1987 VW Vanagon Wolfsburg edition Manual transmission Approximately 150,000 miles Clean title. Registered until April 2015. Please read online about the Wolfsburg edition as it has many options that the more basic models don’t have- including most noticeably a folding table, rear facing jump seats, power front windows and power mirrors. The bed folds out in the back and will sleep three adults – it’s wider than the Westfalia’s I’m told since the Westy’s have the side portion with the sink, stove, storage etc taking up some width. I just bought it recently – several months ago. I had planned to get it in great shape but school loans and other financial challenges have led me to sell it. It runs excellent and the transmission shifts great. I bought it from a very nice older guy in Costa Mesa who owns a shop fixing older German cars. Things I’ve bought already: Bluetooth stereo head unit - $125 from Crutchfield – installed and works great – I use my iphone wirelessly with it. Front & Rear bumpers and kit - $270 from GoWesty – my friend who’s a mechanic swapped the old ones out as they were in bad shape. Brand New tires from Lucky Tires - $360 – these are the ones with the very strong side walls that are supposed to be used for vanagons. Four speakers – two installed in rear, two for doors (not installed yet/will include in sell). Things it needs to be in great shape: The left front power window is not working – needs to be fixed. The rear lights including brake light/s are not working – I didn’t realize this until recently as I rarely drove it at night. The turn signals in the front and rear DO work. The headlights work. The air conditioning and heat iare not currently working - my friend who’s a mechanic said it may just need a charge but he didn’t have time to check for sure. The knobs and levers for the AC and heat are not installed - needs new ones- see photo. Body work and paint job. There are some small rust spots – please see pictures. And there are some dents – most are minor and not very big – except the front left of the van – see pics for all of them. The paint is in bad shape and needs to be completely done over. My friend estimated that the body work and paint will likely cost $1500. There may be other minor things in the interior that need replacing or fixing. Please look at all the photos to see the condition inside and out. The interior lights work - see photos - the one behind the sliding door comes on when open. The longer horizontal one on the opposite side above the table works when turned on. I’m not a mechanic or expert on vanagons but email me with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer. This is a solid running Wolfsburg that can be driven as-is and can be amazing if you take care of the body and paint. My reserve is very low. If you're not local, you pay any shipping fees. I am out of town for the July 4th weekend and cannot show it to locals then. |

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project
Tue, Jan 7 2014It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
