1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl Westfalia Camper Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Glendale, Arizona, United States
|
This is an all original rust free desert dry Volkswagen GL Westfalia camper. This factory conversion camper van is fitted with the optional uplevel Wolfsburg Edition trim, and it was the top of the line Volkswagen factory camper for 1984. It features the plush interior cloth seats with an extra bench seat in the middle of the cab. This is a running operatiing Vanagon with the water cooled 4 cylinder engine, manual transmission and air conditioning. The tires hold air and the transmission shifts well through all the gears. It has a sink, stove, and refrigerator. There is a rip in the rear bench seat cushion and a small sunroof sectional panel is missing. This vehicle has seen infrequent use for the past several years and requires a complete engine tune-up and other periodic maintenance to restore reliable roadworthiness. There are some tears in the pop-up tent near the front fastening zipper. The gas struts which hold the rear hatch in the up position are weak and require replacement. As seen in the pictures, there are dents in the body on both sides, the rear bumper and right rear tail light need replacements. The raised fiberglass roof panel appears to be in excellent original condition. This Vanagon is an excellent candidate for simple restoration or customization to individual taste. If you have read this auction this far, you know that sound rust-free Vanagons for restoration are difficult to find. When restored, they are very practical and efficient recreational vehicles. When the reserve price is met, I will include shipping to southern/northern California or Utah. $500 non refundable cash deposit by wire is due within 24 hours of the close of auction with balance by wire or cashier's check within 7 days for release to shipper. |

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
