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!!!

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
