Vehicle Description
This 1973 Volkswagen Type 181 "Thing" is a head-turning blend of
quirky charm, rugged functionality, and unmistakable vintage style.
Originally developed for military use, the VW Thing found civilian
popularity for its fun, go-anywhere attitude-and this example
delivers all the personality that made it a legend.
Finished in vibrant Yellow with vintage-inspired graphics, this '73
Thing sports an unmistakable profile that stands out wherever it
goes. Under the rear deck, a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder, 8-valve boxer
engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission provides a
classic, air-cooled driving experience.
The interior features black vinyl bucket seats up front, a
fold-down windshield, front and rear seat belts, and period-correct
VDO gauges. Chrome baby moon hubcaps add retro flair to the simple
steel wheels, while the odometer shows just 38,985 miles.
Whether you're headed to the beach, cruising through town, or
making a statement at a car show, this 1973 Volkswagen Thing is a
rare and unforgettable ride. With its utilitarian design,
convertible top, and open-air fun, there's nothing else like it on
the road.
