1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia, Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westphalia Weekender, Wolfsburg Edition. THIS IS A PROJECT VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT RUN. 62,477 original A box miles (yes, you read the
mileage correctly), with clean title in my name. 1.9 liter, 4 speed, PS, PB, A/C, dual
batteries, mini-refrigerator. I’m the
second owner, having purchased it from the original owner’s family in 2010. It has not run for at least six or seven years,
and will obviously need some work to get going.
At some point pack rats made their way into the engine compartment (but
not the interior) and chewed thru a lot of the wiring. The crankshaft does turn over by hand. One area of thru rust (see photo) and some
scale on the underside, but other than that pretty clean. No accidents, but some minor dings and
dents. Original paint shines quite
nicely, the interior is in very good condition with no cracks in dash, and all
the glass is good. Pop top canvas needs
to be replaced. Never smoked in. I started on a restoration but have too many other projects
at the moment, including an old Honda CB that’s caught my eye. Comes with a complete set of new fuel lines
(fuel tank reseal kit A, fuel expansion tank/gas tank grommets, and fuel line
replacement kit with firewall adaptor - $230) from Van Cafe, factory repair manual, owner’s manual, two spare rear
coil springs and new cover. I pulled the
fuel tank and had it cleaned out, resealed and painted; I began removing the
radiator to have it flushed out, but never got around to it. It certainly needs some work, but it’s all stock and has very low miles. For a few grand
and some time it could be really nice. I’ll be listing this locally so I reserve the
right to close the auction at any time.
My feedback is 100% positive over 13 years and I’d like to keep it that
way; as such, I would really prefer to sell to someone who can come and look at
it in person. See photobucket link below for more pictures; I'll be adding as I have time. If you want pictures of something specific
let me know. http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/gd44elle/library/Vanagon?sort=3&page=1 |

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development
Tue, Dec 9 2014Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
