1980 Volkswagen Westfalia, full camper package. Solid van, spent most of it's life in California, then moved to Wisconsin before I brought it to Ohio. This is the first year for the Vanagon, since it replaced the Bus.

I have too many Westies at this point to tackle this project. The van has no rot or major rust anywhere. The camper is 100% complete. It even has the rear mosquito net in new condition! I was going to part this out for the rest of my Westies, but it's way too solid and it would be a waste to do so.

The entire camper package is there, and it's in great shape. This camper features sleeping for 4, stove, sink, liquid propane refrigerator, lots of storage, electrical outlets, swivel front seats, etc. The camper top has NO holes in it! The top bunk is nearly mint. Everything works as it should. The camper top even has a newer seal around it. The interior could use a thorough cleaning. The driver seat is well worn.

The motor will need a new head, piston, and jug. Everything else on it is fine. The engine is partially dismantled, and you can see where the damage is. Everything needed for the motor is included, other than the required new parts. Also, I have a turn-key 2.0 fuel injected motor that is rebuilt, with new heads. It is available for $1,500 if you would like it. It has everything mounted, including the computer. Just lift it in and bolt it up.

The exterior looks as if it sat and baked in the California sun. There is surface rust throughout the exterior, but to rot or holes anywhere. The underneath is pretty much spotless.

See the link to 49 photos below. I do have a "buy it now" price in mind, just ask. Please consider that this thing is easily worth at least a few grand just in parts, so I think my "buy it now" figure is reasonable. Come and get it!!

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
