Vehicle Description

The Volkswagen Thing was spawned by a German runabout military
vehicle known as the "Kubelwagen"...Kubel meaning "bucket" and
Wagen meaning "Car". A name, which is quite fitting for the design.
The Thing was only called "The Thing" in North America where it
went on sale in 1973; elsewhere it was known as the Trekker, the
Safari, or simply Type 181. Spartan by design, the Thing became
quite popular in the US market as it appealed especially to the
youth. The thing cost only $3150.00 dollars making it affordable to
the American public. To this day, the quirky Thing is recognizable
and popular among motoring enthusiasts.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this cheeky 1973 Volkswagen
Thing for your consideration. The Thing is finished in a lovely
shade of Avocado Green and is overall in nice shape. The body is
nice and generally clean although there is a bit of surface rust
seen in some seems and in the inner fenders. It has black-painted
bumpers, 14-inch black steel wheels, and a black cloth top along
with side curtains.
This little Thing drives very well and would make the perfect
summer beach vehicle. Cheerful and easy to fix, it's no wonder that
these little Things are so revered! This example comes with lots of
service history and paperwork!
