We are offering at auction a 1982 VW Westfalia pop top camper Diesel. We have the receipt for approx. $3600 for a VW factory rebuilt engine in 2001 which lists the mileage at the time as 3,975.the current odometer reading is approx 38,600 so we're guessing the engine has about 35k on it.The van is being sold as true mileage unknown because the original odometer must have been replaced around the time and mileage the engine was replaced and we have no way of knowing for certain.We installed a rebuilt fuel injection pump,fuel and oil filters,timing belt, glow plugs,manifold to muffler pipe and tailpipe and new front grille. We have the receipts for all the new parts as well as many old receipts ,besides the one for the engine,the original warranty booklet,and the original sales contract for the van to the original 67 year old couple that bought it for $16k+ in Fla.The engine starts very quickly in sub freezing temps and runs very strong.The clutch engages smoothly and the trans shifts with no issues,tires all match with approx. 75% tread left.The van drives straight,stops properly and although you'll win no races it drives great. There was rust thru on the front corner of the sliding door and in the panel between the top of the front bumper and bottom of the lower grille which was cut out and replaced by welded in metal(one of the pics show the new metal before paint)we also welded in a new drivers side body panel between the door and rear dogleg which had  just begun to break thru with a metal replacement panel from The Bus Depot. Those areas were the only rust thru on the van. Once repaired they were painted with the correct factory code paint although it is a shade lighter than the remaining original paint. The only project we left undone is the replacement of the material on the pop up part of the roof(avail.@ The Bus Depot for about $300)The roof operates as it should but the canvas has deteriorated. All the lights,directionals,wipers,horn,gages,speedo,odometer and aftermarket Kenwood radio work. We've driven the van several hundred miles without a hiccup and a lot of enjoyment. We encourage inspection and a test drive if possible and will respond to emails. If you'd prefer to speak with us on the phone let us know and we'll provide a #. All inspections and questions must come BEFORE the end of the auction. Also we monitor our auctions closely and will not accept any zero rated bidders or those with questionable feedback. We cancel and block those bidders. Thank you.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
