GORGEOUS COMPLETE RESTORATION, BEACH READY....

Early In Its Inception, The Thing Was Developed As A German Military Vehicle Known As A Kübelwagen.

VW's Convertible 'Breadbox' Was Called The Thing Only In North America, Where It Went On Sale In 1973. It Was Known Elsewhere As The Trekker, The Safari Or Simply The Type 181. The Thing Was Built On The Same Chassis As The Pre-1968 Microbus And Was Propelled By VW's Air-Cooled, 46-hp, 1600-cc Flat Four. A Four-Speed Manual Was The Only Transmission. Acceleration - Well, It Wasn't Exactly A Speed Demon - Was Zero To 60 mph Which Took More Than 23 Seconds!

The Windshield Folded And The Detachable Doors Were Swappable Front To Rear.
Heat? Well, That Was Provided By An Optional Gasoline-Fueled Heater Hooked Directly To The Fuel Tank.

Interior Was Very Simple. The Only Instrumentation Was A Speedometer That Housed A Fuel Gauge On Its Dial, And The Glove Compartment Was An Open Area In The Dash.

New here for 1973, the Thing was pitched at the same market as the Jeep CJ and Toyota Land Cruiser. It came in three scratch-resistant semi-gloss finish colors: Sunshine Yellow, Pumpkin Orange, and the Blizzard White of our 1973 feature car. Interior heat was provided by an Eberspächer gas-fired heater, mounted under the front hood, which worked independently of the engine. The cost was $2,750, not cheap when a basic 1973 Sedan cost $2,299 and a Karmann Ghia convertible cost $3,450. Owners could personalize their Things with options like a "Baja look" stripe kit, a surrey top, a roll cage and interior dress-ups including a shift console and leather- or wood-rim steering wheel.

This Car Was Nicely Restored And Ready To Cruise To Your Lake House Or Just To Get Ice Cream On A Warm Summers Day!
