Here is your opportunity to own quite possibly the cleanest, over the top, off the hook, frame off and ground up restoration VW Thing. The title is salvage.It is salvage as theft recovery. The restoration began with absolute no body, seats, roll bar or wheels on frame.(hence the salvage title) Then the build began!! And it began with all new parts. It ended with all new parts. It needs nothing. Look at my feedback. Read my feedback. This is my most cherished non blood family member in my life. Our relocation to Oceanside California with no in door protection forces sale. This VW Thing is as close to a 10 on a scale of 1-10 as it gets. The public will let you know that. So be prepared for attention. Never off road. Garaged every night of it's new life. Babied and loved. Best of everything. Work done by professionals: Legendary VW and Porsche builder, race car driver and great human being Lloyd Mosher. All fabrication such as roll cage, brush guards, suspension, lift done by equally equally professional and great human being Scott Monks of Monks Racing.
Body off painted Viper red. Every single piece isolated. Gorgeous and stunning. All new rubber and trim along with all brand new stainless nuts and bolts. Every one of them. 1914cc motor with mild cam. Rebuilt stock transmission with of course new clutch. Approximately 5000 street driven miles only. Dual (newest version) 40 Empi carbs. Everything else new as well.:Electric fuel pump, oil sump, ceramic coated exhaust, you name it: It's been replaced new with build. Suspsension is Fox shocks all way around with 2.0 reservoirs. Limit straps. Rear has been notched one click. Has 3" Up Your Bug body lift. New CV joints, boots, etc. Front beam cut and turned with new leafs installed..Disc front brakes. Centerlines with 90% tread BFG's. Matching spare. This car has nothing but the best. Look at pictures closely. Look at all the detail. The extra's are endless. Alpine stereo with Ipod/disc, equalizer, etc. Locking glove box. Tach, oil pressure, electric fuel shut off /club lock/locking steering (not going to get stolen a second time) The top rack is custom fabricated and fitted as well and is removable. This vehicle has been driven 99% of the time around town with doors off, windshield down and wind in your face. But with doors, window rock guards, it has numerous personalities. If you desire a soft top. Have at it and pick one up for a few hundred bucks. But doubt you will use it after driving this little gem without it. Car runs and drives perfect. Needs nothing. No, zero, nada, spot of rust. Simply over 20K invested. And that is without the labor. Bid with confidence. You may be the proud new owner of the nicest looking and most dependable VW Thing in existence. Serious only please. You want to ship? Have at it. But this baby loves to drive. And there is still the chance we may park her one block from the ocean. Even if rust is a potential element. This VW is simply off the hook. Simply just too much to list. Show it. Drive it. Love it. |

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network
Tue, Jul 6 2021Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. “It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement. "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.
