Extremely Rare 1986 Vanagon Gl With 19,634 Registered Miles on 2040-cars
Stockbridge, Georgia, United States
|
How extremely rare is this a 1986 Vanagon GL 19,634 registered miles Oh yes, the odometer works. Driven hardly at all the last eleven years and parked for the last three by the previous owner. I bought it to install a turbo diesel in, but once I cleaned it up and got it running I just couldn’t bring myself to start the project. I have since procured a Syncro for the diesel conversion. The Good: 19,634 original miles Original Paint and Interior, it has spent its life here in Georgia, so no rust 95%+ tread remaining on tires(new or very close) Everything works including A/C, rear wiper and washer, A/C converted to R134 recharged and blows cold, belts and some hoses replaced, oil and filtered changed Engine always starts right up and runs smooth(it does have a slight valve tick if it is left to set) Transmission shifts smoothly, doesn’t seem to leak or use any fluid. Steering is tight, as you would expect on such a low mileage Vanagon. It rides and drives like new The seats are like new (except for a hole in drivers-pic). A rip at rear of sliding door panel The not so good: The paint is original but with typical nicks, dings, a few small scratches and a small dent by the passenger side brake light (see pics). Clear coat is not peeling anywhere but has some fading in areas. That said, it cleans up and shines nicely Exterior trim is sun faded around windows Dash is cracked, some interior brown trim pieces have become brittle(front door grab bars and window cranks, rear washer cap cover), map pocket has a crack It has been four of five years since I have seen a Vanagon with this low miles and this nice of original condition. Not that many out there left like this. I have a clear title in hand. I require a $500.00 nonrefundable deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction via paypal by the winning bidder, the balance by wire transfer. I will accept wire transfer of funds to my bank only, no checks. Buyer responcible for shipping costs, funds must be in my bank account before I will release the car for shipment. Car sold as is, no warranty implied or expressed. I am not interested in trades unless you have vacation property in northern Georgia. |

Former Audi chief designer Wolfgang Egger leaves Italdesign
Sat, Dec 27 2014The latest word from the international community of automotive designers has it that Wolfgang Egger is leaving Italdesign, but just where the accomplished designer will land next and who will take his place remain big question marks. Egger is a designer who has bounced back and forth between Italy and Germany over the course of his career. He was born in Germany but studied in Milan. He began his career at Alfa Romeo in 1989 and was named its chief designer by 1993 before being head-hunted by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 to head up the design department at Seat. A few years later he went returned to Italy to run the Lancia design department, and was subsequently renamed to the same post at Alfa Romeo. In 2007 he went back to his native Germany to head up the Audi design office, over which he assumed complete responsibility by 2012, but left Audi in 2013 to run Italdesign. For those unfamiliar, Italdesign is the studio founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro (pictured at left next to Egger) back in 1968 but which, along with many other Italian design houses, fell on hard times in recent years. The Volkswagen Group swooped in to rescue the troubled studio in 2010, turning it into something of an in-house advanced design department to provide an alternative perspective on the direction in which the group and its various brands could take their respective designs moving forward. With Egger now leaving its helm, Italdesign and its German parent company will need to find his replacement, and we're sure they'll announce one in due course. The bigger question on our minds, however, is where Egger himself will head next. Given the path his career has taken to date, we wouldn't be surprised to see him land elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group or find a new role in the expanding Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire. Then again, Egger could find it time to open an entirely new chapter. Watch this space.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
