1973 Thing Runs Great Rebuilt Engine Brakes Type 181 Convertible FUN IN THE SUN

Description for Volkswagen Thing 1973

I have owned my type 181 Thing since 2012. I bought it for $5500. It needed the engine rebuilt and the brakes redone. I had my old timer mechanic do that work--he had rebuilt 3 of my engines beforehand. He was a great mechanic, but passed away in 2017. Anyway, car has needed a starter last summer--replaced it with a lifetime warranty unit at napa. I have had the oil and tune up parts replaced and had valves adjusted yearly. That is all the car has needed while owning it. It is a reliable, fun car that turns heads and it fun in the sun! Still have it's gas heater, that I have never used. I never even tried to reset the fuse. clear title in my name. please, if bidding, please make sure you want the car and are willing to pay promptly.

About Seller: I have been on ebay since 1999. I have sold to a lot of happy customers, mostly car parts and collectible stuff. I have owned aircooled vw's since 1997. I write for the vintage vw club magazine every month and own a large collection of vw's. This is my only running and driving VW thing and I am thinning the herd to put money toward another Porsche (I am porsche club member, too). ps comes with four hubcaps.
