Vehicle Description
Picture this: a bright yellow 1973 Volkswagen Thing, ready to whisk
you back to an era of bell-bottoms and peace signs. A paint job
that is not just yellow; it's sunshine yellow, bright enough to
make daisies jealous. The top and a rear plastic window is in great
shape, with just a bit of character. With its convertible top and
four doors, it's like a beach buggy and a jeep had a love child
that was all about good vibes and open roads.
Inside, and you'll find an interior that's as fresh as a daisy.
Black cloth seats that feel like they've just been plucked from a
70s catalog - perfect for those sunny days in shorts. The custom
steering wheel adds a touch of personal flair, and the updated
stereo is ready to blast your favorite tunes from AM/FM/XM to CD,
with VDO aux readouts neatly added to the dash, keeping you
well-informed and in control.
Under the hood of this 1973 Volkswagen Thing lies the 1600 CC
engine with a dual carb setup, nestled alongside a 4-speed manual
transmission. The front end feels tight and responsive, with a
gearbox that's as smooth as a lava lamp, making every journey a
joyous throwback experience. Adding to its charm is a unique gas
heater in the trunk, a nod to the meticulous restoration efforts by
a true VW enthusiast. Remember, the Volkswagen Type 181, known as
'The Thing,' is more than a car; it's a legend, with its brief
two-year stint in the USA adding to its mystique.
