Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer this “Sweet” 1974 Volkswagen Thing. The VW Thing, also called the VW type 181, was imported to the US for 2 years between (1973 and 1974) and is arguably the most unique and versatile car ever made by VW. The car can be readily configured by the user to be with or without windows, doors, windshield, and top. The engine is 4-cylinder, 1600 CC, air-cooled, and is in the rear. This vehicle is a ground-up, disassemble-reassemble restoration. There is no rust, particularly of the floor pans and other places where VW start to degrade. The undercarriage has been treated with a weather protective rubberized sealant. The engine was rebuilt and modified to accept dual Kadron carburetors and a solid-state ignition. The upholstery was done in VW style except for the addition of the stripes that match the exterior paint. The color of the exterior is a period correct VW color, but it is not seen that off them (Ravenna Green). From the factory there was no radio, but this vehicle has a modern AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo. The rear seats fold down, providing additional storage space along with the existing rear storage area. The back window can be opened independently without bringing down the whole top, to carry your surf board. the windows have vinyl storage pouches, which are kept in the trunk, which is in the front.

Options include AM/FM/CD Player, Manual Convertible Top, Vinyl Interior, Kill Switch, and Radial Tires.
