Vehicle Description
1973 Volkswagen Thing has been offered for sale. I've owned and
driven these unique cars for over 30 years! This 1973 THING is a
really high quality example. Rust Free in and out, top to bottom,
with 4 original steel fenders, perfect floors, rockers, jack points
and body. I don't think anyone thought these fun 4 door
convertibles, with off road capability, would survive 38 years with
more followers and fans than ever! Volkswagen Thing enthusiasts,
clubs, rallies, meets, are growing worldwide! Parts and accessories
are easily available, and reasonable too. These VW THINGS are
eligible for low cost collector insurance as well. The interest in
VW THINGS continues to grow. Prices are growing steadily, as more
people want to own one...Take a good look at this very nice, honest
survivor I'm se This 1973 THING makes a great appearance in Bright
Red inside and out, complimented with white wall tires and (look
great, little wear, not new) white interior, with white accent
stripes on the hood and sides. 4 perfect chrome VW hub caps on
excellent correct red wheels. It was freshened up about 4 years ago
and retains its beautiful appearance and handling qualities. It was
properly taken apart including the windshield glass, with all new
rubber seals and fender welting. New white upholstery and white sun
visors were installed at that time, including a black top which is
in great condition. A Thing Shop glove box door was installed and
an am/fm radio and speakers added. A red and black (THING SHOP)
carpet set compliments the floors and glove compartment. An
excellent red repaint that looks almost new today was done at that
time, which included removing all 4 fenders, windshield, frame,
hood,, trunk, and all 4 wheels. The entire interior including dash
were beautifully refinished. The interior floors were painted
black, as were the floor bottoms and entire undercarriage. Up front
are 2 new Hella Fog Lights and a handsome new steel push bar.
Always garaged, adult driven.
