1973 Volkswagen Thing w/ 2 Tops - Low Miles

No Reserve. This one comes with 2 tops! Coming from the estate of the original owner, this "Thing" is only showing 20,900 original miles. Originally developed for military use before becoming one of Volkswagen's most distinctive civilian models, the 1973 Volkswagen Thing has earned a loyal following thanks to its unmistakable styling, open-air versatility, and simple mechanical design. Finished in classic white with a contrasting black convertible top, this example captures the fun-loving personality that made the Thing an icon of the 1970s. Factory-style steel wheels with color-keyed hubcaps, wide whitewall tires, and period-correct "The Thing" side graphics complete its unmistakable appearance, while removable doors and a folding soft top offer the unique open-air driving experience that has made these rare Volkswagens increasingly collectible. Imported to the United States for only the 1973 and 1974 model years, the Thing remains one of the most recognizable and conversation-starting vehicles Volkswagen ever produced. Powered by Volkswagen's dependable rear-mounted air-cooled flat-four engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission, the Thing delivers the simple, engaging driving experience enthusiasts have appreciated for decades. Equally at home cruising to local car shows, beach towns, or weekend events, it combines rugged utility with undeniable charm and practicality. As interest in vintage Volkswagens continues to grow, well-presented Things have become increasingly sought after for their limited U.S. production, distinctive styling, and ease of ownership. This 1973 Volkswagen Thing represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of the most unique and enjoyable classics of the era - a vehicle that attracts smiles, sparks conversations, and stands apart wherever it goes. MILEAGE: 20900. VIN: 1832421183.
