1982 Volkswagen Vanagon L Campmobile Van Camper 3-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Ortonville, Michigan, United States
|
Up of auction is a beautifully restored 1982 Volkswagon Vanagon L Westfalia with 90,396 original miles. When I first acquired the van it was in great unrestored condition with a rust free body. Since then, the van underwent some changes. With an accociate who is a second-generation Volkswagen mechanic and myself a certified mechanic and automotive painter with 13 years automotive restoration experience; together we worked bumper-to-bumper restoring the van to its 1982 factory condition. All of the windows, interior, and pop top were removed. The van then was primed with a urethane based primer, sealer, surfacer, blocked sanded, and painted with a basecoat clearcoat urethane paint. After the paint had cured, the clear-coat was buffed and polished to a mirror finish. We reassembled the van replacing any necessary items, some of these included new seals, pop top canvas, tires, and new chrome. The end product is a beautiful original example of an 82 Westy. Everything on this Westy works as it did in 1982; the interior is original and is in exceptional condition. The stove still has the blue plastic protective coating from the factory that was placed there in 1982. We have seen a lot of westfalia's on the market self-proclaiming to be "mint condition." In our opinion these vans are clean but are a far-cry away from this 82 Westy. With the combination of past owners that loved the van, low miles, a rust free body, and a recent restoration we do believe this one is among the top bracket of 82 Westfalia's available. A $500 deposit will be required within 48 hours of the auction ending via PayPal, will not ship, local pick up only please. We reserve the right to remove this listing. Happy bidding! |

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
