1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl, 1.9l, 4-speed, 165k on 2040-cars

1985 Volkswagen Vanagon GL, 1.9L, 165K 5-spd My Dad and I bought it with the intent of making it into a project car and occasional camper, but have decided to focus on another project and must free up space in the garage. Until 2011 the van was in Virginia, garaged in NY after that, which probably explains the clean wheel wells and frame rails. The van starts and runs, but begins smoking out of the exhaust once warmed up. The good: - The engine, and all the accessories are dry - no leaks on the ground - Transmission shifts through the gears well - Oil is clean - no signs of head gasket failure - Matching Cooper/Douglas tires in the front/rear, respectively, about 50%, good condition - VR-3 AM/FM/CD/USB/Aux in-dash unit with after-market speakers - Turn-signals/headlights/marker lights/brake lights all work - All dash lights work on ignition, no warning lights on when engine is running - Interior lights operational - Wipers/washer operational - HVAC cannot be tested - missing knobs - Interior could use good vacuuming and a shampoo, but is in pretty good shape otherwise - For the year, exceptionally rust-free and clean wheel-wells, underside, and frame rails - Official Factory Repair Manual included w/ sale The bad: - Rear hatch struts need to be replaced - A dent in the rear bumper - Surface rust on the inside of the rear hatch - Some dents on the body (see pics for more details), some are covered up in spray-paint (not an exact paint match) - Bumpers are missing end-caps: front left/right, rear right More pictures are available upon request. |

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.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A 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...
