1984 Vanagon G.L. in very good condition for its age. I am the second owner, having purchased it from the estate of the first owner about four years ago. I have the origanal window sticker. Owned by non-smokers.  I did an engine conversion about 3 years ago, replacing the 1.9 four cyl with a G.M. 2.6 V-6 that now has about 20,000 miles. The automatic trans was rebuilt a little before that. I used a Kennedy Engineering adaptor. Also replaced at that time were, radiator and plumbing, all brake components, front wheel bearings, high tork starter(also form Kennedy), The engine has  a mild mid-range grind cam and lifters, a 650 C.F.M. Edelbrock carb, Edelbrock tork master intake, and custom duel exhaust. This bus can cruise at 70 all day and will climb any hill with ease, and still gets 15-17 MPG( about the same as the 4 cyl). More recent new parts include, aternater, belt, and battery. The engine and drive train are in excellent condition. I painted the van at the time of the conversion, there are some minor rust issues and some scratches and dings now( check out the pictures). There is a recently developed front end problem that needs attention. The upper control arm bushings on both sides are worn. The van is stilll driveable but will need this issue adressed. I have the bushings and they will be included with the van. Also included is every thing  else needed to overhaul the front end. Upper and lower ball joints, new shocks, new lower control arm bushings, complete tie-rods, new steering rack boots, and front radius rod bushings. I don't have the patience, or time to make the repair. Thanks for looking, I will be glad to answer any questions. The buyer is responcible for the shipping or movement of the vehicle, must be moved within 2 weeks of payment in full. A $500.00 deposite to pay pal within 24 hours of auction close, balance due within 2 weeks. vehicle not released until balance paid. Cash or Certified check cleared. There is no Warranty, sold as is, where is.

VW CEO under fire after emissions scandal, stock slide

Mon, Sep 21 2015

Pressure piled on the head of Volkswagen on Monday in the wake of an emissions-testing scandal that's seen around 15 billion euros ($16.9 billion) wiped off the company's market value. Following revelations that the German carmaker had rigged US emissions tests for about 500,000 diesel cars, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn apologized Sunday for the fact that his company had "broken the trust of our customers and the public." But saying sorry wasn't enough for investors as they digested the financial and reputational implications of the scandal on the world's biggest carmaker by sales – in mid-afternoon trading in Frankfurt, Volkswagen's share price was down a stunning 17.8 percent at a near three-year low of 132.15 euros. Earlier it had tumbled by more than 20 percent. In the wake of Friday's revelations from the US's Environmental Protection Agency, VW has already halted sales of some vehicles in the US and pledged to cooperate with regulators in an investigation that could, in theory, see the company fined up to $18 billion. Industry analysts said the VW CEO faces difficult questions in the coming days, particularly when the company's board is scheduled to meet Friday. "At the moment, I'd be surprised if Winterkorn can ride this out." - Christian Stadler "At the moment, I'd be surprised if Winterkorn can ride this out, but in Germany there's often a slightly slower process in these matters," said Christian Stadler, a professor of strategic management at Warwick Business School who researches the car industry. Stadler said that if VW were a US company, then the CEO would have gone more or less immediately. In essence, Volkswagen stands accused of skirting the US's clean air rules. The EPA said VW used a device programmed to detect when the cars are undergoing official emissions testing. The software device then turns off the emissions controls during normal driving situations, allowing the cars to emit more than the legal limit of pollutants. Guido Reinking, a German auto expert, said that for a company to engage in such blatant trickery the company's top executives would have to be informed. Winterkorn, an engineer by training, led research and development across the VW group from 2007. He became chairman of the management board the same year. "It's almost impossible to imagine that he didn't know about this special way of programming the engine," Reinking told German television station n-tv.
