1974 Volkswagen Thing Type 181 Safari recently restored with lots of new original parts and very low milage (19250 miles or 30800kms) and in perfect mechanical condition, starts right up and drives smoothly. This particular car is mexican and was restored by the president of the Classic Automobile Club Chapter Morelos and that is why the Morelos classic car plates, i traded it to him 4 months ago for a very original 1967 Plymouth Barracuda 318/270hp 4 bbl LA engine and 4 speed partially restored, the owner had it for sale at $10,000 USD and my reserve price is lower. Im selling it because im moving back to the US and need the money to cover for the expenses it involves. The title is the original sheet and all the original documents and history are included as well as a CD with over 200 pictures of the whole restoration process. All the gages and electrical devices are Hella and work flawlessly as well as the close ratio transmission with double CV joint and 1600cc engine, to my knowledge this was the only year with the big 1600cc engine and the short ratio transmission (which is very desirable and fun on an off road/summer time car) combination, brand new off road tires (Tornel is a mexican brand and i believe were the original model as they were sold here), original seat covers, windows, top, etc. As with any car of this vintage there are a few little details (cosmetic) that are hardly visible, easy to repair and do not interfere with the driving experience at all. I just recently took this car to the World Rally Championship that took place in Leon Guanajuato Mexico and it behaved and climbed with no issues at all and better than most modern SUVs, also just last weekend i took a 900km road trip to a surf contest in La Ticla Michoacan and the car didnt have a single issue and every body was in love with it, its a great attention getter and conversational piece. The car has been relisted due to me asking my dad to borrow one of his accounts because mine had an unactivity period of 4 years due to my relocation to Mexico when i lost my job back in the '09 rescession and turns out his account had an 8 year unactivity period which he forgot to tell me, regardless mine and his account have flawless positive feedback. The car is located in Central Mexico and will be delivered in Laredo TX after a $500 Paypal deposit at the place and time of your choice. Also the deposit will be returned in full and the Paypal fees covered by me in case of any misshaps. Any requests or questions feel free to ask through e mail or call 001 52 (443) 281 0037 with Rudy for inmediate answer in english or spanish, thanks. |

VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
Volkswagen sketches Geneva-bound concept
Wed, Feb 25 2015Volkswagen has released a pair of sketches that give us our first official glimpse at the company's new concept car, set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Details are slim – the car doesn't even have a name yet – but we do have some facts about VW's swoopy new showcar. First off, it's a sedan – well, "four-door coupe" – but is said to have a hatchback configuration. Autoblog has also learned that the car will be powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a TSI gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, and uses an all-wheel-drive configuration that's likely similar to that in the recently unveiled Cross Coupe GTE concept. Volkswagen says this showcar uses a new, progressive design language for the brand. And while it sort of looks like a dead ringer for a new CC, we're told this concept is positioned above that model. For now, that's all we know, but we expect a host of other details to be released closer to the car's official debut in Geneva next week. Stay tuned.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3
Fri, Sep 12 2014Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs.

The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling.

Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.
