1973 Volkswagen Thing Convertable

1973 Volkswagen Thing Description

California VW Thing!All original, previous owner had won multiple awards in the preservation VW classes and we found one plaque in the trunk!This car is an absolute treasure for the Volkswagen Thing enthusiasts, would make a great restoration candidate or just drive it as is and enjoy the beauty and fun, put the top down, take the doors off, fold the front windshield down and feel the wind in your face!This Thing runs and drives great, new brake lines and brake cylinders have been installed, the CV's have been serviced and the boots were just replaced, all fluids have been changed and the valves and timing have been adjusted to spec.The tires seem to have sufficient tread.The paint has dulled out over time, we buffed the hood out only to show how easily it comes back to life. With a little elbow grease this Thing should shine up nicely.The top has a few small tears and there are a few dings here and there.
Rust issues have been previously repaired on the pan.Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to view the car before you bid.If you would like to see specific photos of the car send a message and I will respond promptly.This is an auction with a low reserve and I will not accept offers to buy it now.Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer though I can be there and help your shipper with loading.This car comes with a clean California title in my name with current registration.Being a 1973 vehicle, in California this car is exempt from smog certifications.If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me.$500 Paypal deposit due at auction end.Bidders with under 5 positive history need to contact me first before bidding.Good luck and happy bidding!
