For sale is a manual 1984 Volkswagen Westfalia Vanagon with less than 1000 miles on a rebuilt engine.  Van was a west coast vehicle until 1997 and then came to North Carolina.  As it's never suffered harsh winters the body is in great shape!


THIS VEHICLE IS A ROAD TRIP WAITING TO HAPPEN!

We purchased the vehicle approximately 3 years ago with a dream to drive it cross country as well as use it as a daily driver.  We specifically looked for a vehicle with body in great shape as anyone who knows these Vanagons is aware that a little visible rust usually means a lot of hidden rust.  We were lucky to find this beauty which is basically rust free, and living in his original body and mostly all original paint.

As life happens we were unable to take the time drive cross country. But our Vanagon was taken care of with that intention.  We kept him healthy and happy and road worthy.  

The details:

BODY & PAINT:
rust free and original body
mostly original paint in light cream/yellow option (you sometimes see orange or brown vans of this age, but the light color of ours reflects the sun and keeps you cooler while camping!)
RECENTLY PAINTED the pop top so it's a fresh bright white
hinges- the support arms for pop top when raised- have been reinforced
NEW SEALS around entire pop top
NEW CANOPY is the high end hemp option from Go Westy (costs nearly $500!)

INTERIOR:
set up for twin 12V batteries- so you have power when there is no hookup! The engine charges both batteries! (currently equipped with only the main battery)
swivel captain chairs
all curtains including front privacy drape and rear bug screen included (the screen is great for sleeping at night and getting a breeze!)
stove functional and clean
refrigerator runs on a/c power
all gauges work except tachometer
cd/radio not hooked up but included 

DRIVETRAIN:
1.90L Engine
REBUILT SUMMER OF 2011... LESS THAN 1000 miles on rebuilt engine!
NEW seals
NEW gaskets
NEW rings
NEW pushrods, lifters
HEADS COMPLETELY REBUILT, NEW valves, NEW springs, NEW belts, NEW hoses
NEW fuel pump and fuel filter
Engine was professionally tuned by a local Westy dealer, throttle body replaced
Transmission- flywheel refaced, NEW pressure plate, NEW CLUTCH, NEW throw out bearing, and transmission fluid changed

THIS VAN IS ROADWORTHY TODAY!  IT IS FULLY TITLED IN NORTH CAROLINA, REGISTERED AND RECENTLY PASSED ALL REQUIRED INSPECTIONS!

Here's a summary of what we would do if we were going to keep this van:
1) Air-conditioning:  It was inoperable when we bought it and still is.  Honestly we didn't need it while driving.  The breeze from having the windows down was enough for us- and as these vans are loud, having the windows down made no difference to noise level. Plus while in camp you need a separate a/c setup anyway.  The regular vehicle air conditioning is not for use while camping in these vans.
2) Cooling pipes: They are still the original pipes and we intended to replace them eventually.

Remember, this is a vehicle that is almost 30 years old.  We have stated to the best of our knowledge all of the work done on this vehicle- its strengths and weaknesses. Anyone who knows about these VW camper vans knows they are ALWAYS an ongoing project.  Things are bound to come up that need to be replaced or upgraded.  That's part of the joy of joining the VW camper family! :) But this vehicle is ready to use right now!  If we don't sell it we are taking it camping ourselves!

11M VW diesels affected, Porsche and Audi under investigation

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Volkswagen's diesel scandal is growing exponentially larger. In a new statement, the company admits that 11 million vehicles worldwide might be equipped with software capable of evading emissions testing. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency is beginning an investigation into the 3.0-liter V6 in Audi models and the Porsche Cayenne in the US, according to The Detroit News. The automaker claims that from its investigation so far, the "relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines." However, the company finds that the "noticeable deviation" in test results and real-world numbers only relates to the Type EA 189 powerplant. That still leaves 11 million vehicles potentially skirting emissions rules, though. Governments around the world have started taking a closer look into the company, too. In the US, the EPA has begun testing VW's V6 diesel because "they were certified well before we knew what we know now," Christopher Grundler, director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said to The Detroit News. The agency has started checking diesels from other automakers to make sure they're meeting the rules, as well. Germany, the European Union, and South Korea have instituted similar investigations. In response, VW is setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion at current rates) to cover servicing all of these diesels. The company admits that the figure might have to be adjusted depending on what happens next. The money is being deducted from its third-quarter earnings. Related Video: VOLKSWAGEN AG HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT: Sep 22, 2015 Volkswagen is working at full speed to clarify irregularities concerning a particular software used in diesel engines. New vehicles from the Volkswagen Group with EU 6 diesel engines currently available in the European Union comply with legal requirements and environmental standards. The software in question does not affect handling, consumption or emissions. This gives clarity to customers and dealers. Further internal investigations conducted to date have established that the relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines. For the majority of these engines the software does not have any effect. Discrepancies relate to vehicles with Type EA 189 engines, involving some eleven million vehicles worldwide.

VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit

Wed, Dec 10 2014

We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.

Volkswagen Tiguan arrives with chiseled looks, GTE plug-in model [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

After a long run, Volkswagen has finally retired the first-generation Tiguan crossover in favor of the larger, more chiseled second-generation model. The new compact is longer, wider, and lower than the more upright CUV that came before it. Yet, as we covered in our original post, the new Tig is also over 100 pounds lighter. The bodywork is conservative but handsome; typical of newer VWs. We see plenty of Passat and Touareg in the fascia, which features a three-bar grille that integrates neatly with the slightly canted, rectangular headlights. The beltline looks higher than today's Tiguan, and sits below a more aggressive greenhouse, which is a welcomed change after the soft, crossovery looks of the last-gen model. While VW has only released European powertrain options – there are eight engine options, split evenly between gas and diesel and boasting anywhere from 123 to 237 horsepower – we'll expect a far smaller roster for the US. Look for VW's familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder to feature prominently in both front- and all-wheel-drive models, while we're personally hoping VW will see the light and offer a 2.0-liter TDI Tiguan. Of course, there's more than just gas and diesel for the new Tiggy. The all-new GTE model promises plug-in capability. Expect 31 miles of electric range and 215 system horsepower. There are even solar panels on the roof which could generate up to an extra 600 miles per year of driving range. VOLKSWAGEN REVEALS ALL-NEW EUROPEAN TIGUAN AT THE FRANKFURT INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW Based off the MQB platform, the new European Tiguan revolutionizes the compact SUV • Powerful, authentic SUV design of the new Tiguan was completely reconfigured. • Tiguan is the first Volkswagen Group SUV to be based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB). • Longer, wider, lower – new vehicle architecture enables sportier proportions • Tiguan makes its debut at the IAA in an R-Line version, a classic on-road version and a version with an off-road front end. • Volkswagen is also showing the Tiguan GTE in Frankfurt with a plug-in hybrid drive and 1.9 litre per 100 km fuel consumption. • Newly conceptualised solar roof module for the Tiguan GTE increases its electric driving range. • Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring, active hood, Lane Assist and the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System are fitted as standard.
