Now for sale in the Houston Showroom is this 1978 Volkswagen Thing. The VW Thing originated in the 1960's when the Europeans decided to build a military car 'together' to compete with the Jeep. While that was ongoing, Germany developed the highly utilitarian and capable Type 181. It was eventually offered to the public and made it to the US in 1973 and 1974. Other year models such as this one was produced outside the U. S.
The engine in the vehicle is a 1.6L paired to a 4-Speed Manual transmission. Great for cruising the beaches, or out to your local car meets these Things are always something cool to see. With fewer on the road as time goes on, this is a prime opportunity to get your hands on one.
Repainted by Trudy's out of Galveston, the vibrant Red paint certainly stands out. This VW also comes with all 4 removable windows. The rear seats also come down to add more storage space in the back if you want to take it on a weekend getaway.
