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 Golf R 400 will come to US
Wed, Apr 1 2015If you're like us, and have been drooling over the Volkswagen Golf R 400 concept since it was first unveiled in Beijing last year, we've got some potentially good news for you. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, member of the board of management responsible for development at Volkswagen, told Autoblog that the Golf R 400 will definitely come to the US... if it gets the production green light, anyway. Neusser says that the US market has had a hugely positive reaction to the seventh-generation Golf family. The new hatch won both Motor Trend Car of the Year and North American Car of the Year, and Volkswagen has expanded the Golf range to include a bunch of new variants, including the electric e-Golf and recently released SportWagen. The Golf R 400 would "fit very well into this strategy," says Neusser. The hotter Golfs have been successful, too. When Volkswagen opened the order books for the 2015 Golf R, the yearly allocation for the US sold out in just 11 hours. Neusser says the R 400 will "show how sporty the Golf family can be." We're certainly in favor of this hottest hatch hitting our market. All we need now, is for Volkswagen to officially give it the go-ahead.
US prepares to sue Fiat Chrysler over diesel emissions testing
Thu, May 18 2017NEW YORK - The Justice Department plans to file a civil lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV over excess diesel emissions as early as this week if no agreement is reached with the Italian-American automaker, two sources briefed on the matter said on Wednesday. The Environmental Protection Agency in January accused FCA of illegally using undisclosed software to allow excess diesel emissions in about 104,000 cars and SUVs, the result of a probe that stemmed from regulators' investigation of rival Volkswagen AG. The EPA and California Air Resources Board have been in talks with FCA about the excess emissions and whether the agencies would approve the sale of 2017 FCA diesel models. A federal judge in California has set a May 24 hearing on a series of lawsuits filed by owners of vehicles against Fiat Chrysler and the Justice Department is expected to file its action by then if no agreement is reached. FCA said on Wednesday it believed that any litigation would be "counterproductive" to ongoing discussions with the EPA and California Air Resources Board. The company added that "in the case of any litigation, FCA US will defend itself vigorously, particularly against any claims that the company deliberately installed defeat devices to cheat U.S. emissions tests." The Justice Department took the same procedural step in early 2016 against Volkswagen, nearly four months after the German company admitted using software to emit excess diesel emissions in nearly 500,000 vehicles. The Justice Department has had an ongoing criminal investigation into FCA's conduct since last year, Reuters reported in January. The probe has turned up internal emails written in Italian and other documents about engine development and emissions issues, sources briefed on the probe said. U.S. regulators said FCA failed to disclose engine management software in 104,000 U.S. 2014-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 3.0-liter diesel engines. The European Commission has launched legal action against Italy for failing to respond to allegations of emission-test cheating by Fiat Chrysler in a procedure that could lead to the country being taken to court. The EPA has said the maximum possible fine against FCA could be $4.6 billion. In February, FCA said it had received requests for information and subpoenas from U.S. federal and state authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, for diesel issues.
