Here is your opportunity to own quite possibly the cleanest, over the top, off the hook, frame off and ground up restoration VW Thing. The title is salvage.It is salvage as theft recovery. The restoration began with absolute no body, seats, roll bar or wheels on frame.(hence the salvage title) Then the build began!! And it began with all new parts. It ended with all new parts. It needs nothing. Look at my feedback. Read my feedback. This is my most cherished non blood family member in my life. Our relocation to Oceanside California with no in door protection forces sale. This VW Thing is as close to a 10 on a scale of 1-10 as it gets. The public will let you know that. So be prepared for attention. Never off road. Garaged every night of it's new life. Babied and loved. Best of everything. Work done by professionals: Legendary VW and Porsche builder, race car driver and great human being Lloyd Mosher. All fabrication such as roll cage, brush guards, suspension, lift done by equally equally professional and great human being Scott Monks of Monks Racing.

Body off painted Viper red. Every single piece isolated. Gorgeous and stunning. All new rubber and trim along with all brand new stainless nuts and bolts. Every one of them.

1914cc motor with mild cam. Rebuilt stock transmission with of course new clutch. Approximately 5000 street driven miles only.

Dual (newest version) 40 Empi carbs.

Everything else new as well.:Electric fuel pump, oil sump, ceramic coated exhaust, you name it: It's been replaced new with build.

Suspsension is Fox shocks all way around with 2.0 reservoirs. Limit straps. Rear has been notched one click. Has 3" Up Your Bug body lift. New CV joints, boots, etc. Front beam cut and turned with new leafs installed..Disc front brakes.

Centerlines with 90% tread BFG's. Matching spare.

This car has nothing but the best. Look at pictures closely. Look at all the detail. The extra's are endless. Alpine stereo with Ipod/disc, equalizer, etc. Locking glove box. Tach, oil pressure, electric fuel shut off /club lock/locking steering (not going to get stolen a second time)

The top rack is custom fabricated and fitted as well and is removable.

This vehicle has been driven 99% of the time around town with doors off, windshield down and wind in your face. But with doors, window rock guards, it has numerous personalities. If you desire a soft top. Have at it and pick one up for a few hundred bucks. But doubt you will use it after driving this little gem without it. Car runs and drives perfect. Needs nothing. No, zero, nada, spot of rust. Simply over 20K invested. And that is without the labor. Bid with confidence. You may be the proud new owner of the nicest looking and most dependable VW Thing in existence. Serious only please. You want to ship? Have at it. But this baby loves to drive. And there is still the chance we may park her one block from the ocean. Even if rust is a potential element. This VW is simply off the hook. Simply just too much to list. Show it. Drive it. Love it.

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs

Thu, Jun 3 2021

We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons:Â Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore Â— Â“The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain Â— like Toyota Â— do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis:Â 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy Â 2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs

Sat, 01 Mar 2014

Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore

Thu, Jan 11 2024

The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery.Â A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.
