1982 Vw Westfalia Campmobile on 2040-cars
San Luis Obispo, California, United States
VIN: WV2ZA0251CH109555
This lovely 1982 VW Westfalia has been a joyous part of my life since January 2009. Before that a grandmother had it for camping with her grandkids, and used it for short distance leisure trips. She starts right up and runs beautifully! All work since I have been the owner has been done by Westy Werks in SLO. They are the great! There are some minor cosmetic dings/scratches, and the back right taillight cover needs to be replaced (easy to do yourself), but light works fine. The Mechanics: • 139,238 miles on a beautifully rebuilt engine (I do not know mileage from previous engine, but have received lots of compliments on the current one) • Smog tested within the year, and received exceptional idle and 2500 RPM emission test results • 4-speed manual • Brand new gas tank cap • Battery replaced 9/2012 • Newly replaced hinges for back hatch • Newly replaced ignition switch ($40), Bosch fuel pump ($235), Bosch fuel filter, & fuel injection hose • Registered until September 2014 Get Campin': • Sink, stove, and fridge in great condition and have all been recently tested ($95 inspection from Westy Werks) • Plastic plateware • Two tables • Captain's chairs (swivel mechanisms) • Two beds (one folds out of the backseat, the other is in the pop top) • Pop top canvas in great condition • Upholstery in great condition • Several storage cabinets and a closet • Complete curtain set, with additional privacy curtains when parked and camping Serious inquiries only. Thanks! |

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Volkswagen officially grants access to UAW in Tennessee
Tue, Dec 9 2014An audit at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN has revealed that at least 45 percent of the facility's workers support unionization, leading the German company to grant access rights to the United Auto Workers. This is a tremendous step in the UAW's long-running and at times contentious pursuit of the workforce at Chattanooga. With this latest move, "local leadership is ready to move forward with additional conversations with the company," the union said in a statement obtained by The Detroit News. "As a starting point, UAW Local 42 will take advantage of the company's offer to establish bi-weekly meetings with Volkswagen Human Resources and the Volkswagen Chattanooga Executive Committee." The News reports that UAW Secretary-Treasurer Gary Casteel, shown above speaking at the Chattanooga plant last summer, claimed these meetings "will remind Human Resources and the Chattanooga Executive Committee of the mutually agreed-upon commitments that were made by Volkswagen and the UAW last spring in Germany. Among those commitments: Volkswagen will recognize the UAW as the representative of our members. We believe Volkswagen made this commitment in good faith and we believe the company will honor this commitment." It's important to note that despite Casteel's remarks, this is not a collective-bargaining agreement, Harley Shaiken, a labor professor at University of California, Berkeley, told The News. "But it is a step in the direction of recognition, which ultimately could lead to collective bargaining. This is not the end point," Shaiken said. "We don't know what's next. We're in unchartered territory."
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
