V8-Powered 1974 Volkswagen Thing

The prominent feature of this vehicle is its unique identity as a 1974 Volkswagen Thing, powered by a robust V8 engine, which stands out in a field dominated by smaller, more conventional engines. This classic German convertible sports a distinctive design characteristic - its removable top and doors, making it versatile for various weather conditions and terrains, a testament to its utilitarian origins. Originally manufactured in 1974, this Thing benefits from extensive restoration work, totaling over $40k between 2019 and 2022, including a rebuild of the transaxle, suspension overhaul, Edelbrock intake installation, and other mechanical upgrades that ensure it maintains its vintage charm while performing like a modern classic. Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this classic ride awaits its next adventure on the sun-kissed streets and scenic roads of the Golden State.
