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!

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.

Volkswagen Group recalls 281,505 VWs and Audis for fuel leaks

Fri, Oct 7 2016

The Basics: Volkswagen Group is recalling 281,505 total Volkswagen and Audi brand products in the United States for potential fuel leaks. Certain versions of the Audi A3, A6, A7, Q5, and Q7 are affected. In addition, some versions of the Volkswagen Golf, Golf SportWagen, and Golf GTI fall under the recall. It's unclear if vehicles outside of the United States will be recalled as well. The Problem: There are actually three separate recalls for three separate issues that all pertain to leaky fuel. All three recalls were issued simultaneously. The risk of unintended ignition is the main concern here. First off, 2012-2013 Audi A6 and Audi A7 models [28,249 cars] are being recalled because of a degrading fuel hose in the engine compartment. Secondly, 143,214 gas-powered 2009-2012 Audi Q5s and 2007-2012 Audi Q7s are being recalled. The fuel cap may crack on these vehicles, leaking fuel. Finally, 110,042 total units of the 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf, Golf SportWagen, GTI, Audi A3 sedan, and A3 Cabriolet will be recalled because of fuel leaking from the evaporative emissions system. Injuries/Deaths: According to Reuters, Volkswagen has reported no injuries or deaths related to the fuel leaks. In addition, the company has said there have been no fires started due to the leaks. The Fix: Three separate issues means three separate fixes. Volkswagen and Audi will be reaching out to customers soon, though the parts aren't yet available. For the A6 and A7, Audi will simply replace the under hood hose. For the Q5 and Q7, dealers will clean the pump flange and install a butyl rubber band to protect the pump. Finally, the affected Golf and A3 models will have the suction cup in the emissions system replaced. If you own one: Volkswagen and Audi will begin contacting owners starting next month regarding a fix. Related Video: News Source: NHTSA, Reuters Recalls Audi Volkswagen
