1975 Volkswagen Type 181

The vehicle is a distinctive 1975 Volkswagen Type 181, colloquially known as the "Thing" due to its rugged and utilitarian design. Manufactured in Germany during the country's economic boom era of the 1970s, this model, recently imported from Mexico by its current American owner residing in Livonia, Michigan (postal code: 48154), showcases its unique charm with a vibrant blue exterior complementing the black vinyl upholstery. Despite being a convertible, it comes equipped with a practical black hardtop for all-weather use and features fold-down side curtains to keep passengers comfortable during open-top drives. Powered by a dependable 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four engine mated to a four-speed manual transaxle, this vintage Volkswagen sits poised on rugged 15-inch steel wheels, making it ready for any off-road adventures or casual cruising along Michigan's scenic roads.
