1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl, 1.9l, 4-speed, 165k on 2040-cars

1985 Volkswagen Vanagon GL, 1.9L, 165K 5-spd My Dad and I bought it with the intent of making it into a project car and occasional camper, but have decided to focus on another project and must free up space in the garage. Until 2011 the van was in Virginia, garaged in NY after that, which probably explains the clean wheel wells and frame rails. The van starts and runs, but begins smoking out of the exhaust once warmed up. The good: - The engine, and all the accessories are dry - no leaks on the ground - Transmission shifts through the gears well - Oil is clean - no signs of head gasket failure - Matching Cooper/Douglas tires in the front/rear, respectively, about 50%, good condition - VR-3 AM/FM/CD/USB/Aux in-dash unit with after-market speakers - Turn-signals/headlights/marker lights/brake lights all work - All dash lights work on ignition, no warning lights on when engine is running - Interior lights operational - Wipers/washer operational - HVAC cannot be tested - missing knobs - Interior could use good vacuuming and a shampoo, but is in pretty good shape otherwise - For the year, exceptionally rust-free and clean wheel-wells, underside, and frame rails - Official Factory Repair Manual included w/ sale The bad: - Rear hatch struts need to be replaced - A dent in the rear bumper - Surface rust on the inside of the rear hatch - Some dents on the body (see pics for more details), some are covered up in spray-paint (not an exact paint match) - Bumpers are missing end-caps: front left/right, rear right More pictures are available upon request. |

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
