1986 Syncro Westfalia. Rust free Arizona van.  The original owner bought it new then shortly after ordered the Westfalia kit directly from Westfalia  and had it installed. This van runs and drives great with the 2.2 liter Subaru motor that was professional installed. Plenty of power and drives more like a car than a van with the upgraded motor. I had the complete rear interior seats and upper bunk reupholstered ($800). New carpet, 4  new 14 x 8.50 General Grabber All terrains ($700) new starter, upgraded 12 volt electric fridge, cd player, u joints, drive line and transmission. There has been some pretty innovative upgrades to the interior to make it more usable for camping such as removable propane stove, updated 12 volt fridge, and aux battery This van has the swivel seat and new muffler.  Very strait and dry van.

Subaru conversion - The Subaru motor was professional installed. Plenty of power and drives more like a car than a van with the upgraded motor. The








S
ubaru kit is from Kennendy Engineering in Palmdale California (the best for Subaru conversions). I have a 100 page manual that has all the information you need for the

















Subaru upgrade. Hoses are  from Vanaru. The total cost of the motor upgrade was over $9,000


Engine/Trans - Rebuilt Subaru 2.2 liter engine with around 40k miles. At that time they installed a new clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. New starter, the transmission was just replaced with a low mile transmission. Only full senthetic motor oil has been used, fresh coolant, tune up, snorkel set up, new performance muffler, marine aux camping battery, new drive line and u joints professional installed, new motor mounts and trans mounts. New shift bushings. The Van runs and drives great with plenty of power from the Subaru motor.

Interior - The interior is in excellent shape. Front seats are in good condition with no rips or stains. passenger side swivel seat, no cracks in dash, nice Alpine cd player with remote and 4 alpine speakers. two 6 inch speakers up front, two 6x9 speakers in back. New carpet in cargo area, updated electric 12 volt fridge.  Fresh water tank with electric pump and new faucet. Aux camping marine battery, new upper bunk cushions, new upholstery on upper bunk, Z bed and rear cushion (cost over $800). I lined all interior cabinets with marine carpet. 6 110 volt electrical out lets. Removable propane stove, built in butcher block on counter. Interior has been cleaned and detailed. The interior is in great over all condition.

Pop Top - This van has the 3 window canvas upgrade. The canvas has no rips, all zippers work well. Upper bunk sleeps two and has new upholstery and padding.

Paint and Body - The body has a few minor dings and some scratches and scuff marks. This van has never been wrecked and is super strait. All door and body gaps are perfect. No cancer on this bus, no seam rust.  Paint is very presentable but shows its age. 

Other - Nice alloy rims with 4 new 14 x 8.50 General Grabber All terrain tires ($700). Rear heater under Z bed, custom heavy duty steel rear bumper, nice front bumper 230,000 miles on body, ( low miles on drive train).

VW Jetta and Golf family earn IIHS TSP+ [w/video]

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Volkswagen is the latest manufacturer to add vehicles to the growing list of cars, trucks and SUVs certified as Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The non-profit has awarded its highest safety ranking on the 2016 Golf and Jetta families. Earning a TSP+ rating, while increasingly common, is still a challenge for automakers thanks to IIHS' strict testing regime. Vehicles must net "Good" ratings – the highest grade available – in the moderate overlap, front, side, roof, and head-restraint tests, while also scoring an "Acceptable" rating on the notoriously tricky small-overlap test. On top of that, the automated crash-prevention systems need to be rated as either "Advanced" or "Superior." For 2016, the Jetta, Golf, and their performance variants retained 2015's "Good" ratings across the board, while also receiving an "Advanced" crash prevention rating, thanks to the new-for-2016 Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking systems. "This year's Top Safety Pick+ awards demonstrate Volkswagen's longstanding commitment to vehicle safety and the development of innovative technologies," Mark Barnes, VP of Sales for VW of America, said in the attached statement. "Our available driver assistance systems and safety features show Volkswagen's commitment to introduce systems that were once only seen on high-end luxury and premium vehicles, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Departure Warning." Scroll down for the official press release from VW and video of the crash test (and yes, that's a 2015 shown in both the lead image and video – the only difference between the two years was the availability of more advanced crash-prevention systems).

2016 Volkswagen Golf GTE First Drive [w/video]

Fri, Oct 9 2015

For the past few years I've enjoyed a simple automotive tradition: When planning a European vacation, I request a relatively attainable loaner car that's unavailable in the States. These slices of can't-get-it-at-home automotive exotica have tended to be clean diesels, and experiencing them in their native habitat ahead of their US debuts often gives some form of four-wheeled revelation. For instance, before the mainstream emergence of clean diesels stateside, I racked up 1,500 miles on a then-brand-new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI. The otherwise unassuming sedan enabled me to cannonball from the South of France to Barcelona on a single tank of fuel, while delivering satisfying torque around town and averaging 41 mpg. The following year, I bombed through the Italian Alps in a Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI, which eked a claimed 17 percent better fuel economy than its predecessor. Once again, I was in car guy heaven, returning home with nothing but praise for these efficient, entertaining diesels that seemed to defy conventional wisdom. And then came the Volkswagen scandal, single-handedly besmirching so-called clean diesels and everything they purported to represent. With a European pleasure trip around the corner (and a request for a press car pending with VW), I wondered what would be waiting for me curbside when I touched down at Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola. The GTE packs what is essentially an Audi A3 E-Tron beneath its familiar skin. Enter The High Performance Hybrid Volkswagen, quite understandably, didn't want to arm a journalist with potentially damning commentary about the technology that has already inspired environmental outrage and the ousting of CEO Martin Winterkorn. For the automaker in peril (and the auto writer in waiting), I soon discovered that the 'clean' diesel elephant in the room would be supplanted with a vehicle that could single-handedly deflect controversy. My loaner? A still-can't-get-it-back-home alternative to diesel, the 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTE plug-in hybrid. First off, let me admit to some prejudicial bias against the GTE. Maybe it's my personal views on hybrids, tainted by the eco self-righteousness exuded by their drivers back home, and epitomized by teeming swarms of Prius drivers who couldn't give a single damn about driving. Or maybe it's the added weight and complexity of a hybrid drivetrain that runs counter to my petrol-loving soul.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
