This camper runs so good, I can hardly believe it.

This van is ready for a very easy restoration, or leave it as it is as a survivor.

This is a 99.9% rust free Volkswagen high top camper.

The conversion is done by a company called Sundial.

 

Here are the specifics.

 

BODY:

The body is in 99.9% rust free condition.  I have taken a picture of the only spot of rust that I have found.  It is the size of a silver dollar.  This van is as clean as they come.  The body is super straight.  I have taken photos of any obvious body damage.  The crease in the door happened as the man was removing it from the yard where I bought it.  There are only 3 dents that I know of and a little tiny bit of old filler on the nose, which is very common.  This vehicle is in superb condition for a restoration or a daily driver as she sits.

 

PAINT:

The paint looks alright, but is faded.  This was a repaint to make it blue.  The van was originally red.  The door jams are still red.

 

RUST:

99.9% rust free!!! Photo of only spot that I found.  Arizona car.

 

INTERIOR:

This is a walk thru cab.  The seats are complete but do need to be re-upholstered.  The wood for the interior camper conversion is complete, but will need to be refinished or use the panels for templates.  The sink unit is still there and appears to be usable with just a little cleaning and maintenance.

 

ENGINE:

The engine runs beautifully.  No smoke, no ugly sounds.  The van fires right up and drives like a dream.  Very solid engine.  1600cc dual port engine.

 

TRANSMISSION:

The transmission is the standard four speed manual transmission.  It shifts through the gears like a bus should.

 

TIRES:

The tires still have the nibs on them.  The do have a tiny bit of dry cracks on the side, but they are very tiny.  You decide to change them or not.

 

TITLE:

Yes, I have a clear open title from the company that I bought the van from.  It is clean and clear and NOT a salvage title.

 

STORAGE:

If the van is paid for in full I will store the van for up to 3 months free of charge.  I will not take any responsibility for anything that may happen to the van during this time.

 

SHIPPING:

I will assist in loading the van, but all costs associated with the shipping are the responsibility of the buyer.  I do occasionally drive from Arizona to Florida.  If we come to an agreement, I can deliver the van anywhere along the I-10 for a previously agreed upon price.  Call first to make a deal.

 

QUESTIONS:

Feel free to ask any questions.  You can call me at 602-625-1579  Thanks, Pete

Least satisfying vehicle rankings seek to highlight the worst cars of the year

Sun, Feb 5 2023

Consumer Reports polls its members on all sorts of topics related to how they buy and use products ranging from mobile phones to humidifiers for indoor plants. Cars are regularly one of CR’s most interesting topics, and its recent study on the least satisfying vehicles to own offers insights into the cars people wish they hadnÂ’t purchased. CR polled thousands of members with questions about what they liked and disliked about the vehicle theyÂ’d owned for a few years. When asked if they would definitely repurchase the same car, the following vehicles came back as the least likely to be purchased a second time: Kia Forte: 51% would buy again Nissan Altima: 51% would buy again Nissan Kicks: 49% would buy again Volkswagen Taos: 48% would buy again Kia Seltos: 48% would buy again Jeep Compass: 46% would buy again Mercedes-Benz GLA: 45% would buy again Infiniti QX50: 40% would buy again Mercedes-Benz GLB: 39% would buy again Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport: 38% would buy again When Autoblog tested the VW Atlas Cross Sport in March 2022, we liked the styling and the price was right, but it lagged rivals in driving excitement and interior quality. A number of recalls donÂ’t help the Cross SportÂ’s cause much, either, as some models have more than a dozen actions by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Even the 2023 model already has four recalls. The annoyance of recalls and the hassle of just-average reliability ratings could have played into the Cross SportÂ’s place as the least satisfying vehicle. On the other end of the spectrum, the Chevrolet Corvette earned the top spot as CR's most satisfying car. The Porsche 911, Rivian R1T, Ford Maverick Hybrid, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 round out the top-five most satisfying vehicles to own. Given the rabid following the 911 has built over the years and the insane performance Chevy derived from the latest Corvette, itÂ’s not surprising to see them in the top spots.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
