For the lucky buyer is a beautiful example of a classic VW. Originally an Arizona car. No rust!!! Floorpans are solid, body is straight. Ok, for the good, New mirrors, antenna, sunvisors, headliner carpet, front door panels, windshield seal and rear 1/4 window seals. Existing good stuff, tires and brakes are good, paint is 14 yrs old and still looks fantastic! Bumpers are good. Wheelwells are good. Runs good, shifts well. This was originally a fuel injected engine, as most of you may know, replacement parts for fuel injection of this age is hard to come by and pricey. You are in luck, my friend! This car has a single, easy to adjust, Weber carburetor. Gives it a little more horsepower and cheap to fix! (Weber rebuild kit is about $20-30) Now the not-so-good, No radio, add your sound sytem, hard part of running the antenna wire is done. No heat, The notorious heater boxes on the engines exhaust rusted through and was replaced with plain pipes.(You weren't really going to drive this in the winter anyway, were you?) I use a small ceramic 12v heater in my other squareback just to take out the chill on cool cruise nights. Very small bubbling under the paint on the right front fender between the door and fuel door opening, about 1 1/2 inch in size. I also have a small jar of the paint used with the mix formula on it. I wish I could keep this one for my daughter, but bills gotta come first. Check out samba.com, This is the nicest squareback for the price that hasn't been restored. Thank you.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
