Up for sale is a 1984 Vanagon Stretch Limo! This unique vehicle started life at two '84 Vanagon GLs that came together to create an incredible machine.

The goal was simple: create the ideal road trip machine. Every step of the process included strategic improvements to achieve that goal. When splicing the donor vehicles, two high strength steel beams were welded into the unibody frame channels creating a super-strong chassis with which to work.

It is currently set up to seat 7 but with the installation of the included extra seats it could happily seat 11! The rear sliding door opens as usual and the front once can be easily removed for loading cargo or camping.

Installed in the bus is the rare automatic transmission, but the auction also includes a manual gearbox to suit the buyer's preference.

After completing the drivetrain and triple testing all essential systems, some friends and I loaded up for a test drive.

The 1.9 engine provided more than enough power to get the van up to cruising speed, it handled beautifully, and stopped assertively.

While climbing a hill, we heard a loud "pop" and lost power. As it turns out the torquey little boxer engine had sheared the flexplate that connects the engine to the transmission. I took it as a sign to do a TDI swap and removed the engine to begin the process of searching for the ideal diesel powerplant. Unfortunately TDI engines that fit my modest budget are few and far between so the bus went into storage.

The bus has been sitting in a covered shed waiting for it's new heart; I pulled it out this week to photograph and make space.

With the flexplate replaced, engine reinstalled, and a new battery this Vanagon could be back on the road in no time; with those issues remedied it could be driven cross-country without issue.

Time passes and plans are made leading to an out of state move in the near future. I won't have space to store or work on this project so must pass the baton.

I have no idea how to appraise this vehicle so I will let the interested parties decide. I'm not setting a reserve and will not end the auction early.

The auction includes the bus, the removed 1.9 engine (~54,000 miles and in fantastic condition), manual transmission, and gobs of great Vanagon parts residing in the bus.

All the tires have great tread and are ready to roll.

There are still cosmetic things to worked out once the van is driveable, the splice seam could use a bit more bodywork, there is a dent in the front sliding door, and it wouldn't hurt for everything to be the same color with a couple of coats of paint.

I have a clear title in my name for the vehicle. It was registered and insured under the "front" van's VIN, so no issues there.

I'm happy to answer any and all questions and take more photographs upon request.

This is an as-is, where-is auction. I have described the vehicle accurately to the best of my ability and make no further guarantees.

The bus must be towed or trailered from its current location by July 1.

If the bus sells for less than $500, full payment is due via PayPal within 48 hours; otherwise a $500 deposit is required with the remaining balance to be paid in cash in person at pickup.

Happy Bidding!

Move over Nissan Leaf, VW E-Golf is the new sales champ in Europe

Wed, Apr 8 2015

Western European sales of the Volkswagen e-Golf electric vehicle got just extra charged up, and not just with electricity. For the first two months of the year, the VW EV overtook longstanding EV leader Nissan Leaf in terms of sales on the Continent, Aid Newsletter says. In fact, the e-Golf's 2,150 units sold in Western Europe through February was 400 more than what the Leaf managed. Norway was the key country here. With lots of EV incentives, the Leaf (not to mention the Tesla Model S) have always sold well there, but Volkswagen, through a big advertising push, moved more than three times as many e-Golfs in Norway as Nissan did the Leaf. It's sure a far cry from the US, where the Leaf remains the best-selling electric vehicle. Through February, Nissan moved 2,268 Leaf vehicles in the US, compared to 311 e-Golfs sold here. March sales didn't do much to change the balance, with 195 e-Golfs sold versus 1,817 Leafs. The e-Golf, which retails for about $36,000 in the States, gets an EPA-rated 116 miles per gallon equivalent, barely edging out the Leaf's 114 MPGe rating. The e-Golf can also go 83 miles on a single charge. Our review of the e-Golf is available here.

Hyundai offers discounts to owners done with dirty VW diesels

Sat, Oct 29 2016

For Volkswagen owners that aren't satisfied with getting a payout from the company to make up for dirty emissions, and need to rid themselves of their polluting machines, Hyundai may have a solution. The South Korean automaker is now offering Friends and Family Pricing Plus on new Hyundais for owners of 2.0-liter diesel Volkswagens. A Hyundai spokesperson said it's "an alternative to potentially orphaned diesel owners that will be entering the market for a new vehicle." This discounted pricing plan, as listed by a dealer in Tampa, Florida, starts with the gross dealer invoice price, which includes destination and advertising fees. From there, the buyer gets $1,250 off the purchase price, as well as 3-percent off of the MSRP, excluding destination charges. Also, any current Hyundai incentives can be added to the Friends and Family Pricing discounts. A list of the eligible VW models is below: 2013-2015 Beetle and Beetle convertible 2010-2013 Golf 3-door hatchback 2010-2015 Golf 5-door hatchback 2015 Golf SportWagen 2009-2015 Jetta 2009-2014 Jetta SportWagen 2012-2015 VW Passat 2010-2013, 2015 Audi A3 These incentives certainly make the prospect of a new Hyundai rather attractive, especially for VW owners with that sweet settlement money burning a hole through their wallets. The question is, will owners of these cars find any current Hyundais they like as much as their VWs? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
