For Sale: 1973 Volkswagen Thing in Decatur, Georgia

Vehicle Description

A fun, strange, tinny, noisy, off road competent, funny car like no other. Original 46hp VW engine. 
4 on the floor manual transmission. 
NO power steering, brakes or cruise control. 
No roll up windows. Each window comes off and has its own storage bag. A previous owner replaced the plexiglass in the side windows with glass. 
the windshield folds forward. The doors come off. The top manually folds down. 
More importantly, you cannot drive it without a smile or giggle inside.  The joy of clutching through 4 speeds reminds one of the fun and skills required of driving older cars. This mood was captured in  a funny YouTube video by Doug De Muro. 
I recently replaced the engine and muffler/exhaust with OEM  spec parts

This car is an attention getter, friend finder, chic or stud magnet,  etc.
