This is a clean solid example of the Vanagon Westfalia. Has normal wear for a vehicle of this age but it has never been in an accident or repainted. Most exterior damage is shown around the rear fenders and the passenger panel in front of the rear fender. Nothing major or too distracting. Clear coat is coming off in selected areas most notably on the front above the headlights. This van is an excellent restoration candidate. Mechanically sound, the engine runs strong and the transmission shifts smooth. I don't know what the mileage was when the engine work was done but the engine does have AMC cylinder heads so either the engine was rebuilt or the heads were replaced. No under carriage rust. Everything functions as it should except the a/c which needs to be charged.  I bought the van with the intent to restore and ship to Hawaii but my plans fell through. I have replaced numerous things to get her in good shape.

I upgraded the wheels to 16" alloys with Michelin 215/65/16 tires. It has a center console, front bra, rear bug screen, shady boy awning, Thule rack and new pop top seal kit from GoWesty.
This 1989 model is unusual in that it did not come with power windows,power door locks or power mirrors. I put on the power mirrors as a personal preference but they adjust manually.
Interior is very clean and complete except for rear cushion behind the rear seat.
Front seats swivel, full privacy curtains all around and snap in front windshield privacy curtain included. I don't think the stove was ever used as it still retains the protective film on the back splash. Pop top bed is in excellent condition.  The canvas on the pop top had a hole on the driver's side so I patched it with gray marine canvas. It works fine but I planned to replace the top with a new three window model as this original one only has the front screen.
Recent work performed
Tune up
CV joints greased
Front wheel bearings replaced
Fuel pump/filter replaced
Gas tank drained
Fuel injectors replaced
Water pump replaced
Antenna replaced
Wheels/tires replaced
Mirrors replaced
New fire extinguisher

Title was lost but I have had the DMV forms signed and notarized for new owner. CA registration requires $700 in back fees as this was not registered non-op so California bidders keep this in mind while bidding. There are no back registration fees due in any other states.

Please ask any questions and I will try to answer as best as I can.
I can take and send pictures of anything you'd like just ask.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.

Pope meets with family who drove 13,000 miles to see him

Mon, Sep 28 2015

Pope Francis met Sunday with a family who made a 13,000-mile trip over 194 days from Argentina to Philadelphia in an old Volkswagen van. Francis spent time with fellow Argentinians Catire Walker and Noel Zemborain and their four children, talking about their visit and praying. Zemborain told the Associated Press that Francis told her that they were crazy to drive so far with their children. She said it was like meeting an old friend and Francis hugged the children. "We couldn't believe it. They called us this morning (and) we were like in shock," she said after Sunday night's Mass. "It is like being with an old friend. He was so warm. He told us we were crazy. He made jokes. "The children got to hug him a lot. They couldn't leave him. Not at all protocol, not at all formal, it was like being with a friend." Walker and Zemborain quit their jobs in food service and marketing to lead their children on the unforgettable tour of the Americas, using savings and soliciting donations to fund the trip to the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. Along the way they made 12 border crossings and stayed with dozens of host families, did lots of sightseeing and documented the trip online. They schooled their children — Cala, 12; Dimas, 8; Mia, 5; and Carmin, 3 — with the help of a distance learning program. The family said they got a call at 6 a.m. Sunday that Francis wanted to meet with them at the Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary, where he stayed this weekend. Francis told the family he had been following their trip, they wrote in a Facebook post. Zemborain, Walker and the kids plan to continue traveling until November, when they will fly home from Miami. They were going to send the van by ship, but then a relative volunteered to drive it back to Buenos Aires from Florida. Francis celebrated Mass on Sunday that drew hundreds of thousands to downtown Philadelphia. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
