 THIS 1982 VOLKSWAGEN VANAGON “L” WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE IS POWERED BY A FUEL INJECTED, 2.0 L ENGINE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY CLEAN, ORIGINAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT. THERE ARE VERY FEW VANAGONS AS NICE AS THIS DRY, TEXAS WESTFALIA. 

THE FRAME IS STRAIGHT AND SOLID AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST OR COLLISION DAMAGE. THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUST FREE AND IN GOOD SHAPE.  ALL THE HINGE AND DOOR SILL AREAS ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. EVEN THE ORIGINAL SERIAL NUMBER STICKER IS STILL ON THE DRIVERS DOOR JAMB.

THE VEHICLE’S ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND REST OF THE DRIVETRAIN ARE IN GOOD /TOP FORM TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. HOWEVER, LIKE ALL VANAGON CAMPERS, ABOUT $500 -$800 MAINTENANCE IS CALLED FOR. AND THE PRICING/RESERVE HAS BEEN SET WELL BELOW THIS IN ORDER FOR THE NEW OWNER TO BENEFIT FROM THE PURCHASE AS-IS. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS PRESENT, BUT THE MOTOR IS DISCONNECTED, THE BRAKES NEED SERVICING AND CV AXLES NEED MAINTENANCE, AND ONE OF THE MOTOR SEALS ( MOST LIKELY VALVE COVER GASKET) IS  LEAKING A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF OIL. THE ODOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING JUST RECENTLY, HOWEVER THE MILEAGE READING OF 124K SEEMS TO CORRELATE WITH THE CONDITION OF THIS WESTFALIA.

ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT MAKES THIS VEHICLE TRULY STAND OUT IS THAT IT STILL SPORTS THE ONE YEAR ORIGINAL TO WESTFALIA ONLY, FACTORY BLUE PAINT. THIS COLOR IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC AND ATTRACTIVE COLOR EVER OFFERED ON A VANAGON. THE MAJOR EXTERIOR BODY PANELS ARE STRAIGHT AND PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH GOOD, GAP FIT AROUND ALL THE DOORS AND HATCHES. THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES AND SCRAPES ON THE PAINT BUT THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED FOR THE YEAR/MILEAGE.

THE FACTORY ORIGNAL INTERIOR SHOWS THE SAME QUALITY AS THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR UPHOLSTERY AND TRIM PANELS ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT TO GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS VECHILE HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE.

THE POP TOP FUNCTIONS EASILY AND FLAWLESSLY AND THE TENT HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS. ALL THE APPLIANCES FUCTION AS THEY SHOULD AND THERE IS A HIGH END ECLIPSE FOUR SPEAKER STEREO SYSTEM WITH DUAL AMPLIFIERS.

THE TIRES HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD AND IT HAS AN OPTIONAL TRAILER HITCH.

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars

Thu, Mar 5 2015

A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind Β– but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
