Up for auction is my 1980 Vanagon Westfalia. It is a "project" vehicle, and I am selling because my wife just had twins, therefore leaving me no time to finish. Disclaimer-If you have NO expectations, then you won't be disappointed! This van needs a lot of time and attention to be nice again.
I spent most of my time and money on the engine. It starts, runs, drives very well, BUT I would recommend a trailer to get it home since the tank leaks when it's topped off.
The fuel pump relay doesn't function, so I installed a toggle switch to activate it.
Engine: New pistons, new rings, new heads, new injectors, new plugs, new wires, new coil, new electronic ignition, had alternator professionally rebuilt, new belt. Starts and runs really well.
Transmission: replaced leaking seals
Body: Very amateur (me!) paint and body work. Lots of bondo in rust holes on rocker panels, terrible paint job. Looks great at 60 mph, but not when you are standing next to it. Removed all the windows before painting and replaced with all new window seals (except for the windshield, which is cracked and only held in place with an adhesive/sealant...although I have the seal for it, just never installed it on the bad windshield)
Interior: It is complete (except passenger seat; missing] but mainly gutted, and I have everything that I removed.
Tires: new
Gas tank: leaks when full, and fuel gauge doesn't work.
Top; repainted
Tent; original

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
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.
