It is time to let go of my 1985 Volkswagen Westfalia. I purchased it from the original owner/family. I have done alot of work to make it road trip ready with my wife and 6 year old. We recently went to the east coast and back with no issues. The engine runs great, doesn't burn oil or leak. The manual transmission shifts like new. It has 153k on it and the odometer and speedometer still work. The AC works fine and has had alot of work done. I have made several upgrades over stock. I have also added AC to use at the campground with a panel that mounts in the passenger window. The Ac unit is 12k btu and 8k btu heat, both work good. Its sleeps 2 above and 2 below. This vanagon drives great, and will go 65-70 all day long. So before anybody asks, yes it will drive home. It has been a fun vanagon and gets lots of looks and compliments. Even though its not perfect cosmetically it is clean. I will list the work done below. All parts listed as replaced have been done in the last year and 2,500 miles.
Engine- original 1.9l runs great, heads resealed by previous owner. In the last year parts replaced: plugs,wires,cap, rotor, rebuilt throttle body by rocky jennings, intake manifold and plenum painted w/por 15 and new gaskets, fuel injector seals, all fuel lines and clamps, removed and painted and installed new grommets/gaskets/lines on fuel tank, idle control unit, oxygen sensor, fuel filter, muffler and tail pipe, just changed the oil w/ mobil one synthetic.
Transmission- greased all bushings, changed gear oil w/ proper brad penn oil, new slave cylinder. added shifter extension, quiet, shifts smooth.
lights/electrical- lights work, wipers and washer work, signals work but for some reason the rt. blinkers don't flash when the headlights are on.
interior- new north westy tent this spring, sunbrella material color taupe, 3 windows, cd player 4 new speakers, new german waeco 12v fridge, works great, runs quiet, keeps popsicles frozen, works 30 degrees out of level-made for boats, keeps 2 half gallon containers in door, made custom panel and door below for more storage, supposed to run for 3 1/2 days on battery. new agm deep cycle battery under rear seat, power max charger, blue sea fuse panel under sink, yandina combiner/separator, so it charges off alternator, also won't kill the starting battery sink works great w/ electric pump, extra 12v added in cabinet near rear seat for my daughter to watch movies, 4 point harness added for children safety, previous owner had a cb radio at one time so there is a block off plate added in dash and extra ant. on passenger side,
AC- removed and resealed ac unit, new expansion valve, drier, high pressure line, resealed compressor, new ac/fan switch, filled w/ redtek, 12v fan added to help get air to the front, can also be used to cirulate at night.
Wheels/suspension- Mercedes clk wheels w/aluminum Wolfsburg caps, new Pirelli extra load tires, new front an rear shocks, new upper ball joints, 12 mm spacers, new lug nuts, bolts, studs, new power steering rack and tie rods installed a couple of years ago by previous owner, new rear wheel cylinders and all soft brake lines, drives and handles tight.
Body/paint- wild 80's graffics and repaint which is not that great of quality, It hasn't bothered me since it is used for camping and I won't shed a tear if it gets scratched. It has its share of nicks, scratches, filler, filler in the front right and passenger door, pass. door has to be slammed shut, filler in rt rear, another spot in the left rear from previous owner's neighbor backing into it. The filler is from dents/damage, the chassis is solid and not rusty,no major rust, some small spots at some seams all areas pictured, I sprayed brown paint of spots so they won't stand out as much-pictured as well
parts removed- I removed the propane tank, it is included if requested. It will need painted and the valve updated. The original fridge is included if requested, it is like new but these fridges are small and don't work that well, I also have the original panel. The stove is there, I was going to add an adapter to run 1 lb propane tanks but never did,always used a Coleman stove
I have a 1980 westfalia for parts for an additional $500 if the buyer wants it.
I can assist with delivery after payment if I can haul it to and from in a day for the expense of fuel.
I may add more, I have retyped this 4 times and stuff disappears.I will add Saturday and take pics of the portable ac unit.
Shipping is up to the buyer. It can be stored here no problem. If you are from europe you will have to get your own shipping quotes. You can call during the day at 615-604-2567. I have a clean title in my name.
On Aug-31-13 at 07:02:01 PDT, seller added the following information:
temp II sensor, temp gauge sensor, intake boots were replaced on the engine as well, picture added of AC unit. I have spent several thousand dollars in maintenance and upgrades.

Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.

Giorgetto Giugiaro launching new design firm
Mon, Sep 21 2015Giorgetto Giugiaro may have sold his remaining shares in the Italdesign firm he started, but he's not about to retire from the business altogether. According to an interview with Automotive News Europe, he's starting a new design consultancy. And he's taking his son, Fabrizio, with him. After working for established design houses Bertone and Ghia, the celebrated designer founded Italdesign Giugiaro in 1968. In 2010 he and his son Fabrizio sold 90.1 percent of the firm to the Volkswagen Group, with Fabrizio initially carrying on as its chief designer before Wolfgang Egger replaced him. Just months ago, the Giugiaros sold their remaining stake and resigned their seats on the board of Italdesign. The move came hot on the heels of the departure of ousted board chairman Ferdinand Piech, a longtime friend of Giorgetto's and the driving force behind VW's acquisition of Italdesign. Just because they're no longer affiliated with Italdesign Giugiaro doesn't mean, however, that the Giugiaros won't be designing cars anymore. They're reportedly working on establishing a new design house, and are discussing potential contracts with unnamed Chinese and South Korean automakers. The father-son pair could set up shop in a refurbished existing location (as the pragmatic Fabrizio favors) or build a new studio from the ground up (as the visionary father prefers). We'll have to hold on to see what direction the new firm takes, but most of all, we'll be looking forward to seeing what designs it produces.
