1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl Westfalia Camper Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Glendale, Arizona, United States
|
This is an all original rust free desert dry Volkswagen GL Westfalia camper. This factory conversion camper van is fitted with the optional uplevel Wolfsburg Edition trim, and it was the top of the line Volkswagen factory camper for 1984. It features the plush interior cloth seats with an extra bench seat in the middle of the cab. This is a running operatiing Vanagon with the water cooled 4 cylinder engine, manual transmission and air conditioning. The tires hold air and the transmission shifts well through all the gears. It has a sink, stove, and refrigerator. There is a rip in the rear bench seat cushion and a small sunroof sectional panel is missing. This vehicle has seen infrequent use for the past several years and requires a complete engine tune-up and other periodic maintenance to restore reliable roadworthiness. There are some tears in the pop-up tent near the front fastening zipper. The gas struts which hold the rear hatch in the up position are weak and require replacement. As seen in the pictures, there are dents in the body on both sides, the rear bumper and right rear tail light need replacements. The raised fiberglass roof panel appears to be in excellent original condition. This Vanagon is an excellent candidate for simple restoration or customization to individual taste. If you have read this auction this far, you know that sound rust-free Vanagons for restoration are difficult to find. When restored, they are very practical and efficient recreational vehicles. When the reserve price is met, I will include shipping to southern/northern California or Utah. $500 non refundable cash deposit by wire is due within 24 hours of the close of auction with balance by wire or cashier's check within 7 days for release to shipper. |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
