Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is pleased to digitally present
for sale, on consignment, this quirky but cool, 1973 Volkswagen
Thing. The Type 181 is known as the Kurierwagen in Germany, a
Trekker in the United Kingdom, the Thing in the United States
(1973-74), the Safari in Mexico and South America, and Pescaccia in
Italy. This 2 wheel drive, 4 door convertible has removable doors,
a folding windshield and drain holes in the floor so you could
spray it out with a hose. Power is provided by a 1600cc flat four
engine, single carburetor with a 4 speed manual transmission. A
roll bar, canvas top, vinyl windows, seat belts and cloth interior
round out the features on this minimalistic Volkswagen, everything
you need and nothing you don't. The white paint is in good shape as
well as the cool plaid interior. Our sales staff is excited to hear
from you and go over the details on how to obtain this Thing for
your collection.
