lights appear to be working and functioning correctly. 

This beautiful Wolfsburg was a special edition Vanagon that was the very first Westy to offer air conditioning. Trust me, on a hot summer day you'll be happy you chose a Wolfsburg edition! In addition to the countless cosmetic repairs and components that were replaced, we performed a thorough inspection of the mechanics of the vehicle to ensure a reliable worry-free ride. We performed a tune up, oil change, coolant flush and fill, wheel alignment, fixed an idling issue, (I have the original heads if you'd like to see them), and fixed a few small odds and ends to get it running like new. The engine was also rebuilt by the previous owner, who gave us the original heads and parts in a separate box. We inspected his work and took it for several test trips and it seems to be running very well. The engine has a solid, steady idle and plenty of power to ensure an enjoyable ride on any fun filled trip! We also replaced the shifter guide bushings and made some adjustments to improve the shifting pattern and eliminate slop. The vehicle also drives straight and has plenty of tread left on all four tires (we meant to take pictures of these, but the location we decided to take pictures at was a bit too muddy...oops). 

Overall, this is a very nice camper with some modern amenities that should make a great vacationing vehicle for a family or group of friends. If you have any questions concerning the vehicle, please don't hesitate to contact us via eBay and we will respond as soon as possible. Happy bidding!

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Let'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.

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.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.
