1972 Vw The Thing Type 181 on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
VOLKSWAGEN "THE THING" MODEL 181 WAS BUILT IN Germany by VOLKSWAGEN year 1972 This car was used by the German Army as an Ambulance car and therefore used only in Emergency cases. I bought this car from the German Army and shipped it over to the US and started to get new paint, shocks, brakes, tires. It has a convertible soft top, which is new and it has also a roll over bar. In 2010 I put in a heavy duty BOSCH starter ( $ 480.00) In 2013 a brake job for $ 700. was done. Bills are available. It is powered by a 4-cylinder gas engine, with 4-speed manual transmission and on the rear axle it has a retracking device for terrain driving. I used this car only to pull it behind my motor home and while vacationing I used it for fun. The speedometer shows actual mileage 78320 km, approx. 30000 km were used to pull it behind my motor home. The car is in excellent condition and works properly, even the heater. Standard military equipment included a military lighting system, map light, rifle mounts, spade, starting handle, towing hook, straps on the inside rear deck for attaching a shovel, clip and latch for engine hand crank inside engine compartment (engine crank handle) If you are in the market for a unique and hard to find, rust free, extremely reliable vehicle, look no further. This THING starts on command and remains a pleasure to drive/shift on the open road or terrain. It was always garaged. The reason for selling this vehicle is that I am 83 year old and sold my motorhome and I have no use for it anymore. ep by step till finishing the job.See also the link: http://www.dastank.com/VW-181-Military-users I am a private seller and I am not charging sales tax |

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen 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.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
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.
