Fully restored in 2006 , 210,000 on body, 28,000 on rebuild. New thermostat , waterpump and hoses. Flushed with the CORRECT hot pink coolant . New spare tire. Watercooled not airboxer. No leaks. Garage kept. Driven once a week other than trips . November 2012 it was driven from Knoxville tn to central Arizona and back . Tried and true. Good tires . Wish I could keep her forever. The paint is immaculate , not a single ding . Even have the mini ice trays ! Car has been babied, ran on premium gas and synthetic oil."
This wonderful vans name is turtle dragon . I know that sounds odd but to me it means it moves great distances ( slow and steady ) and with a sense of adventure.
This van had immediate concerns from its last listing for being a bit vague . This is because I thought pictures alone would speak for themselves . I guess not !
First off people had serious concerns about an accident in 2002 . This was a scuff on the bumper before its restoration in 2006 . There is absolutely no flaws in the paint . I would wager to say its the best paint on any vw on eBay currently . No bs . Immaculate .
I purchased this van from the second owners . The original owner after its restoration was an older gentleman who completed bucket list adventures in Arizona and up state new York from what I understand . I purchased it from the second owners wife after he passed suddenly from a stroke . It was his pride and joy . This van is absolutely complete .
I contacted the man who restored it and with him being completely out of my purchasing I felt I got straight answers that were cohesive with the previous owner . He mentioned this van was stripped and galvanized . Which is a process involving a zinc coating to resist rust and an immaculate paint Job that he said was nearly $300 a gallon paint and top coat . He mentioned this was his final restoration and stripped another van to finish it off. Didn't spare expense .
The body has 200,000 and 28,000 on rebuild . I'm not some mechanic car guy who can tell you a bunch of technicalities . Just experience on the road and an experienced mechanics approval . I do understand how to baby a vehicle and have kept her clean and stored dry .
Synthetic oil and premium gas .
Extras with the van are a dry cover for garage , sun reflector window visors that fit in every window . Extra large table for inside .( that's two tables . ) pillow top for top bunk . There's also a small port o potti that has a cover that matches the van .
Discreet . Never used .
Every bulb from license plate lights to headlights are functioning . No damage . Looks practically new inside . A very well treated garage kept van.
Every bulb from license plate lights to headlights are functioning . No damage . Looks practically new inside . A very well treated garage kept van.
When I purchased I took it to the vw specialist MF AUTO in Knoxville. The shop foreman looked at it for six hours and could only recommend a new spare tire. His words " I would drive her across country " and that's just what me and turtle dragon did to get acquainted . From Knoxville to central Arizona's hopi mesas and back . I did this in winter and it performed expertly . Even surviving a snow storm In nearly 10 degree weather.now that was an adventure .
I have receipts for its new transmission when it was restored . All Bosch hi temp hoses . New cooling system with care to use the hot pink euro coolant that is quite pricey . I flushed fluids and did oil change upon my return. Tires are great . Belts all new .
Another interesting thing about this van is that it was a special order from Germany. Mind the " specially built for plaque on dash " It has euro bumper and plates . Retro fitted headlights and custom front end. Really a head turner . None just like this . I have all original Manuals and every key . Ac and heat work .
Another common question " why am I selling "
Well I would like to die In the van but I have hopes of starting my first business . This being one of my possessions that not necessary in my life currently though I wish I could rationalize different .
Negatives - could use two New speakers in the back and a higher quality stereo . Ac could stand to be charged though the back unit will blow your hair from front seat . The tint has slightly turned purple from use of amonia cleaner, but in no way does it pull from its beauty . Also it could use a new gasket on the windshield wiper cleaner reservoir . This commonly shrinks with age , can't blame the van though its going on 30 years old. I have taken many pictures in the brightest light possible to show the paint and body. There are no dings , no scrapes . Perfect paint and body. This is no exaggeration , you will see in person if you are serious and I welcome a magnifying glass !
Hopefully this listing will get the attention it deserves with a stronger write up . This is a Tennessee van . No salty winter roads and lightly used van. This has never been a daily driver. Just trips for all previous owners.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
Jay Leno brings a rotary-powered VW Beetle to the garage
Mon, Aug 1 2016It takes something really unique or inventive to pique Jay Leno's interest. His show, Jay Leno's Garage, has featured everything from concours-worthy classics to completely custom, home-built machinery. How do you get Leno to feature one of more than 20 million Beetles on his program? Stick a turbocharged rotary engine under the hood. The Beetle's owner, Mario Markakis, swapped the car's stock flat four-cylinder for the Wankel engine from a 1990 Mazda RX-7 Series 5 Turbo. The engine's 250 horsepower are fed through a reinforced version of the Beetle's stock four-speed transmission. That's about five times the original engine's output. It works well, with the car putting down some impressive times at the drag strip. Markakis did most of the work to the Beetle in his garage. In addition to the engine swap, he's modified the car's brakes, suspension, and interior. Check out the video to hear all the details of this custom Wankel-powered Volkswagen.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It 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.
