This is my personal van that I've poured tons of money and time into in the last few years. It's a very reliable machine and has been modified fairly tastefully as far as these go. I've driven this all over my state and rehabbed most of the things that break over their years of owner neglect. I will not sell to anyone outside of the continental United States. I will not assist with any form of shipping at all. The winning bidder must deposit 500.00 via PayPal with the remainder due in person upon pick-up of the vehicle.
1991 vanagon carat in pastel white interior excellent shape with no staining on the upholstery. The rear mattress has a small cigarette burn and the slider door card is missing -all else is in great shape. The interior was removed before pergo was laid down to give a finished "wall to wall" look. Dash is perfect with no cracking, all gauges work as intended. Oil temp and pressure gauges are added to the lower dash to aid in engine monitoring. Stereo-Sony iPod ready head unit with custom door enclosures housing 5-1/4 and 4" speakers along with relocating the window switches. Everything now works as intended. Door window switches roll the windows up as intended without having to do the gowesty mod (I disliked it). New 4" speakers are located in the rear factory locations and Sony 6x9" are located in the hatch. The stereo now has eight total speakers and everything stays with the van. Brakes-fronts are Mercedes sl500 2 piston calipers with vented rotors. This involves a stud conversion kit so no more wheel bolts up front. Rotors are @60mm oversized 16"wheels are necessary for this van. Stopping power is excellent. Rears are eurovan discs. This solid disc uses a caliper actuated parking brake that holds great. All brake parts have @. 4000miles on them and are still practically new. Wheels/tires-wheels are audi a4 16" alloys these have been properly machined to fit. Proper length press fit rear studs and threaded front studs were bought to make these a safe fitment. Tires are cooper rst 60,000 mile tires 98t load just purchase from sears in June. These are also nearly new. Suspension steering-new shocks, upper a-arm bushings, ball joints, used Westy springs to lift 2", new inner tie rods, new outer tie rods, rebuilt rack and pinion, aligned 6/30/2013, new power steering lines, new rear wheel bearings (zerked), new cv boots packed. Transmission-gasket kit this trans is a cleaned and inspected unit that has been resealed from a donor with 151,000miles on it. It was very clean inside no metal. A 1990 trans that does not hack e the defective 3/4 slider issues. Used trans installed with new clutch, synthetic fluid, machined flywheel. Engine-new gowesty billet thermostat housing, stainless water pump pipe, stainless oil cooler pipes, coolant hose kit, new injectors, new belts, new tune up kit, new oil sensors, new o2sensor. Runs very well oil pressure and temps are kept within range . Just a strong running stock water boxer. This has vw heads on it (not amc) but there are obvious signs of a reseal being done on it. I've run it for 2000 miles and bee impressed,the previous engine owner stated it was rebuilt within the last 80k. Hvac-new rear heater core, front blower motor, a/c drier and expansion valve. Things that don't work- Rear hatch and slider central lock motors do not activate. Both fronts do. I never looked into anything else further to pick it apart. Extra central locking parts come with it. Cruise control is sketchy. Sometimes it kicks out on you. Those are the knowns. I have been all over this van. I just can't put any more money into it. Bottom line is I have too many projects and I have to cut my losses. Winning bidder gets my receipts for over 4000.00 that I can account for along with two previous owners worth of documentation. Please only bid if you have the money and means to come get this. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla truck's close call, Tesla age discrimination suit
Wed, Oct 5 2016A semi with a trailer full of Teslas has a close call on the highway in this video. With a half-dozen electric vehicles in tow, the truck has to swerve onto the shoulder as a commuter bus nearly hits it after crossing multiple lanes. An example of human error, this near miss is the type of thing Tesla would like to prevent by advancing and widely deploying autonomous vehicle technology. Watch the heavy-duty mishap in the video above, and read more at Teslarati. A former Tesla engineer is suing the automaker for age discrimination. 69-year-old Thomas Flessner, who was fired from his Materials Engineer position in February, says he "was isolated due to his age and routinely chastised for completing projects slower than his coworkers." The suit claims younger engineers working at a similar pace were not subject to the same criticism. Flessner encountered further problems after taking time off for surgery, when a supervisor told him, "these guys are gunning for you." Read more from Fusion. Audi has placed orders with Ballard as part of Volkswagen Group's HyMotion fuel cell technology program. Audi has taken over responsibility for Volkswagen's program to develop its next-generation fuel cell stack. Ballard is providing engineering services to the automaker until at least March 2019. "Our HyMotion team of engineers and scientists are collaborating closely with Audi's experts and together we are on-track with respect to key technical and financial goals set for the current year," says Ballard VP of Technology and Product Development, Dr. Kevin Colbow.

"The rise of car sharing can be attributed to a changing paradigm of demographics, social preference shifts towards usage of vehicles instead of ownership, and technology that enables the seamless short term rental of vehicles," says Frost & Sullivan Principal Mobility Analyst Martyn Briggs.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
