1974 Volkswagon Thing
Type 181
I originally bought this car in 1984. Used it on the weekends, evenings and even used it in a parade once.
It's always been stored inside. Very fun car to drive. I've always had Volkswagons and this was definatly the most fun to drive.
There arent a lot of these left so they really turn heads. They were only sold in the U.S. in 1973 and 74.
It has some rust, floor boards are rusted in the usual places as you can see in the picks. I removed
a home made front bumper that the previous owner had installed and bought an original VW
front bumper. As you can see in the picks it's not installed yet but it will go with the car.
The top is in decent shape, I replaced it 10 years ago or so and had the seats recovered. I have all of the
original windows and frames, the plastic has yellowed but the frames and material that holds the plastic are in great shape.
Doors are in great shape and all work well. It's not a car that I drive often but it always starts right up. Fresh gas and a battery,
she's never let me down. The tires don't hold air longer than a week or so and are crocking do to drying out. They're
probably 15 years old so if it's going to be a daily driver you will need new tires.
This is a no-reserve auction so someone will get a great deal. Feel free to call or email with any questions.
Bob @ 386-804-9919 or bobsoldit@yahoo.com . $500 deposit due at end of auction via PayPal and

A few people have expressed an interest locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Odometer reads 46k,
I don't know if that's original or not. Good luck and Happy Bidding.

Final Volkswagen Eos to leave the plant in May
Tue, Feb 24 2015Volkswagen has made no secret of its plans to wind down production of the Eos hardtop convertible, and the automaker has already celebrated the model's retirement in the US with the Final Edition (pictured above). However, the company now has an actual time for that end to come. The final Eos rolls off the line from the VW factory in Portugal in May, according to Germany's Automobilwoche, and European customers have until March 27 to get any final orders in. The company has no plans to offer a successor, it previously indicated. After about nine years of production and some 230,000 made, the Eos proved to be a success, at least in its home market of Germany. A VW spokesperson told Automobilwoche it was the country's bestselling hardtop convertible at one point, but customer preferences have changed toward preferring soft-top models. That switch spelled doom for the Eos. Drivers who want some wind in their hair still have some choices in the VW lineup. The Beetle Convertible remains on sale in the US, and Europeans also get the droptop Golf.

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.
2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
