1987 Westfalia GL. 4 cylinder, 2.1 liter water cooled engine. 142,584 miles on the body, with the motor rebuilt approx 35,000 miles ago. I purchased this VW in Sept '07 off ebay and have personally put 23,465 miles on it. The VW was never used as my daily driver but used for short road trips; camping and sporting tailgate activities. This is a wonderful, "ready to ride" Westfalia with the complete original camping package. I have added a few major items since I purchased it including new heavy duty bumpers, a "Shady Boy" awning, hardwood floors, an inverter, new carpet and many other items which I will describe below. All general maintenance has been performed and the overall vehicle is solid for its age. I am not an expert in the mechanics of automobiles but will try to answer any questions one may have which isn't addressed below or shown in the images. I am available night/day for anyone wishing to view in person or test drive "Rose". ** I have included a scanned image of the autocheck on the vehicle which the previous owner included when he listed it on ebay. ** EXTERIOR: Body and paint is in good shape. There are a few minor dings here and there. There is a noticable dent below the rear window, causing the wiper to not work. There is also a significant, foot long crimp on the trim above the back left tire where the only noticable rust appears. The front white paint is slightly different than the balance of the vehicle. The windows are dent/crack free. One headlight lense is cracked. The beefy bumpers are metal tubed with diamond plate accent, including a rear trailer hitch. The high power headlight kit has been added as have fog lamps. The outside connections for water (hose included), electricity (x-long cord and adapters included), and the propane connections are in working order. The windows have been deep tinted, giving excellent privacy and a sharp visual appearance. The Hankook 8 ply tires are very good with less than 25,000 miles. I have replaced all trim moldings, installed new poptop seals and added wind/rain window deflectors. I have recently installed new rear hatch struts so the hatch stays up great. The radio antenna works great but probably should be replaced as it is hanging on (I have the replacement). The roof, including luggage department are excellent shape. The sunroof works but does leak in extreme rain but is an inexpensive replacement. Overall for an almost 30 year old vehicle I would say the exterior to be very good. Note: I have a never used custom fitted vehicle cover and a new set of wheel rims if you wish to replace to the pained red ones on it now, I will include these. INTERIOR: New carpet kit has been installed. Laminate wood floor has been laid down in the rear floor. All upholstery is original and in really good shape. The dash is crack free and in great shape. The headliner is in great shape. The power locks work great however the power windows are hit or miss. The front door panels although in good shape do have some warping. The upper bunk pad is in excellent shape as is the lower seat/bed. I have installed custom curtains. Many of the bulbs, the dash bulbs and the rear light are all LED. The water storage tank, pump and sink are excellent. The refrigerator does work on electricity and propane however I only used the fridge for storage. The 2 burner stove works great. The VW has the 2nd deep cycle battery and charges as the motor is on. I have "dry camped" for as many as 8 days utilizing inverter off the deep cycle battery only for water pump, and phone charging, radio, etc. The popup tent is original and is in good shape with only the screen having rips (replacement kits are available). I had a new air conditioner system installed in 2007 and it keeps the rear passengers cool. I have the original front snap-in privacy curtain and also the rear snap-in screened curtain. There is a cd/radio player installed as well an amp located behind the driver seat. All cabinet doors, and the table are in perfect condition. The deep cycle marine battery indicator light works perfectly. A console in front has been installed. The rear swing out table is in great shape. MECHANICALLY: The previous owner spent $3200.00 at 112,000 miles having the motor rebuilt (there is a scanned image of the invoice/work). I believe I have only replaced the water pump about 12,000 miles ago, possibly some belts on the motor. The motor runs great. The alignment is great with no pull. I average 18-20 MPG and even when fully loaded with a tank of water I can cruise comfortably at 70 mph on interstate. The transmission runs good but it does need the seals replaced. I haven't had the time to replace, but I do have the kit which is included. The transmission fluid does and will leak until replaced, otherwise it still runs smooth. I have what is to believed to be all maint. records from when the VW was purchased and will turn these over to the buyer. This has been a great vehicle for myself and my once lifestyle. I just don't have the time anymore to head out on long camping weekends. I have probably put less than 100 miles on it over the past 12 months. As I stated, this is ready to ride and enjoy now for the weekend enthusiast but some simple, inexpensive fixes would make it truly worry-free as a daily ride. For the VW lovers and ones who love to restore and "pimp their rides" this is a solid base Westfalia. The VW is sold as-is, with no warranty and no returns of deposits or partial payments. Please do not bid if you do not intend to purchase based on the terms stated within. I will try to answer all emails quickly and will include my telephone number if you would prefer to communicate via phone. I welcome all communication, and will accomodate anyone wishing to view or test drive in person.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally
Tue, May 19 2015Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.
