1973 Volkswagen Thing Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

1973 Volkswagen THING type 181 red with new black top and grey interior. This THING runs and drives perfectly and always starts right up and is ready to take you wherever you want to go. You can drive this car anywhere with confidence. My wife and I bought this this THING from a Texas collector a couple years ago and had the car shipped to us. The collector had done a complete rebuild on the motor a few years ago and 5000 miles ago and he drove and enjoyed the vehicle and at that time the odometer was reset back to zero so the car shows to have a little over 5000 miles on the car. The vehicle has no rust and does not appear to have ever been wrecked or in an accident. Approximately 1 year ago we had a VW THING expert mechanic go thru all of the mechanics of the car and spent $2502.00 on having anything that needed replaced or that was worn replaced of which we have the receipts for showing everything that was completed. We had a new clutch installed, wheel bearings repacked, some seals and hoses replaced and all fluids changed to make the car in great mechanical condition. Shortly there after we purchased a new black soft top for the car which cost $1375.00. We have the side windows for all 4 doors but those are not new. We also installed a new stereo and speakers in the car with an MP3 player hook up. The tires are in great shape. The car has an older paint job but still looks great but does have a few chips and scratches. This car is in great shape and the engine compartment and trunk are very clean. The THING draws a lot of attention everywhere it goes. This car is a great driver that you can enjoy and get a lot of looks while driving it. Title is clear and in hand. For any questions please feel free to contact Michael at 317-710-2897. Vehicle is located in Indianapolis, IN and I will help to assist if shipping is necessary. Happy bidding and this THING is looking for a great new home!!!

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
