WHAT THE HELL IS A MUNGA?
The predecessor to AUDI, he DKW Auto Union produced a number of Jeeps for the German Army in the 1950's. The name MUNGA comes from the German phrase "Mehrzweck UNiversal Gelandewagen mit Allradantrieb" which in English means "multi-purpose universal cross-country car with all-wheel drive."
Production began in 1956 and ended in 1958 and was used by the German Border Police Bundesgrenzschutz(BGS, ederal Border Protection] and Westen Allied countries including the Dutch. The MUNGA was also built in Sao Paulo, razil where it was called DKW Candango where production ended in 1963. This particular version of MUNGA is a hybrid...with the body undergoing a custom conversion onto a VW chassis and thus is powered by a VW 4 cylinder engine. It is titled as a 1968 VW with the model being a MUNGA. It is now a rear wheel drive vehicle. The engine has been completely rebuilt with less than 50 miles on it, nd it runs great....not your father's kind of Jeep!! Note...if you love to go to car shows...this vehicle is usually the most unusual in the show.....and if you like parades.....the MUNGA is always a crowd favorite!
