About this vehicle This 1974 Volkswagen Thing is an original with updates to the exterior. The owner has had it for 1 year. The vehicle runs great and is not regularly driven. Seller's Notes Front push bar, hood grab bar, hood hold downs, undercoating Exterior 1974 Volkswagen Thing is a N.W. Pennsylvania "barn find". Car was originally purchased by the second owner from the original in Florida. The second owner bought the car as a gift for his High School aged son to drive while in school. Upon graduation; the son joined the Marine Corps. Shortly after the "second owner" put the car in storage in his pole barn in N.W. Pennsylvania. Decades passed, and the vehicle sat undriven, and the vehicle was all, but forgotten, until 2019 when the "second owner" pulled the vehicle from storage. The vehicle was painted, and undercoated. The heater was removed. The gas tank was replaced. The shock absorbers were replaced along with the battery, generator, and voltage regulator. The vehicle was then driven minimally on the owners property, and to the beach. The vehicle does have a current Pennsylvania inspection sticker. I purchased the car from the owner, and shipped it in an enclosed trailer to Illinois. I have gone over the vehicle, made minor repairs including the turn signals, and other general TLC, and lubrication where required. I have never registered the vehicle, and may have put 2 miles test driving around my neighborhood. It starts right up. I would like to keep the vehicle, and do a full pro restoration, but unfortunately due to my current employment situation; I have no choice but to put this unique, rare, and very much sought-after vehicle up for sale Interior 17,777 original miles, all interior is original, the front driver's seat is in extremely poor condition, and has a cover, the front passenger seat is in good condition, but has a tear on the side. The upper rear seats are in excellent condition, and so are the springs. The seams are blown out on both sides of the bench seat. Engine The engine has less than 18000 original miles, and sounds "tight". I also installed a replacement trunk seal. Deposits are nonrefundable. Created on the eBay Motors app |
