Vehicle Description

This 1974 Volkswagen Thing Acapulco Edition has 82,300 original miles (the title reads mileage exempt). It was completely restored in 2010 and driven 1,500 miles since its completion. It retains its original rust-free floor pans, which were painted inside and out, and its original front beam. The Thing is equipped with new front and rear drum brakes and master cylinder, new German ball joints, tie rods and steering dampener, and new rear CV axles and bearings. The original engine was rebuilt in 2013 and is the correct stock 1600cc dual-port, equipped with new cylinders and pistons, new VW of Mexico heads, 1973 VW Thing fan shroud, new alternator upgrade, new fuel pump, new electronic ignition and coil upgrade and new sport dual exhaust. The exterior and interior were completely stripped and painted the original Acapulco Edition base color, Blizzard White, with a new Thing Shop black vinyl top and frame. The exterior features new door hood and engine lid rubber, restored stock bumpers with brush bar and Hella fog lights, restored original running boards, and stock Thing 14" steel rims powder-coated in their original silver with large logo chrome hubcaps. The interior features new original-style black vinyl upholstering in both the front and back, new windshield glass and rubber, and four original side curtain door windows. Additional accessories include optional glove box door and radio panel, AM/FM/CD/USB radio, four speakers, dual-mount antenna, Lecarra sport black-leather-wrapped steering wheel, Empi 4-speed shifter, duck boards, bamboo storage tray and a battery cut-off switch. This VW Thing runs and drives well.
