This distinctive 1973 Volkswagen Thing is a timeless classic hailing from the heart of Ohio, United States. Manufactured in 1973 with an original mileage of just 57,000 miles, this vehicle boasts an era-defining design characterized by its military-inspired styling, featuring a fold-down windshield and a functional spare tire carrier. Finished in pristine white over white vinyl, it's powered by a robust 1.6-liter flat-four engine paired with a smooth-shifting four-speed manual transaxle. The interior is comfortably outfitted with tan convertible soft top and features like heater for those chilly rides, and foldable rear seats that can accommodate extra cargo when needed. Beyond its aesthetics and mechanics, this Volkswagen Thing stands out for its rarity as the Type 181 model and its rich history since being acquired by the current seller in 2020. Currently, it's available for bidding at $12,500 with no reserve, presenting enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history with immense potential for restoration or enjoyment in its current condition.
