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.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

VW LogBox and Race App performance data logger for R models [w/video]

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Now that it's got a 300-horsepower Golf R to brag about, Volkswagen wants you to be able to brag about it accurately with the LogBox and Race App performance data logging combo. Plug the LogBox into your VW's OBD II port and it sends data over BlueTooth to the Race App, measuring variables like acceleration, distance, G-force and engine performance. If you're on a circuit, it uses Google Maps to make a map of the track, and you can record live video in-app to match with the data. Volkswagen says the LogBox will be available for R models and "a range of further Volkswagen cars," so you'll want to hit up your dealer with questions before ordering. It's available from the VW accessories store for 299 euros ($365 US), but right now the free app is only available in German, in the German-language iTunes and Google Play store. We imagine that will be corrected shortly; in the meantime, the video can show you how it works.
