1974 Volkswagen Thing Very Original Condition No Repaint, Nr on 2040-cars
Mahwah, New Jersey, United States
1974 Volkswagen Thing. This car is in extremely original condition. Paint is original (bumpers were refinished many years ago). There are many blemishes and dings in the body but no rust to speak of. Please examine the pictures. I have tried to give as much detail as possible. Very small hole, near drain hole under battery, see pictures. I've had the car for 10 years and when I got it I painted underneath of the floorpan with Por 15 to preserve it since it was in such good original condition, which is very rare in the northeast. The top is good and so are all the side curtains. The seat were recovered before I got it. The exterior has dealer installed hightlight stripes which were an option. Also has a factory roll bar. The tires are almost new. In runs good and the brakes were gone over not too long ago. It would be very hard to find another Thing in this original condition, especially in the northeast. Any questions please contact me for more info or pictures. Better yet call me at 201 327 7621 to make an appointment to examine and test drive. Car is located in northern New Jersey. I can deliver the car in a radius of 300 miles @ $2.00 a mile plus tolls. Also I can store the car up to 30 days, provided it's paid for. Better yet come and drive it home. Car is sold as is, where is. All payments must be completed before the car is released. |

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
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.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
