V8-Powered 1974 Volkswagen Thing

This 1974 Volkswagen Thing from Santa Monica, California, is not your average vintage convertible. Originally designed with a traditional air-cooled flat-four engine, this distinctive vehicle was transformed by its previous owner. It now boasts a powerful V8 engine sourced from a Volkswagen Bus, paired with a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle. The extensive service history totals over $40k between 2019 and 2022, further enhancing its reliability. Other notable updates include an overhaul of the suspension for improved handling. This modified Thing is currently up for grabs on Bring a Trailer, where you can explore more details about this unique, head-turning classic from the '70s.
