Up for sale is a 1981 VW Vanagon. I believe I am the second owner of this vehicle that has spent most of it's life in Missouri. I bought and drove
the Vanagon up from Missouri to get a project vehicle that was rust-free. There is NO structural rust on this vehicle and it has not been in any accidents according to CarFax. There is a small spot of surface rust on the corner of the windshield and the rear hatch window. The interior is worn but useable. I have two good front seats that are from a later model Vanagon that should bolt right in. The front door seals and window rubbers are worn, but I have a set of front doors from a later-model vanagon that has very good seals and rubbers that are ready to install and paint. A brand new GEX Powermaster engine with all of the performance options was installed (by the local VW dealer) about 5 years ago and has very little mileage on it. The engine cost me about $3000 and the installation ran about $1300. Beyond that, here is a partial list of new parts installed as I was working on the restoration. New Gas tank. New fuel pump and fuel pump relay. New brakes. New brake and clutch master cylinder. New Bilstien shocks front and back. New Clutch package. New full coverage rubber front floor mats. Front Grill. New battery. New brake and clutch footpads. GT Performance Exhaust. Also included is a header-type quiet pack exhaust. This is a good solid vehicle that would probably be back on the road with little effort. What you are bidding on is a good 99% RUST-FREE southern VW with a brand new engine and many new parts. This will need to be shipped or picked up locally |

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
Cost-cutting measures put VW Beetle in jeopardy
Tue, Mar 10 2015Volkswagen is on a mission to cut costs. That means producing more models across its various brands based on the same platforms and powertrains, but the latest word from Germany has it that it will also mean cutting some of the VW brand's less successful models. First on the chopping block, according to German publication Der Spiegel, is the three-door version of the Polo, which will reportedly cede its place to the five-door version exclusively. The elimination of that model alone is said to save VW a good 200 million euros, putting it on its way towards reducing the brand's costs by a targeted five billion euros. The Polo isn't the only one in danger, though. The Eos, as we know, is not due to be replaced, but the future of the Beetle could be in jeopardy as well. The Beetle may be one of VW's most iconic models, but is hardly its most successful in terms of sales. With the 2014 annual report due to be released shortly, the last full-year sales figures had Volkswagen selling 109,517 Beetles in 2013. That may be more than four times the number of Scirocco models it sold, but hardly puts a dent in the 871,413 Jettas, 824,629 Golfs and 725,291 Polos it sold during the same year.
