The VW Thing, also known as the Type 181 is a unique and iconic
vehicle produced from 1968 through 1983 but civilian sales for the
US ended after 1975 due to stricter safety regulations, its known
for its rugged design, open-top configuration, and ability to be
converted to various configurations like a dune buggy or camper.
This particular unit is what we like to call "driver quality" and
has been used a Northern Michigan cottage car for runs to the
grocery store or to go get ice cream. What you see is kind of what
you get here. This "Thing" starts, runs, stops, shifts and goes
down the road. There are no power windows, locks, navigation,
heated seats etc... in other words, not much to go wrong. We
welcome and questions or third party inspections. The top and side
curtains come with the car, however you can see that the top is in
need of some repair. The seats are torn and the floors have been
patched in places. If you are looking for a no-hassle vehicle to
have fun in, then you might want to take a look.
