1973 Volkswagen Thing

For sale in our Fort Lauderdale showroom is this beautiful example of the unforgettable 1973 Volkswagen Thing. These VWs are a thing of the past, with looks that catch the eyes of almost everyone who sees them. Born from the heart of Germany in the late 60s, the VW Thing was created to be a lightweight and amphibious vehicle that could be produced for the masses. Designed off the platform of other WW2 era German military vehicles, these were built with shared ideas from the Beetle, Karmann-Ghia and the Microbus. With a 4 cylinder engine and a 4 speed manual transaxle, man this car is fun to drive! The exterior is an awesome shade of Ice Blue which bends beautifully with the darker navy top. Picture yourself driving this car down to the local beach with the top down, the soothing ride puts you at ease as you cruise to the coast. You spend the day sunbathing on the shore, while everyone looks on with jealousy at your super cool Volkswagen. Then simply pop up the top, and drop in the removable windows and you will never have to skip a beat when the weather does not agree. This VW has various custom features, including a custom front and rear bumper, white painted Gates wheels and extended fender flares. The interior of this 1973 Thing for sale is original and vintage styled, with vinyl bucket seats. Built for simplicity, this Thing is very basic and is enjoyable for drivers of all ages.
