Wow, you will love this THING!
Up for sale is a very cool 1973 VW THING. It's a rare THING indeed,
a four door convertible! You don't see THINGS like that every day.
The Germans designed this THING back in World War Two for general
purpose transportation of military personnel along the same lines
as the original Army Jeep.
The THING about THINGS is they are so ugly they are cute, sort
of.
Another THING about it is that it is a blast to drive. This THING
has a souped up motor and an exhaust system that makes this wild
THING sound really fast. And this THING has been thoroughly sorted
mechanically with new brakes, bushings and a tune-up. The oversized
EMPI alloy wheels and all terrain tires give this THING an
aggressive stance and another THING, the rear mounted engine gives
this THING excellent off road traction, if that's your THING.
This THING shifts nicely through all four gears and doesn't pop out
of reverse like so many of these THINGS. With the built up motor
this THING cruises at 70 without straining and with the fresh
suspension parts and a rebuilt steering box the THING tracks
straight and handles true, some THING you might not expect of a
THING.
What has not been restored is this THING'S body, the paint is still
shiny on the THING but it has its shares of dings and scratches.
The good THING is there isn't much rust on it and that makes this
THING a better THING than any THING that is all rusted. One THING
that makes this THING rare is it has a fiberglass hardtop. I put a
fresh paint job on the top and removed the windows to give it that
open air effect. The windows can be added and the rubber seals to
put them back on the THING are included. The top is light weight
and can be lifted off easily. This THING also has a roll bar that
provides the occupants of the THING a safer ride than a THING
without one. The interior on the THING is in great shape and all
the gauges and lights work as they should on the THING.
This THING does not have a folding soft top. The THING does come
with its original side curtain windows but they will need to be
restored before you put them on this THING because the THING is, is
that the once clear plastic windows are now as far from clear as
the THINGS can get. The THING to consider about the top and windows
is that I have owned four of these THINGS and have never driven one
yet in the rain on purpose. The darn THING is a four door
convertible for Pete's sake (who is Pete?); wind in the hair, sun
in your face, everyone waving and giving thumbs up to you in your
THING. The open air hardtop does the same THING except for the sun
in your face part.
If you don't like attention then don't even THING about buying this
THING
So finally, here is the THING; I have had my fun in the THING and
am ready for the next guy or gal to experience what this THING is
all about. Another THING, these THINGS are becoming very desirable
to stuck up snobby collectors who are willing to pay a lot of dough
for these silly THINGS. So, if you buy the THING, it's like an
investment. You can probably read about that in the book "THING and
Grow Rich".
This THING is located in Rockwall,Texas and is offered as is where
is. If the ad is up this THING is for sale. Please no low ball
offers or scammers because I really don't like those THINGS. Call,
text or reply if you want to talk about this THING.
