This 1987 VW Vanagon Westfalia is a gem. You will be hard pressed to find another one as clean and well cared-for. It has spent nearly all its life here in Arizona which accounts for it being completely rust-free. Every facet of the vehicle has been meticulously maintained inside and out and EVERYTHING works exactly the way it was designed to. The doors and hatch close quietly and effortlessly. The brand new Walker Quietflow muffler makes it purr like a kitten. Privacy tint and 360° curtains provide privacy and security. The A/C was converted to R134a May 2013. All glass is chip/crack-free and crystal clear. I am a professional detailer so you can rest assured I spared no effort nor expense in the regular maintenance as well as its preparation-for-sale of this vehicle. There are no rips, tears or snags anywhere on any cloth or vinyl surface. All of the interior trim as well as the carpets are clean and sharp. The engine and transmission are strong and healthy. I travel on the freeway at 75+ MPH without hesitation and still have 1/3 of the pedal left. The brakes are about 80% life left and the Sumitomo tires are at about 30% wear. Aside from the stereo and speakers, everything inside is original and still looks crisp and new. Outside, I have taken the finish to a completely new level of shiny. Its finish is completely swirl-free and you can count the door dings and/or tiny chips literally on one hand. All of the seals and gaskets have been revitalized and moisturized eliminating any black transfer to you or cloths as well as keeping them healthy and crack-free. The fiberglass on the pop-top has been de-oxidized and treated to protect it from the elements as well as reduce the rate of oxidation. There are no cracks in any of the trim plastic (i.e., the dash, etc) nor are there any scratches, mars, chips, etc., in any of the cabinets and panels inside.
It's never been in an accident of any kind and overall, the van looks like it was just taken out of a time capsule, it's that clean. No dents, scratches or basically anything that could/would remotely detract from its excellent condition. It comes with a clean, clear title and has a clean Carfax as well.

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
