1987 Westfalia Vanagon Automatic on 2040-cars
Santa Cruz, California, United States
|
We purchased this champagne-colored Westy in the summer of 2012 and have since done a TON of work on it. The details are below, but in summary, this 1987 Vanagon Westfalia is dreamy to sleep in. Take it to your favorite spot in the woods or at the beach and play all day and cozy up in the pm in the all-original, very clean interior. I LOVE hunkering down in this little home away from home, popping the top, and sleeping through the night.
As for getting where you are going - The engine is a new 2.2 litre GoWesty engine. It now has 2900 miles on it - Yup - still under warranty. Move over slow cars, we are on your tail! Many big and small mechanical parts have been replaced with new and rebuilt parts (all of those details are below and we have all of the paperwork which provides even more detail). The 16" wheels, an upgrade from the original 15"'ers, are also brand new. As mentioned, the curtains and everything else on the interior is original and super-clean. The refrigerator is not working, and we never used the stove, but it *should* be working. The sink faucet and pump were replaced, so that is working fine. The body is in decent condition, but if we were going to keep it, we would get it painted. See photos. The body has 205,215 miles on it and you know... it was built in 1987. Please ask any questions you may have - there is so much info to provide, it is quite possible I am forgetting to include something here.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift
Fri, Feb 20 2015The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."
