THIS WESTY IS IN NICE CONDITION FOR A 30 YEAR OLD VAN. I DID A SUBARU 2.5 DOHC CONVERSION AT ABOUT 139,000 MI. THIS CONVERSION WOULD COST ABOUT $7,500.00 --- THIS INCLUDES STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST, NEW HIGH TORQUE STARTER, NEW CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, FLYWHEEL, NEW RADIATOR, NEW FRONT AND REAR HEATER CORES. THE ENGINE CAME FROM A 1999 SUBARU OUTBACK WITH UNKNOWN MILEAGE. I WAS TOLD IT HAD NEW HEAD GASKETS AND TIMING BELT, THOUGH I CAN NOT VERIFY. IT RUNS VERY NICE. IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC ENGINE MONITOR THAT READS OUT RPM, TEMP. VOLTAGE, MPG, AND SO ON. IT HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE, NO OIL LEAKS, A VERY CLEAN CONVERSION. I CONSISTENTLY GET 23 - 25 MILES PER GALLON. I LIVE AT HIGH ALTITUDE 6,600', AND SURROUNDED BY HIGH MOUNTAIN ROADS, DOES GREAT. I DO WISH IT HAD A 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I THINK THESE EARLIER VANAGONS HAD LOWER GEAR RATIOS. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, THOUGH I BELIEVE I WOULD REPLACE WHEELS AND TIRES WITH 15" , SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD UPGRADE. THE FUEL TANK HAS A NEW SENDER, AND NEW HOSE KIT. I HAVE AN AUX. BATTERY KIT, BUT NOT INSTALLED.

THE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION. I SEE NO EVIDENCE OF REPAIRED BODY DAMAGE. I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD RECENTLY, NICE AND CLEAR ! UNDERSIDE IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO RUST, THE EXTERIOR BODY HAS SURFACE RUST SCATTERED AROUND THE LOWER PART OF THE BODY, VERY SUPERFICIAL. SMALL DINGS HERE AND THERE, BUT VERY SOLID. ALL DOORS WORK WELL AND ALIGN NICELY. THE TOP CANVAS IS IN OKAY SHAPE, HAS NO TEARS, AND SCREEN AND ZIPPERS ARE IN DECENT SHAPE. IT'S JUST OLD. ALL THE CUSHIONS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, THE BEDS FOLD OUT NICELY AND WORK AS THEY SHOULD. I REPLACED THE FRONT SEATS WITH SEATS FROM A 1990 VANAGON, THEY ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN THE ORIGINAL. THOUGH THEY ARE GREY. I REPLACED THE PROPANE TANK WITH A NEW ONE 3 YEARS AGO, THE STOVE WORKS GREAT. THE SINK AND FAUCET ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, I HAVE A NEW WATER PUMP, BUT HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT. THE REFRIGERATOR WORKS ON AC/DC, BUT THE GAS MODE DOES NOT. THIS VAN DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. IF YOU LIVE IN A HOT PART OF THE COUNTRY, MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU. I REMOVED ALL THE COMPONENTS. WE JUST DO NOT NEED A/C IN THE MOUNTAINS, BESIDES THESE SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE PROBLEMATIC. THE CABINETS ALL ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND WORKING ORDER. INTERIOR TRIM IS AGED, SOME CRACKING AND PEELING OF THE PLASTIC TRIM DUE TO AGE. ALSO INCLUDED IS A NICE VAN COVER FROM GOWESTY, NICE AWNING, AND TENT STRUCTURE ?

FOLD AWAY BIKE RACK IS NOT INCLUDED.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
