1974 Volkswagen Thing Additional Info:
This Thing is mechanically new. All the drivetrain and suspension are new. Has Original VW hardtop, Glass Curtains from the Thing shop, sports original vinyl seat covers in the front and rear seat tops. It drives freeway speeds with ease and is a blast to drive. Everything works, I wouldn’t hesitate to take it on a long road trip.
