I built this car to keep busy over the winter of 2011,using what I learned from previous Vanagon to Subaru conversions. I bought the car off thesamba site from California. The guy I bought it from got it for the Raby built type IV motor and tranny, which he removed and installed into his '67. I had the car shipped to me with no motor or transmission. 
It now has a 1993 Subaru 2.2 and"NEW" Rancho tranny with 3:88 r/p,It uses the stock ECU. No engine codes other than an intermittent "canister purge" code "because it is not wired". Engine has in the 80k miles range, but I cannot verify this to be fact. I did, however completely re-seal the motor to include new head gaskets, ft/rear crank seals, cam seals, new timing belt, valve cover gaskets. Has a new Burley Motorsports shortened oil pan. No leaks no drips. 
Suspension all new..bearings, urethane bushings, Topline MaxxStruts, frt/rr sway bars, 4 wheel discs drilled for Mercedes bolt pattern, SwayAway adjustable spring plates, etc, etc. 
Fully functional factory sunroof. Creative Carcraft widened fiberglass fenders with early style headlights. 
Carbon fiber Kamei style air dam done by "Carbon Joe" in California. Those of you "in the know", realize how difficult it is to get hold of one of these done by Joe. I was fortunate enough to contact him at the right time.

Owned by a 55 year old VW enthusiast. 
This car is an absolute blast to drive! Cruises 70mph at 3200 rpm...redline is 6500rpm. 
It is a daily driver and mechanically sorted. I've taken it on trips over 200 miles and in city traffic. Excellent cooling with all aluminum V8 radiator and aluminum tubing. 
I am continually adding to this car with some finishing touches. Just added a leather wrapped vintage period accessory steering wheel...see photo. There is a removable face head unit to go with the car which is not installed at this time. This is a rear seat delete and I am working on a package shelf for that area. There is a Vanagon under rear seat heater installed in the back with a 3 speed fan. 


Note: Please ignore the date of the photos taken during the build. The camera did not have the correct date set at that time.

I can email more photos directly of any specific area needed to be seen. Of course in person is the best way to see the car and I encourage a first hand look.
I can put you in touch with people who previously have bought my project cars and Subaru powered van. We keep in touch and have become friends in the car hobby.

This will be a great buy for the right person looking for a fun and dependable daily driver which can be taken to the "next" level!!

VW suspends sales in South Korea ahead of government meeting

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Volkswagen and Audi have announced they will suspend sales of 79 different models in South Korea ahead of a meeting with the country's environmental ministry. VW will halt sales starting on July 25, the same day that its officials are to sit down with the South Korean environmental ministry, which will likely punish the German company. The Wall Street Journal reports that Korea's response to the situation will likely come in the form of an outright sales ban on Volkswagen products by revoking certifications on 79 different models based on 34 different vehicle types. Affected models include the VW Golf, Jetta, and Tiguan and the Audi A3 and A6, the WSJ reports. Essentially, it looks like VW is merely trying to get out ahead of the South Korean government. If the revocation goes through, it'd likely lead to fines and a relatively large recall of around 79,000 vehicles, the WSJ reports. Despite the dreary forecast, Volkswagen reaffirmed its commitment to the South Korean market. "This decision doesn't mean that Volkswagen is pulling out of Korea, which is a very important market to us," a Korean rep for the company said in a statement. "We'll reapply for certification of our cars if the government revokes it. The process may take several months." While Volkswagen's diesel emissions testing scandal is part of the problem, South Korea is taking a harder line than a lot of other countries. Authorities indicted a Volkswagen exec on charges of submitting falsified emissions documents and noise tests last week, while separately, Korea's trade watchdog is considering criminal charges against execs, according to the WSJ. Banning VW Group sales in South Korea isn't quite as dramatic as if the company stopped sales in China, the United States, or Germany, but it's still going to sting. VW Group products (including Bentley) represented around a third of European cars imported by South Korea last year.

Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life

Sun, Nov 12 2017

If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price – is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack — here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio

VW CFO Hans Dieter Potsch nominated as new board chairman

Fri, Sep 4 2015

The search for a successor to Ferdinand Piech has come to an end as the Volkswagen Group has nominated a new chairman. The Executive and Nomination committees of VW's Supervisory Board have put their weight behind one Hans Dieter Potsch, who currently serves on the company's management board as its chief financial officer. He's expected to continue in his current role until November when an extraordinary general meeting of the supervisory board can be called to confirm his nomination and a replacement CFO can be found to take his place. As you may recall, the chairmanship of the Volkswagen board fell until recently to Ferdinand Piech, grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and one of the principals of the Porsche family that holds over 50 percent ownership in Volkswagen through Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Piech went head to head with VW CEO Martin Winterkorn and ultimately lost. Piech resigned and Winterkorn is about to have his term as chief executive extended through the end of 2018. In Piech's place, former union head Berthold Huber was named as interim chairman, but is now referred to in the statement below once again as deputy chairman instead. An Austrian native, Potsch is an industrial engineer by training. He started his career at BMW where he ultimately served as group controller, and subsequently served as CFO and as chairman at a number of German corporations. Potsch joined the VW management board in 2003, initially without portfolio, and soon assumed the financial portfolio – a role he has held until now. In 2009 he took on the additional role of chief financial officer at the Porsche holding company, whose supervisory board representatives are the parties proposing Potsch's nomination as the group's new chairman – even though he is not, strictly speaking, one of their own. In a related development, it appears that Julia Kuhn-Piech will be leaving her board seat sooner than expected. The departing chairman Ferdinand Piech opposed his niece's nomination to the board in his place, and now she'll apparently be stepping down to make way for the family's new choice of chairman.
