Featured in the book "VW Camper Cookbook Rides Again" A new copy will be included with the sale.

The Bad:
Original paint. It still holds a shine but is showing its age. Its getting thin in parts and has scratches and dings as its been used to camp and go on numerous family trips. No rust but lots of character. Vinyl stripes and decals are sun cracked and shrunk.
You could easily live with this and preserve it by keeping it waxed and or covered. If you want a show car it will have to be repainted.

The engine: As I have said it was recently rebuilt using a aftermarket performance camshaft from SCAT. The engine runs terrific and the cam gave it that extra bit of power it needed for hills. The problem is when it came time to smog it here in California it wouldnt pass because of it. The new owner will have to be someone in a state with less stringent smog laws or someone that wouldn't mind swapping it out for a stock spec cam (which is all it would need).
 We have decided not to do the work as we are ready to move on to a bigger RV.

The Vanagon has a clear title and the registration fees have been paid up to date.
The Vanagon will be sold in AS-IS condition with NO warranty implied or given.
All shipping arrangements and expenses to be made by the buyer.

Payment to be made by either cash in person , certified bank check , or bank transfer. Title will be held till all funds clear. Pay-Pal to be used for deposit ONLY.
Feel free to ask questions or if your local and would like to see it in person contact me to make arrangements.

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money

Thu, Nov 13 2014

Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
