CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
1973 VW Thing * High Back Black Bucket Seats * Original VW Gas Heater Is Intact (Never tried it...I'm in Florida)* Nice Sport Wood Steering Wheel* New Brake Master Cylinder* Custom Roll Bar* Black Bikini Top Included (Easy to take on and off)* Includes 2 Custom Painted To Match Surfboards (Very Cool & Unique Shade Roof) Up to 40 MPH* New Carburetor* New Exhaust* New Wipers* New Door Seals Front And Rear* Nice Stereo With Removable Faceplate* Good Pans / Nice Rockers / Overall Not Perfect But Nice* Starts Right Up / Runs Great / Shifts Nice & Brakes Well* Fold Down Windshield / Fold Down Rear Seats* All Running Lights Work & Wipers Work* Loads Of Fun / A Head Turner Everywhere It Goes With Thumbs Up!* Ready For Summer Fun / Turn Key And Go / Clear Title In HandThis Thing is set up to be the perfect "Every Day Driver" "Beach Cruiser" "Jeep Style" or maybe in its roadster configuration without the doors and windshield down is the set up for you to enjoy...with the wind in your hair all year long. The reliable strong running 4 cylinder 1600cc bulletproof air cooled VW power-plant purrs like a kitten and is mated to 4 speed manual transmission. Clutch is good. The traction advantage of the engine being over the rear driving wheels makes it a very nimble and able vehicle, and it's very fun to drive. It can go places others can't. This Thing brakes well and handles great. The exterior is painted "Thing Orange" and it has a nice shine. The interior is black with comfortable high back front bucket seats. The rear seats fold down for more storage. This is a very unique and versatile vehicle. Why buy a $60,000.00+ Jeep (that you see everywhere) when you can have this cool collectible classic. Jump in and cruise this VW Thing down the road and you will see why this is the perfect vehicle for a beach day, camping or anything outdoors. Super fun and affordable to own and operate. Volkswagen only sold these in the USA for two years ('73 & '74) so it is very collectable. Losing my storage area so it must go. Minor issues worth noting: Horn and emergency flashers not presently working (bulbs/ fuse/ loose wire?), reverse lights not working (bulbs /loose wre?) Has the factory VW gas heater intact but untested / un-used (In Florida so never needed), and It had some common rust in the battery area but it was repair welded.THIS "THING" IS PERFECT FOR: * Everyday "Super Cool" Daily Driver* The Beach / Off Roading* Weekend Getaways / Camping* Business Promotion (Perfect For Surf Shop? Dive Shop? Urban Outfitter?) * Any Business That Wants Maximum Attention* A Sport Ute You Can Enjoy....Street / Sand / Mud / Off Road* Ultimate Grocery Getter (for the surfer or off roader in you!)* Seeing The Country / Outdoor Excursion or a RV tow behind vehicle? * Car Shows / Tour Vehicle / Novelty Vehicle / Wine Country Tours * Automotive Investment / Auto Museum * A gift for the someone that has everything! * Income Producing (Specialty UBER Type / Valet / Shuttle Business?)* Family Fun...The Toy You Always Wanted!BUY IT NOW OR MAKE OFFER....If it's reasonable I will accept.EASY FINANCING IF NEEDED THRU JJ BESTWWW.JJBEST.COMCALL CHRIS @ 508-415-1035 OR [email protected] POSSIBLE CLASSIC CAR LOAN OPTIONS: http://www.hagerty.com/finance/finance_index.aspxhttp://www.woodsidecredit.com/http://www.jjbest.com/http://www.motorcarsfinancial.com/PRIVATE SELLER / NOT A DEALER / CLEAR TITLE IN HANDPlease Call 954-232-8000 with questions or to view / inspect this car.If you need to ship the car...
