1984 water cooled fuel injection VW Vanagon Westfalia camper van with pop top. All in great condition, comes with roof racks, heat, 2 burner stove top  & refrigerator in good condition, all tables, sink with water pump, auxiliary battery for camping, spare tire,  fairly new tires, new clutch, fairly new brakes, new thermostat, cooling fan switch, water temp sensor. Upholstery newly redone including all the damaged interior panels, and has a new canvas 3 window pop-top.  Motor runs great, very smooth on the road.  Low mileage, 118,000+, well cared for so I think it will keep on with yearly maintenance.  It has mostly been a CA vehicle that I purchased a few years ago, so very minimal rust, mainly a little around the rear windows.  I really enjoy the vehicle, but I am selling due to recently developed health issues that keep me from enjoying it like I used to do for several years. 

Accessories include:

Sink/faucet with electric water pump, refrigerator, two burner stove top. Lots of cabinets, shelves and a closet. Interior and exterior clean and in good condition, as you can see from the pictures. Sleeps up to four people. (The upper bunk under the pop-top is especially nice in the VW Campers.) Two front, swivel chairs with center table.  Rear bench seat that folds down to a double bed. Wider bed under pop-top. Closable screens all-around. Luggage compartment, front, top of vehicle. Outside connections for city water and electricity. Propane tank and filler connection. These campers are known as the, "Swiss Army Knife" of RVs, because there is so much in a manageable space. Probably no other camper drives with the agility and fun, almost like a sports car and better than an SUV.

OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES: Non-Power Windows & Door Locks, Auxiliary battery that automatically separates from vehicle battery when parked, yet charges again when camper is started with primary battery.  This battery powers refrigerator, lights, etc. to be used when not driving.  3 window pop-top Canvas has recently been replaced.  Swivel Table with Swing Bar & Window Screens & Rear Bug Screen, Privacy Curtains.  6 ply truck tires are reasonably new and in great condition with lots of tread and life left.  4 speed manual transmission makes for easy driving and handling and shifts very smoothly and quietly giving the maximum usage of engine power.   Yakima lockable roof rack with 2 bars for surfboards, or kayaks, etc.

The Vanagon Campers were made from 1980 to 1991. The camping aspects of these models, which remained unchanged for those years, are unsurpassed in their utility and efficiency, in providing satisfying and fun camping trips. Being in a VW Camper is like sitting in the observation car on a train, because of the openness of the many windows.

The VW Camper mechanical aspects saw many changes over the years, 1980-1991. The beginning of 1983 was the last year of air cooled engines, and this vehicle is one of the first water cooled VW Vanagons which is a lot better than the air cooled sister vans.  This Camper is for someone who is looking for a fun vehicle and wants to experience a Camper for having years of wonderful camping trips. This camper has just a little more than 118,000 miles.

Because of the relatively low mileage (less than 4,000 miles per year over the thirty years) and regular maintenance, there are minimal mechanical issues.  It has been thoroughly gone through and all mechanical issues have been repaired.  The Vanagon camping models are becoming increasingly scarce and one in this level of mechanical condition is even harder to find. Make it yours and have a great time camping anywhere in the World.   

Check out all the pictures included in the listing.  There are some small amounts of rust and some minor dents in the body, but for a 30 year old vehicle, it is in good condition.

Engine runs really great!

Watch Chris Harris in the electric VW ID.R waste a McLaren 720S

Mon, Feb 24 2020

The Volkswagen ID.R doesn't have much in common with a McLaren 720S, other than the fact that they are both performance-crazed cars. One gets its power from batteries, the other from gas. One uses electric motors, the other a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. One is a halo prototype vehicle, the other is a road-legal supercar available for purchase. So when Chris Harris and "Top Gear" decided to "race" the two against each other, it was more of a demonstration of the VW's unreal capabilities than any sort of real competitive faceoff. In episode five of Top Gear's 28th season, which just aired February 23, the trio of Harris, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness welcomed Youtuber KSI on the show and ventured out on a luxury sports car road trip with an Aston Martin, Porsche, and Ferrari. Separately, Harris took to the track to test out Volkswagen's golden egg of the moment, the ID.R. As VW fully launches into its electric-vehicle push, the ID.R is meant to exhibit what battery-electric technology is capable of. With two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle, the 2,425-pound ID.R has four-wheel drive and makes a claimed 670 horsepower. As Harris notes in the video, the ID.R. was not built for a specific regulation-bogged racing organization or competition, and thus, it's only held back by the rules of Mother Nature and Father Physics. Since the car's debut, it has been annihilating records around the world, including at Pike's Peak, Goodwood, the Nurburgring, and Heaven's Gate. Chris Harris didn't set any records in the ID.R., but he certainly showed how outrageous this machine is. The 710-horsepower 720S can go from zero mph to 62 mph in less than three seconds, and the ID.R has a sizable lead within that same time. Again, this wasn't an instance of test-and-conclude, it was a show of perspective. The ID.R is a race car, so even though the 720S is one of the best supercars in the world, it never stood a chance. See for yourself above. Related Video:    

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
