This 1974 Volkswagen Thing is a true icon of open-air driving,
finished in a bold red exterior that perfectly complements its fun,
no-nonsense personality. With its unmistakable boxy styling,
removable doors, and utilitarian roots, the Thing delivers a
driving experience that's as unique today as it was when it first
hit the road. Whether you're cruising beachside or heading to a
local cars & coffee, this is the kind of vehicle that draws
attention everywhere it goes.
Inside, the cabin features a vibrant orange interior paired with
durable black vinyl seats, staying true to the Thing's rugged yet
playful character. Everything is simple, functional, and easy to
enjoy-just the way Volkswagen intended. Power comes from a reliable
1.6L flat-four engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission,
offering a classic, analog driving feel that's becoming harder to
find.
This example has been under long-term ownership since 1997, showing
pride of care and consistency over nearly three decades. As a
two-owner vehicle, it carries a level of history and stewardship
that's increasingly rare in classic Volkswagens. The convertible
top has been replaced, and the plastic windows are new, making it
ready to be enjoyed in a variety of conditions.
If you're looking for something different-something that blends
vintage charm, simplicity, and pure fun-this Volkswagen Thing
checks all the boxes.
Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing,
