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!!!

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
