1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia, Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westphalia Weekender, Wolfsburg Edition. THIS IS A PROJECT VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT RUN. 62,477 original A box miles (yes, you read the
mileage correctly), with clean title in my name. 1.9 liter, 4 speed, PS, PB, A/C, dual
batteries, mini-refrigerator. I’m the
second owner, having purchased it from the original owner’s family in 2010. It has not run for at least six or seven years,
and will obviously need some work to get going.
At some point pack rats made their way into the engine compartment (but
not the interior) and chewed thru a lot of the wiring. The crankshaft does turn over by hand. One area of thru rust (see photo) and some
scale on the underside, but other than that pretty clean. No accidents, but some minor dings and
dents. Original paint shines quite
nicely, the interior is in very good condition with no cracks in dash, and all
the glass is good. Pop top canvas needs
to be replaced. Never smoked in. I started on a restoration but have too many other projects
at the moment, including an old Honda CB that’s caught my eye. Comes with a complete set of new fuel lines
(fuel tank reseal kit A, fuel expansion tank/gas tank grommets, and fuel line
replacement kit with firewall adaptor - $230) from Van Cafe, factory repair manual, owner’s manual, two spare rear
coil springs and new cover. I pulled the
fuel tank and had it cleaned out, resealed and painted; I began removing the
radiator to have it flushed out, but never got around to it. It certainly needs some work, but it’s all stock and has very low miles. For a few grand
and some time it could be really nice. I’ll be listing this locally so I reserve the
right to close the auction at any time.
My feedback is 100% positive over 13 years and I’d like to keep it that
way; as such, I would really prefer to sell to someone who can come and look at
it in person. See photobucket link below for more pictures; I'll be adding as I have time. If you want pictures of something specific
let me know. http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/gd44elle/library/Vanagon?sort=3&page=1 |

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
