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!!!

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
