1973 Volkswagen Thing

1973 Volkswagen Thing, a four door convertible! Another THING about it\'s a blast to drive. Has a souped up motor and an exhaust system that makes it sound really fast. And has been thoroughly sorted mechanically with new brakes, bushings and a tune-up. The oversized EMPI alloy wheels and all terrain tires give this an aggressive stance, the rear mounted engine gives this excellent off road traction, if that\'s your THING. Shifts nicely through all four gears and doesn\'t pop out of reverse like so many of these THINGS. With the built up motor cruises at 70 without straining and with the fresh suspension parts and a rebuilt steering box. Tracks straight and handles true, some THING you might not expect. What has not been restored is this THING\'S body, the paint is is still shiny but it has its shares of dings and scratches. But there isn\'t much rust on it. One THING that makes this rare is it has a fiberglass hardtop. I put a fresh paint job on it and removed the windows to give it that open air effect. The windows can be added and the rubber seals are included. The top is light weight and can be lifted off easily. Also has a roll bar that provides the occupants a safer ride. The interior is in great shape and all the gauges and lights work as they should. Does not have a folding soft top. Come with its original side curtain windows but they will need to be restored before you put them on. The clear plastic windows far from clear. Have never driven one yet in the rain on purpose. The darn THING is a four door convertible for Pete\'s sake (who is Pete?); wind in the hair, sun in your face, everyone waving and giving thumbs up to you in your THING. If you don\'t like attention then don\'t even think about it. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or CallTrim: ConvertibleDoors: 4
