There are Bilstein shocks in front and rear. Has been garage kept. Little things it could use are hood seal, trunk seal, small items like that. We bought it to tow behind the motorhome and we just do not use it any more. Please email questions. Car can be inspected. Email me to make arrangements. Located in Yorba Linda, California. Check my feedback for honesty and integrity. If you see anything different on this vehicle, please feel free to let me know since I am not a VW Thing expert. Check out the video.

I have a very nice 1973 VW Thing. I did a body off restoration a couple of years ago and have lots of pictures of the work done. Haven't driven it much since. New dark metallic green paint throughout in excellent condition. Freshly built 2180cc engine that's very strong. Has low ratio gears in the trans-axle, geared ideally for off road use. Centerline wheels, rollbar, new canvas top, new soft windows, new windshield, new rubber everywhere. Original gas heater that works. Cloth seats. Floor pan is painted with bed liner material. Runs and drives great. Probably one of the nicest Thing's out there. 47,400 miles. Solid, original California car that's completely rust free and very straight. Just had an $ 800 full service at Car Craft in Riverside (10/11/2015), new flywheel seal, oil change, filters, they rebuilt both carbs, adjusted throttle linkages, new air filters and fixed some minor oil leaks. Comes with a quality custom fit car cover. Clean title in hand. Car is located in Perris, CA. Available most times to show it and will assist with shipping but shipping is at buyers expense. Get's attention everywhere I go. Currently has "lifetime" Oregon registration. Smog exempt in most states due to it's age. If you have any questions call me, Scot 626-688-0096

1974 Volkswagen Thing British Sports Cars 640 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 805-544-2277 1974 Volkswagen Thing MILEAGE: 0 ENGINE: 4 CYL TRANSMISSION: Manual EXTERIOR COLOR: Yellow INTERIOR COLOR: Black DRIVE: RWD VIN: 1842403312 Description: You're looking at a 1974 Volkswagen Thing that's been fully restored and is in fantastic condition. It's been fully stripped and painted inside and out, and it's a high-quality paint job. The body is very solid, showing no signs of any major accident damage or rust. We've photographed the underside of the car to show how solid it is. This Thing runs and drives very well and is an absolute blast to drive. It comes with a new convertible top as well as new side curtains. The upholstery is also all new and in fantastic condition. The car was recently gone over by our sister shop, and all needed repairs were made at a cost of nearly $3,000. These cars are a ton of fun and a lot of car for the money. This is a really nice Thing, which it pretty rare these days. It's all ready to go and be enjoyed. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have.
