Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is pleased to present for sale,
on consignment, this quirky but cool, 1973 Volkswagen Thing. The
Type 181 is known as the Kurierwagen in Germany, a Trekker in the
United Kingdom, the Thing in the United States (1973-74), the
Safari in Mexico and South America, and Pescaccia in Italy. This 2
wheel drive, 4 door convertible has removable doors, a folding
windshield and drain holes in the floor so you could spray it out
with a hose. Power is provided by a 1600cc flat four engine, single
carburetor with a 4 speed manual transmission. A roll bar, canvas
top, vinyl windows, seat belts and cloth interior round out the
features on this minimalistic Volkswagen, everything you need and
nothing you don't. The white paint is in good shape as well as the
cool plaid interior. Our sales staff is excited to hear from you
and go over the details on how to obtain this Thing for your
collection.
