1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia

Published June 22, 2014 by Nate

As I head up to Sonoma for a weekend of NASCAR, I get to indulge in another incongruous-but-fun journey, loading M5 up with camping gear and parking it next to trucks, campers, and RVs. It even gets a few nods and smiles among this very different type of car enthusiast, but staying in a tent surrounded by generators leaves a little to be desired. This is a long way of saying yet again that I very much want a campervan to increase the efficiency and comfort of my roadtrips. Today we have an earlier but very nice Vanagon, in the exact color as my brother’s non-Westy van. It’s only adventured 84k miles in its 3+ decades and has had some recent maintenance that indicates it could go as many years and a lot more miles. It has a few needs but the cleanliness in undeniable and with no reserve, it could be a good deal relative to most clean Westies.

1985 Volkswagen Beetle “50 Jahre Käfer”

Published June 15, 2014 by Paul

There’s always those cars we wish we would have bought new and then locked away immediately, preserved for a later date for investment purposes or merely to have a new example of a favorite vehicle for use years down the road. If it’s a vintage VW Beetle you crave, few come more out of the wrapper than this 1985 “50 Jahre Käfer” or “50 Years Beetle,” built to celebrate the 50th year of production of the people’s car. This example for sale near Stuttgart, Germany has just over 50 (yes, fifty) miles on the clock and still has the plastic wrappers on the seats. Even a bit of the cosmoline is still apparent underneath. This would certainly be of interest to any Volkswagen dealer seeking to draw in customers to the showroom.

Original Owner 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Published June 1, 2014 by Paul

When my mother went to buy her first car, she had her sights set on a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Ever the practical man, my grandfather told her she shouldn’t be buying something without a backseat. He steered her towards buying a 1972 Super Beetle instead, even if he was a very “buy American” consumer at that point. So a Super Beetle with an Automatic Stick Shift gearbox it was. To this day, every time a Karmann Ghia will pass, my mother always mentions how much she wanted one, but at this point, it’s unrealistic she’ll probably try her hand at ownership. This 1973 Karmann Ghia for sale by The Gallery Brummen in The Netherlands is an amazing survivor with original paint sourced from an owner in Switzerland.

1997 Volkswagen GTI VR6

Published June 1, 2014 by Paul

Volkswagen popularized the concept of the hot hatch in the 1970s with the GTI, but they moved the chains in the 1990s when they shoved the newly introduced VR6 engine under the bonnet of the Mk3 GTI. Mazda got the jump on Volkswagen in the six cylinder hatchback game by a few years with their MX-3, having a 1.8 liter V6 as an option. But the GTI VR6 had much more brawn and that famous, baritone exhaust note. This 1997 GTI VR6 for sale in Oregon is a two owner, unmolested car.
