For sale is a manual 1984 Volkswagen Westfalia Vanagon with less than 1000 miles on a rebuilt engine.  Van was a west coast vehicle until 1997 and then came to North Carolina.  As it's never suffered harsh winters the body is in great shape!


THIS VEHICLE IS A ROAD TRIP WAITING TO HAPPEN!

We purchased the vehicle approximately 3 years ago with a dream to drive it cross country as well as use it as a daily driver.  We specifically looked for a vehicle with body in great shape as anyone who knows these Vanagons is aware that a little visible rust usually means a lot of hidden rust.  We were lucky to find this beauty which is basically rust free, and living in his original body and mostly all original paint.

As life happens we were unable to take the time drive cross country. But our Vanagon was taken care of with that intention.  We kept him healthy and happy and road worthy.  

The details:

BODY & PAINT:
rust free and original body
mostly original paint in light cream/yellow option (you sometimes see orange or brown vans of this age, but the light color of ours reflects the sun and keeps you cooler while camping!)
RECENTLY PAINTED the pop top so it's a fresh bright white
hinges- the support arms for pop top when raised- have been reinforced
NEW SEALS around entire pop top
NEW CANOPY is the high end hemp option from Go Westy (costs nearly $500!)

INTERIOR:
set up for twin 12V batteries- so you have power when there is no hookup! The engine charges both batteries! (currently equipped with only the main battery)
swivel captain chairs
all curtains including front privacy drape and rear bug screen included (the screen is great for sleeping at night and getting a breeze!)
stove functional and clean
refrigerator runs on a/c power
all gauges work except tachometer
cd/radio not hooked up but included 

DRIVETRAIN:
1.90L Engine
REBUILT SUMMER OF 2011... LESS THAN 1000 miles on rebuilt engine!
NEW seals
NEW gaskets
NEW rings
NEW pushrods, lifters
HEADS COMPLETELY REBUILT, NEW valves, NEW springs, NEW belts, NEW hoses
NEW fuel pump and fuel filter
Engine was professionally tuned by a local Westy dealer, throttle body replaced
Transmission- flywheel refaced, NEW pressure plate, NEW CLUTCH, NEW throw out bearing, and transmission fluid changed

THIS VAN IS ROADWORTHY TODAY!  IT IS FULLY TITLED IN NORTH CAROLINA, REGISTERED AND RECENTLY PASSED ALL REQUIRED INSPECTIONS!

Here's a summary of what we would do if we were going to keep this van:
1) Air-conditioning:  It was inoperable when we bought it and still is.  Honestly we didn't need it while driving.  The breeze from having the windows down was enough for us- and as these vans are loud, having the windows down made no difference to noise level. Plus while in camp you need a separate a/c setup anyway.  The regular vehicle air conditioning is not for use while camping in these vans.
2) Cooling pipes: They are still the original pipes and we intended to replace them eventually.

Remember, this is a vehicle that is almost 30 years old.  We have stated to the best of our knowledge all of the work done on this vehicle- its strengths and weaknesses. Anyone who knows about these VW camper vans knows they are ALWAYS an ongoing project.  Things are bound to come up that need to be replaced or upgraded.  That's part of the joy of joining the VW camper family! :) But this vehicle is ready to use right now!  If we don't sell it we are taking it camping ourselves!

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.

Audi CEO's Dieselgate arrest threatens fragile truce among VW stakeholders

Tue, Jun 19 2018

FRANKFURT — The arrest and detention of Audi's chief executive forces Volkswagen Group's competing stakeholders to renegotiate the delicate balance of power that has helped keep Audi CEO Rupert Stadler in office. Volkswagen's directors are discussing how to run Audi, its most profitable division, following the arrest of the brand's long-time boss on Monday as part of Germany's investigations into the carmaker's emissions cheating scandal. The supervisory board of Audi, meanwhile, has suspended Stadler and appointed Dutchman Bram Schot as an interim replacement, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Schot joined the Volkswagen Group in 2011 after having worked as president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Italia. He has been Audi's board member for sales and marketing since last September. The discussions risk reigniting tensions among VW's controlling Piech and Porsche families, its powerful labor representatives and its home region of Lower Saxony. VW has insisted the development of illegal software, also known as "defeat devices," installed in millions of cars was the work of low-level employees, and that no management board members were involved. U.S. prosecutors have challenged this by indicting VW's former chief executive Martin Winterkorn. Stadler's arrest raises further questions. Audi and VW said on Monday that Stadler was presumed innocent unless proved otherwise. Munich prosecutors detained Stadler to prevent him from obstructing a probe into Audi's emissions cheating, they said on Monday. Stadler is being investigated for suspected fraud and false advertising. Here are the main factors deciding the fate of Audi. Background: Audi's role in Dieselgate Volkswagen Group was plunged into crisis in 2015 after U.S. regulators found Europe's biggest carmaker had equipped cars with software to cheat emissions tests on diesel engines. The technique of using software to detect a pollution test procedure, and to increase the effectiveness of emissions filters to mask pollution levels only during tests, was first developed at Audi. "In designing the defeat device, VW engineers borrowed the original concept of the dual-mode, emissions cycle-beating software from Audi," VW said in its plea agreement with U.S. authorities in January 2017, in which the company agreed to pay a $4.3 billion fine to reach a settlement with U.S. regulators.
