Condition: The major plus of this vehicle is it is all original (not many like it left). Stove, sink/faucet, refrigerator, two burner stove top are in working order. Lots of cabinets, shelves and a large closet. Driver and passenger seats and upholstery in great condition, as well as the two front chairs swivel for a living room type feel. The canvas in the pop top was installed brand new when I bought the van 4 years ago and is in great condition. Rear bench seat that folds down to a double bed as well as wider bed under pop-top (sleeps 4). Closable screens all-around. Luggage compartment, front, top of vehicle. Outside connections for city water and electricity. Propane tank and filler connection. There are a couple minor details to note. The refrigerator latch recently broke, an easy inexpensive fix. The rear wall panel has a slight rip, yet the overall interior is in good shape. The windshield has a crack that extends the lower part of the window. The knob on the right window roller came off, but still works fine. Extra Features: Stereo CD. Auxiliary battery that automatically separates from vehicle battery when parked, yet charges again when camper is started with primary battery. This battery powers refrigerator, lights, etc. to be used when not driving. This feature also gives the driver the option to jump the main battery if and when needed, so as never to be stranded. The VW Camper mechanical aspects saw many changes over the years, 1980-1991. The beginning of 1983 was the last year of air cooled engines, and this vehicle is one of the first water cooled VW Vanagons which is a lot better than the air cooled sister vans. This Camper is for someone who is looking for a fun vehicle and wants to experience a Camper for having years of wonderful camping trips. History: I bought the van from Northwesty in Washington 4 years ago and had most servicing done there, including a new fuel line a year ago. The rear brakes were replaced a few months ago at Wedge VW in Phoenix, AZ. Due to the servicing (about 3,000 miles per year) and regular maintenance, makes this a clean running vehicle. It has been thoroughly gone through and all mechanical issues have been repaired. The Vanagon camping models are becoming increasingly scarce and one that is all original is hard to find.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job
Tue, Mar 24 2015Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.
Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
