Did VW ever pilot the Thing in '59?

Looks like a kit to me. VW would never make anything that ugly!

It looks a lot like an Empi Sportster to me:

Huh, well thank you for the quick replies. I'd never heard of such a thing (no pun intended).

I'm not sure what's going on with this sale.
Last night the bidding ended on eBay for this at 18:06:45 PDT
There was no reserve set and there is a listed winning bid of $2,950.00 by johnbilly77

The last night at 11:28 pm here in Classifieds, http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=491489
it shows up in an ad for $5000b/o

Any one a have a clue about what's going on here?
How do you resell something that has already been sold elsewhere?
