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 recently painted "Thing Orange" and it has a very nice finish and nice shine. The interior is black with comfortable high back front bucket seats and black loop carpeting. The JVC stereo system is really nice with a removable faceplate for safe keeping. 2 stereo speakers are professionally installed in the foot wells up front. The rear seats fold down for more storage.

Jump in and cruise this VW "Thing" down the road and you will see why this is the perfect vehicle for a fun 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.
