1973 Volkswagen Thing

1973 Volkswagen Thing â?" White with Black Top, Removable Doors, Fold-Down Windshield Why This Car Is Special The 1973 Volkswagen Thing is one of the more honest vehicles ever sold to the American public. It does not pretend to be anything other than what it is: a simple, open-air, go-anywhere machine with military roots and absolutely zero pretense. VW sold the Type 181 â?" that is its official designation â?" in the United States for just three model years, from 1973 through 1975, and the car developed a devoted following almost immediately. This particular 1973 Volkswagen Thing presents in white with a black convertible top, black vinyl interior, and whitewall tires on steel wheels with hubcaps. It is a correct, characterful example of a vehicle that is genuinely scarce and getting harder to find in solid condition.
