1984 Vanagon G.L. in very good condition for its age. I am the second owner, having purchased it from the estate of the first owner about four years ago. I have the origanal window sticker. Owned by non-smokers. I did an engine conversion about 3 years ago, replacing the 1.9 four cyl with a G.M. 2.6 V-6 that now has about 20,000 miles. The automatic trans was rebuilt a little before that. I used a Kennedy Engineering adaptor. Also replaced at that time were, radiator and plumbing, all brake components, front wheel bearings, high tork starter(also form Kennedy), The engine has a mild mid-range grind cam and lifters, a 650 C.F.M. Edelbrock carb, Edelbrock tork master intake, and custom duel exhaust. This bus can cruise at 70 all day and will climb any hill with ease, and still gets 15-17 MPG( about the same as the 4 cyl). More recent new parts include, aternater, belt, and battery. The engine and drive train are in excellent condition. I painted the van at the time of the conversion, there are some minor rust issues and some scratches and dings now( check out the pictures). There is a recently developed front end problem that needs attention. The upper control arm bushings on both sides are worn. The van is stilll driveable but will need this issue adressed. I have the bushings and they will be included with the van. Also included is every thing else needed to overhaul the front end. Upper and lower ball joints, new shocks, new lower control arm bushings, complete tie-rods, new steering rack boots, and front radius rod bushings. I don't have the patience, or time to make the repair. Thanks for looking, I will be glad to answer any questions. The buyer is responcible for the shipping or movement of the vehicle, must be moved within 2 weeks of payment in full. A $500.00 deposite to pay pal within 24 hours of auction close, balance due within 2 weeks. vehicle not released until balance paid. Cash or Certified check cleared.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

Volkswagen promises more aggressive design for sedans, crossovers

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Every one of our Volkswagen Jetta and Passat reviews is guaranteed to include this word in the comments, aimed at its exterior design: "Boring." The brand says that's all about to change, telling a group of journalists during a tour of its design studio in Wolfsburg that designs will be more market specific; as Automotive News put it, that means "more aggressive" designs for the US that "will bare their teeth and flex their muscles," since the solid-yet-unoffensive look hasn't got VW past its two-percent market share here. Yes, we've heard this before from the Volkswagen Group - Audi has been promising to pump up the volume on its designs for years now, we're still waiting to hear that music. But VW brand head designer Klaus Bischoff says that the look of the coming midsize crossover that will come in around the size of the Audi Q7 "has to be bold. It has to be a statement," and the results of US focus groups have already dictated design changes to the original idea. AN said it takes cues from the Cross Coupe GTE, with a notched grille, sculpted hood, and deep character lines along the flanks. It sounds like baby steps for other models, though. The Passat gets a brand new design forward of the A-pillar, and new taillights. The new Tiguan has a shorter front overhang and a longer rear overhang, rounded wheel arches, and gets 2.2 inches longer. There'll be a long-wheelbase version of the Tiguan that grows by eight inches, which should give it livable room for four passengers in front and back. Beneath that will be a Golf-based crossover to compete in the compact segment with the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3.
