1982 - Volkswagen Bus/vanagon on 2040-cars
Morehead City, North Carolina, United States
Answering a few questions it has a 1997 Subaru Impreza dual overhead cam engine that has a timing belt which was replaced before the install. You can install ac in the van for about 1000 to 1500 personally I never needed ac on the east coast. The stove, sink, and the fridge all work but it has no propane in it right now. I daily drive the van everyday to work accruing 50 miles and it has not had any issues. I am moving in January and would like to sell it before that, if it doesn't sell then I am keeping it in storage until I get back. Make me a reasonable offer and it is yours!! Here is a 1982 originally an air cooled Volkswagen Vanagon camper with a 2.0L Subaru liquid cooled engine!! The car was my father's and he passed away in 2012, the van was his baby. I got the van in 2013 and began the Subaru conversion beginning this year. It is using a Kennedy Engineering frame, Go Westy stainless steel coolant lines, Kennedy Engineering trans adapter plate with stock Vanagon transmission. The engine is a low mileage (40k) Subaru JDM 150Hp 2.0L with plenty of power!! The interior was refinished in 2010 and is in excellent condition, the front seats are mint, the dash is in great condition, front carpet is faded, and has a built in rear DVD player with dedicated screen. Has a nice CD player with high quality Kicker speakers. The van has spent its entire life in the south so has no typical Vanagon rust. It does have a little surface rust here and there, I have not painted the vehicle so the prospective owner can see the original body. The Subaru engine also has the capability to add AC and power steering if you need it!! This truly is an awesome van and I would definitely keep it if it wasn't for the U.S. Army. We are constantly moving and it is not practical for our family right now. If you are anywhere between North Carolina and Vermont on the east coast then I might be able to deliver the vehicle to you. (Going to Vermont in January) If you decide to have me deliver it then I will require a deposit up front!! I have described the vehicle as good as I can but if you have any further questions you can call me at 216-215-0518 Also it has a front tow bar system which allows you to tow the Vanagon!! New parts are as following Fuel Tank Walbro 255 fuel pump Fuel level sender Battery Bosch hi torque starter oil pressure and water temp gauge Stock exhaust Catalytic converter 2 oxygen sensors All coolant lines Radiator Overflow tanks Clutch Flywheel Throwout bearing Clutch Slave cylinder Air filter Fuel filters MAF adapter Kennedy Engineering exhaust manifold I am sure there are more parts that I am forgetting...

Recharge Wrap-up: New Mitsubishi Evo PHEV, Amsterdam buses go all electric by 2025
Thu, Apr 30 2015Mitsubishi hopes to launch a new vehicle badged as the Evo based on the Concept XR-PHEV II. Mitsubishi President and COO Tetsuro Aikawa tells Autocar the new vehicle will share characteristics with the outgoing Lancer Evolution loved by enthusiasts, but will feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the body of a compact crossover. "In Japanese, when you pronounce 'Oh,' it means 'king,'" says Aikawa. "So we would like to launch this type of car, featuring EV and PHEV technology, which is the ultimate of its kind. 'EV' for electric vehicle, 'O' for king - Evo." The Mitsu boss also envisions the four-wheel-drive Evo to be "light and fast - something performance-oriented." Read more at Autocar, or at Hybrid Cars. Amsterdam aims to have all its buses running on electric power by 2025. Within two years, the city will have 40 electric buses in operation, and will phase out the rest of the diesel fleet in the following years. "This project means we are saying goodbye to symbolic behavior and pilot projects," says transport alderman Abdeluheb Choho. "We have decided to just do it, not to experiment with five buses." Read more at Clean Technica. BMW and General Motors are both listed in the top five US organizations generating and using green energy onsite. In an EPA list, BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina manufacturing facility is number four, with credit going to its use of landfill gas. In 2013, 69,383,477 kWh - or 37 percent of its total usage - came from green energy. GM's Fort Wayne Assembly was number five, with 43 percent of its power coming from methane from a nearby landfill. Volkwsagen also made the Top 30 list, at number 15, for its Chattanooga assembly plant's use of solar power. See the EPA's full list, and read more at Green Car Congress. Volkswagen will release its 2014 sustainability report on Twitter on Monday, May 4. It will be the first step in using the social medium to distribute information on economic, environmental and social sustainability to a larger audience. The report will include a section called "Electrifying China with a tailor-made efficiency strategy," which focuses on reducing CO2 emissions through the use of electric vehicles. Volkswagen has already begun releasing highlights from its report on its Twitter account with the hashtag #VWCSR. Read more in the press release below and, of course, on Twitter next week.
MotorWeek looks back at the 1986.5 VW Scirocco 16V
Wed, Jan 21 2015It's back to the past with MotorWeek for a video dive into the 1986.5 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V, the coupe that carried the pennant for VW's performance aspirations for 15 years, from 1974 to 1989. This one, the last generation, got the hottest of all by adding a head with four valves per cylinder. The 1.8-liter DOHC engine cranked out "an amazing" 123 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, and made this model the fastest VW to ever be sold in America; it went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, faster than a Porsche 944. To compare vintage apples to modern ones, the New Scirocco with a 123-hp 1.4-liter TSI engine and a manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds. We like MotorWeek's Retro Review series not only for the cars, but for how they also remind us of what we used to find important in cars. The Scirocco here gets upvoted for its throttle response and handling, downvoted for an oddly placed oil pressure gauge and lack of battery voltage meter. We can't remember the last time a voltage meter was mentioned in a review, either its presence or lack. Check out the video above for what the definition of "US hot hatch" used to be.
Recharge Wrap-up: Volkswagen adopts CCS Combo plug, Tesla adds Trip Energy Prediction
Thu, Jan 22 2015Volkswagen plans to use CCS Combo plugs as standard for all future plug-in vehicles. The CCS fast-charging allows cars to charge to 80-percent capacity in as little as 15 minutes for cars like the Cross Coupe GTE. This could be a boon to prospective customers, as studies have found plug-in hybrid drivers plug in more frequently than originally expected. Plug-in drivers seem to want to perform as much driving as possible using electricity alone, and VW's plan to adopt the CCS Combo plug could help drivers achieve that. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla's 6.1 Firmware update for the Model S includes a Trip Energy Prediction feature. The new feature takes into account things like elevation, speed and predicted driving behavior to estimate the amount of energy used and how much range will be left in the battery after a route is programmed into the navigation system. It can let the driver know if a round trip can be made, and if the driver will need to charge before heading out. The feature updates itself in realtime throughout the drive as well, responding to how much energy is actually being used. Read a rundown of Trip Energy Prediction at Teslarati. The dates for National Drive Electric Week have been set for Saturday, September 12 through Sunday, September 20, 2015. The grassroots celebration of EVs is organized by Plug In America, The Electric Auto Association and the Sierra Club. "We're revved up for National Drive Electric Week 2015, which will offer the public, the media, and policymakers a great opportunity to come check out many of the 20-plus plug-in vehicles on the market," says Sierra Club EV Initiative Director Gina Coplon-Newfield. Last year, more than 90,000 people participated in 152 cities worldwide. Read more in the press release below. National Drive Electric Week 2015-DATES ARE SET SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan., 20, 2015-Dates have been set for the fifth annual National Drive Electric Week: Sat., Sept. 12 through Sun., Sept. 20, 2015. Events will encompass two weekends to give planners maximum flexibility and consumers plenty of opportunity to attend. "This promises to be an exciting year for plug-in vehicles," said Tom Saxton, Plug In America's chief science officer. "The BMW i3 will be on the road for the first full year, we expect deliveries of the Tesla Model X, an updated Chevy Volt, and greater overall sales growth than we saw last year.
