Description
This 1973 Volkswagen Thing was acquired by the seller over a decade ago and reportedly spent a number of years in storage prior to a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. Power comes from a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and the car is finished in orange with a black soft top over black vinyl upholstery. Additional equipment includes a Pioneer CD stereo, a 12-volt electrical system, slatted wood floorboards, and white-painted 15” wheels.
This 1973 Volkswagen Thing was acquired by the seller over a decade ago and reportedly spent a number of years in storage prior to a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. Power comes from a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and the car is finished in orange with a black soft top over black vinyl upholstery. Additional equipment includes a Pioneer CD stereo, a 12-volt electrical system, slatted wood floorboards, and white-painted 15” wheels.
The car was refinished in its current shade of orange following bodywork by European Collision Center of Downey, California. Features include a black soft top, bumper guards, a folding windshield, removable doors, and a hood-mounted rack.
White-painted 15” wheels are mounted with 205/75 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners.
The cabin features seats trimmed in black vinyl with a matching dashboard and carpets protected by slatted wood floorboards. Latch-and-link lap belts are installed for all occupants, and a Pioneer CD stereo is wired to speakers behind the rear seats and in the front kick panels.
A four-spoke steering wheel with an aftermarket lace-up covering frames a 100-mph VDO speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows just over 19k miles.
The air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four features a single carburetor and a 12-volt electrical system and was reportedly rebuilt by the seller. Work performed in preparation for the sale included an oil change and replacement of the valve cover gaskets.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
