1983 Vw Vanagon on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
The time has come unfortunately to offer our second owner baby up for sale. We've had the pleasure of owning her for a couple of years and hate to part with her. As you can tell by the photos she all original and stock as can be. She was purchased brand new in 1983 by a now retired judge and his wife here in Florida. They drove her to Colorado and back to their second home. He always had indoor-outdoor carpet over the original carpet! No floor mats in this baby, we pulled that carpet up and couldn't believe how clean the original carpet was below! The stove has never been used but the fridge has. We have the original rear screen and all curtains, including the front curtains; you will see I draped them over the front seats. D&A VW Auto in Pinellas Park, FL. rebuilt the motor a couple of years ago at 140k miles and she now has only 8k on the rebuilt motor. She is air cooled and runs like a champ, she even has AC! She did start pulling to the left a little which I believe is only due to her needing an alignment. We put new shocks and tires on her last year as well. Newer alpine CD w handsfree bluetooth and new pioneer speakers in the doors and the rear. Pop-top is in great condition w no rips or tears. They also had the van Z-barted (rust inhibitor) as their is no rust underneath her and its still there in multiple places. The only rust spot is in the rear drivers side corner; picture included. She does have a small dent on the passenger side rear bumper that was there when we purchased her. Again, she is all original and as stock as can be. Feel free to contact me with any questions as I can send more pictures via email. Buyer is responsible for shipping and we would like a $1000 deposit thru pay-pal with-in 24 hours or purchase. We are not offering a buy it now price as we would like to see what the market dictates. Thank you and happy bidding! |

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
Former Audi chief designer Wolfgang Egger leaves Italdesign
Sat, Dec 27 2014The latest word from the international community of automotive designers has it that Wolfgang Egger is leaving Italdesign, but just where the accomplished designer will land next and who will take his place remain big question marks. Egger is a designer who has bounced back and forth between Italy and Germany over the course of his career. He was born in Germany but studied in Milan. He began his career at Alfa Romeo in 1989 and was named its chief designer by 1993 before being head-hunted by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 to head up the design department at Seat. A few years later he went returned to Italy to run the Lancia design department, and was subsequently renamed to the same post at Alfa Romeo. In 2007 he went back to his native Germany to head up the Audi design office, over which he assumed complete responsibility by 2012, but left Audi in 2013 to run Italdesign. For those unfamiliar, Italdesign is the studio founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro (pictured at left next to Egger) back in 1968 but which, along with many other Italian design houses, fell on hard times in recent years. The Volkswagen Group swooped in to rescue the troubled studio in 2010, turning it into something of an in-house advanced design department to provide an alternative perspective on the direction in which the group and its various brands could take their respective designs moving forward. With Egger now leaving its helm, Italdesign and its German parent company will need to find his replacement, and we're sure they'll announce one in due course. The bigger question on our minds, however, is where Egger himself will head next. Given the path his career has taken to date, we wouldn't be surprised to see him land elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group or find a new role in the expanding Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire. Then again, Egger could find it time to open an entirely new chapter. Watch this space.
