1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper Pop-up Fuel Injected 1.9l
The good:
Vehicle is in over all great condition. Engine was rebuilt at 136,651 with replacement injectors, heads, thermostat and intake manifold boots. All records and manuals were kept since first owned. Only 30,000 miles on rebuild!
- Clean title in hand, please feel free to see the clean CarFax.
- New GoWesty updated LP tank with the new style regulator. I was going to install a refrigerator delete kit and my energy efficient Engel fridge/freezer MT45 cooler (cost me about $1000) that was installed in my other Vanagon, I just never got around to it. I also purchased the Coleman port-o-potty that sells on GoWesty’s website that slides under the shelf of the delete kit to be used in case of an "emergancy" (no worries, it was not used). All three of these will be included (Engel refrigerator/freezer, the Coleman port-o-potty and the GoWesty fridge delete kit) with the purchase of the Vanagon if the Buy it Now is used. The original operating refriderator is still installed with the original line. Currently it's disconnected using a brass fitting which can be reversed if the new owner wishes to do so.
- New GoWesty skylight.
- Water tank holds fine and works great with the sink.
- Stove is nice and clean and operates fine.
- All lights are operating and vehicle is running strong.
- A dealer installed Behr Air Conditioning unit is installed on the vehicle. I did remove the compressor to use it to check another buddy’s AC operation to confirm that his compressor was the problem…it was. I reinstalled the compressor but did not hook the AC lines and belt backup, I wanted to replace the o-rings before I did. I eventually got the o-rings, but never got around to installing them. I will throw those in with the purchase of the vehicle.
- Captain’s chairs are in good shape and operate freely.
- New battery.
- Tires are in good shape. If the Buy It Now is used I will also throw in (5) 16” Audi A4 aluminum five spoke rims that had the centers professionally machined out to fit the hub center on the Vanagon (cost me about $700).
- Upgraded heavy duty rear hatch struts.
- Original bug screens and shades are included.
- A Thule cargo rack with load bars and AeroCargo container is included. I had it installed on my last Vanagon and just have not installed it on this one (pictures can be sent on request, it currently is not installed). It's great for camping, gives you a secure place to store items out of the way of the site (cost me about $1000).
- The pop-up was replaced with an up-graded three sided screened unit with “zipper” screen windows, which is in excellent condition with no rips or tears.
The not so good:
- The paint is starting to bubble a little bit in the typical Vanagon areas (see photos).
- There is a oil leak coming from the front main seal (if this is corrected the engine would be dry).
- There are various “dings/dents” on the body, the most notable is the on the p/s door (cause by a faulty mirror that was fixed, see photos).
- The heater core switch above the spare wheel is pushed open so heat constantly comes out on your feet (I can switch it back for the person who purchases it). I just liked it because it kept the cabin warm in the winter and the engine cool in the summer. I was going to but a manual switch under the dash like everyone else, I just never got around to it.
- The table behind the driver's side captain's chair is missing.
- The arm rests on the driver's and passenger side doors are missing.
- The small rubber step-up mat on the passenger side is missing.
- The small brown door latch on the water tank access door is broken.
- The curtains could use to be replaced; they are sun bleached pretty bad but operate fine.
This was an original California Vanagon, that went to Colorado and now resides in NJ. It just needs a home that will love it as much as we do. I am moving to the city and parking is very limited and costly. It’s not in my best interest to take this with me, but at the same time I will not give it away. If I have to pay for parking just to keep it, I will. It’s a great vehicle and hate to see it go. I have included MANY high resolution photos for a further visual inspection. Please be advised that I have this vehicle listed locally and there is a possibility that the auction can end early. Cashier's check, money order or cash transaction. $500 dollar deposit upon auction close via Paypal.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
