1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia, Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westphalia Weekender, Wolfsburg Edition. THIS IS A PROJECT VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT RUN. 62,477 original A box miles (yes, you read the
mileage correctly), with clean title in my name. 1.9 liter, 4 speed, PS, PB, A/C, dual
batteries, mini-refrigerator. I’m the
second owner, having purchased it from the original owner’s family in 2010. It has not run for at least six or seven years,
and will obviously need some work to get going.
At some point pack rats made their way into the engine compartment (but
not the interior) and chewed thru a lot of the wiring. The crankshaft does turn over by hand. One area of thru rust (see photo) and some
scale on the underside, but other than that pretty clean. No accidents, but some minor dings and
dents. Original paint shines quite
nicely, the interior is in very good condition with no cracks in dash, and all
the glass is good. Pop top canvas needs
to be replaced. Never smoked in. I started on a restoration but have too many other projects
at the moment, including an old Honda CB that’s caught my eye. Comes with a complete set of new fuel lines
(fuel tank reseal kit A, fuel expansion tank/gas tank grommets, and fuel line
replacement kit with firewall adaptor - $230) from Van Cafe, factory repair manual, owner’s manual, two spare rear
coil springs and new cover. I pulled the
fuel tank and had it cleaned out, resealed and painted; I began removing the
radiator to have it flushed out, but never got around to it. It certainly needs some work, but it’s all stock and has very low miles. For a few grand
and some time it could be really nice. I’ll be listing this locally so I reserve the
right to close the auction at any time.
My feedback is 100% positive over 13 years and I’d like to keep it that
way; as such, I would really prefer to sell to someone who can come and look at
it in person. See photobucket link below for more pictures; I'll be adding as I have time. If you want pictures of something specific
let me know. http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/gd44elle/library/Vanagon?sort=3&page=1 |

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
Suzuki and VW finalize their divorce
Thu, Feb 11 2016The rocky divorce between Suzuki and Volkswagen is finally over after working its way through the International Court of Arbitration since 2011, according to the Japan Times. In the final settlement to end the companies' disputes, Suzuki agreed to pay VW an undisclosed amount for not living up to the agreement to use the German automaker's diesel engines. While they won't disclose the exact sum, Suzuki said in a statement that the money "will not have any significant impact" on its 2015 fiscal year results, which will end in March. The arbitration court took the biggest step to end this transcontinental partnership in August 2015 when the body ruled VW needed sell its 19.9-percent stake in Suzuki. However, the Japanese company wasn't entirely off the hook because VW was still allowed to sue for damages over the diesel engine issue. This latest decision finally clears up that dispute. Like most marriages, the union between VW and Suzuki began with stars in both parties' eyes. The Germans paid $2.8 billion to buy 19.9 percent of the Japanese company in December 2009. VW was supposed to get greater access to the auto market in India, and Suzuki hoped to capitalize on access to its partner's advanced technology. By 2011, rumors started percolating that things were contentious behind closed doors. VW allegedly tried to assert control over Suzuki's operations, and the Japanese company reportedly wasn't happy with its access to the German tech. Suzuki even bought diesel engines from Fiat, rather than VW. Later that year, company CEO Osamu Suzuki announced he would end the alliance, and they started working through arbitration. Notification Concerning Resolution of Arbitration by Settlement As Suzuki has reached a settlement regarding the arbitration that Suzuki filed with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce on 24 November 2011, Suzuki informs you of the following: 1. History from the Request for Arbitration to the Settlement As announced in the "Notification Concerning Arbitration Award" dated 30 August 2015, the Tribunal indicated that it would address the issue of alleged damages arising from Suzuki's breach of the agreement claimed by Volkswagen AG ("VW") in a further stage of the arbitration proceedings. Suzuki reached a settlement with VW in regard to such arbitration proceedings on 10 February 2016. Accordingly, the arbitration proceedings have been concluded. 2.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
