A Very Special 1974 “Survivor Thing” is being offered

for sale.

This is a original California Car, Purchased in Palm Springs

CA at Desert Volkswagen, August 10th, 1974 and has been

owned by my father since the early 1980’s. Regular

maintenance or repairs have been completed by the likes of

Frank & Kit’s and Blodgett's Bug Barn both located in

San Bernardino, CA. & most recent Competition

Engineering in Phoenix, AZ. The car has never been

re-painted and no major modifications have been done. The

car’s pan was treated with POR-15 in the 80's for

preventative purposes and has still held up.

The car dose not have the original wheels, however the

original spare with the Continental TT-726 is in tack and

looks new. The convertible top frame was purchased from "The

Trim Shop" known today as “Thing Shop” located in

Chandler, AZ back in the early 80’s. The Convertible top

itself my Dad and I bought from a Volkswagen Dealer in Baja

Mexico in the 80’s. The top is an Original German Top that

is very rare. Both the frame and top where covered and

stored in-doors since the 80's. I have recently installed

the top on the car and has always been stored in an enclosed

garage. The hard top is available, but is located in CA.

If you are interested in a non-molested “Survivor” Type

181 “THING” from a family with a passion and long

history of air-cooled Volkswagen’s & Porsche’s

please feel free to contact me via, e-mail, text or call. I

can also send additional pictures upon request. Please

serious inquiries only.

Thank You for viewing my ad.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
