1984 Vanagon G.L. in very good condition for its age. I am the second owner, having purchased it from the estate of the first owner about four years ago. I have the origanal window sticker. Owned by non-smokers. I did an engine conversion about 3 years ago, replacing the 1.9 four cyl with a G.M. 2.6 V-6 that now has about 20,000 miles. The automatic trans was rebuilt a little before that. I used a Kennedy Engineering adaptor. Also replaced at that time were, radiator and plumbing, all brake components, front wheel bearings, high tork starter(also form Kennedy), The engine has a mild mid-range grind cam and lifters, a 650 C.F.M. Edelbrock carb, Edelbrock tork master intake, and custom duel exhaust. This bus can cruise at 70 all day and will climb any hill with ease, and still gets 15-17 MPG( about the same as the 4 cyl). More recent new parts include, aternater, belt, and battery. The engine and drive train are in excellent condition. I painted the van at the time of the conversion, there are some minor rust issues and some scratches and dings now( check out the pictures). There is a recently developed front end problem that needs attention. The upper control arm bushings on both sides are worn. The van is stilll driveable but will need this issue adressed. I have the bushings and they will be included with the van. Also included is every thing else needed to overhaul the front end. Upper and lower ball joints, new shocks, new lower control arm bushings, complete tie-rods, new steering rack boots, and front radius rod bushings. I don't have the patience, or time to make the repair. Thanks for looking, I will be glad to answer any questions. The buyer is responcible for the shipping or movement of the vehicle, must be moved within 2 weeks of payment in full. A $500.00 deposite to pay pal within 24 hours of auction close, balance due within 2 weeks. vehicle not released until balance paid. Cash or Certified check cleared.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.

Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE is a sleek take on brand's future CUV

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Volkswagen continues its long tease leading up to an eventual US-built, seven-passenger, three-row crossover with the Cross Coupe GTE at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. While it's still affixed with the tinsel of a concept car, there are a lot of details that will arrive on VW's eventual production crossover. The wheelbase of the GTE is said to be identical to the production model, although this five-passenger CUV is actually about a foot shorter overall, Volkswagen's chief of design, Klaus Bischoff, told Autoblog. The overall shape of the GTE's greenhouse, meanwhile, will also be very similar to the car that'll come to market, although more progressive from the C-pillar forward (that's right kids, that sexy sloping rear end isn't for production). Despite the aggressive rake, a peek in the GTE's trunk revealed room for the CUV's third row. Beyond hinting at a new addition to the company's lineup, the GTE also gives us a look at future Volkswagen design, including the use of four-element LED running lamps. Body lines will be as sharp as is feasible. Look for the production version of Volkswagen's seven-passenger SUV at the end of next year. Until then, check out the two-row concept, courtesy of our live images from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.
