1973 Volkswagen Thing Type 181 Hard Top

1973 Volkswagen Thing

I am selling my 1973 VW Thing. It was originally purchased new at Don Corlett Motors in Louisville Kentucky, and I have the original owners manual with the dealer sleeve to go with it. The odometer shows 81,000 miles, and I was told original, however it shows exempt on the title now. The title is clean, the car is licensed, insured, and it runs, drives and stops, but does none of those extremely well. The wipers and lights work, turn signals and the original B4N gas heater under the hood do not, but it is there to tinker with. I have the original oil bath air filter, missing carb to cleaner hose, which is why its not installed. Included is a rare factory VW hard top, but will need new side curtains (I have the frames) Does have a few rust spots, but Things are known to rust terribly, and this is an extremely solid car compared to most. Very honest condition, not shiny paint over problems. It was painted tan at some point, and I was in the process of removing it to get back to what's left of the factory yellow. I just don't have the time to finish it or give it the love it needs. I have installed an EMPI factory exit exhaust, powder coated the factory 14" wheels white, and installed new tires. Any questions or picture requests please feel free to ask. This is a NO RESERVE auction. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipment.
