 1987 VOLKSWAGON VANAGON GL CAMPER

 

I have owned this VW camper since 1997.  It is the deluxe Vanagon GL model, the classic Westfalia camper.  I used to use it for camping locally many times a year.  It was used for family camping at places like KOA.  It was used instead of a tent when I was participating Boy Scout events.  Now that I am 84, I have not used it for camping for several years.  I drive it weekly to keep it maintained.  I realized that I need to sell it, but have procrastinated for some time, trying to decide whether to refurbish it to “factory fresh condition” or allow someone else to enjoy it.  This is an “as-is” sale.

 

                                                            CAMPER – TAILGATER - VAN

This is not only a super van to take your family camping or on a picnic, but would be a great tailgating vehicle as it gives you the full use of a kitchenette and “lounge” and only takes up one normal parking space.

 

Last year the motor overheated and I had it replaced with a used engine.  It necessitated replacing the exhaust gaskets.  It runs fine now, but the motor has low oil pressure after highway driving, but otherwise is fine.

 

CAMPING FOR (4) ADULTS

The upper and lower “mattresses” are intact and quite comfortable.  The original Westfalia kitchen equipment, including sink, refrigerator and propane stove, are well designed for camping. They have not been used for years and probably need some repair.  The canvas top over the upper bunk area is in generally good shape. Front seats swivel and have a small table between them. The rear bench seat, which converts into a double bed, also has movable table. Bench seat has seat belts for rear passengers. Pop-up section allows for full height movement inside van.

 

Van has 360 degree privacy curtains, in very good shape. Also included are the rear insect screen and front privacy curtains, not in pictures.

 

Cosmetically, the van is in great shape. The exterior has no rust spots or body cancer. Paint is original and in reasonably good condition, except for minor scratches & dings, see pictures. Most of the plastic trim is showing typical aging, shrinkage. All tires have good rubber. Original jack & lug wrench included.

 

If you are looking for a classic VW camper to enjoy or restore, this one would be awesome.

Despite EV push, Audi will lead hydrogen for VW Group

Thu, Mar 10 2016

The cynics among us will assume that Volkswagen Group would rather not affix its flagship brand name to its main hydrogen fuel-cell efforts in the wake of that German automaker's diesel-emissions scandal. Instead, there's less of a taint in having those efforts led by VWs Audi division. And that's exactly what's going to happen, reportedly. Audi will lead Volkswagen's way towards selling hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles to the general public, Automotive News Europe reports, citing comments Audi's new development head Stefan Knirsch recently made at VW headquarters in Germany. That first effort may come in the form of the H-Tron Quattro concept SUV that Audi unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January. That model is slated to have a 373-mile range on a full tank of hydrogen (using the optimistic European driving cycle) and includes a rooftop solar panel that can add 621 miles a year via sun rays. And true to Audi's performance-driving bent, the car will offer up to 282 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, for a 0-62 miles per hour time of under seven seconds. Audi will also look to cut production costs by reducing precious metals such as platinum in fuel-cell stacks. As for plug-in vehicles, Audi said at last November's Los Angeles Auto Show that as much as 25 percent of new Audis will be plug-in vehicles by 2025. A month later, Audi said that the A3 E-Tron, which was launched in Europe in late 2014, was already accounting for a quarter of Audi sales in the Netherlands and Norway.

Volkswagen bringing new Tiguan to Frankfurt

Sun, Sep 6 2015

As expected, Volkswagen will introduce the new Tiguan crossover at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. While the brand hasn't quite gotten on the endless teaser train, VW's German Facebook page has released a simple shot of the new crossover covered up on the Wolfsburg factory line. We're not able to learn much from the single image released by VW Deutschland, as the sheet being used hides virtually all the body's details. The caption for the image is no help either, simply saying that the first Tiguan for Frankfurt has rolled off the Wolfsburg line. So yeah, that's about it. But while this image isn't terribly informative, we already know quite a bit about the new Tiguan. Its looks will likely be inspired by the Cross Coupe GTE and CrossBlue Concepts, while additional body styles could be offered later in the CUV's life. For performance fans, there will likely be a 300-horsepower R model, in addition to the standard array of gas and diesel engines. Check out the image from VW Germany's Facebook page, and then be sure to head back in a few weeks for the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
