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!

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.

VW launches special edition Touareg X

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
