| 1974 Volkswagen Thing |
| This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 The Volkswagen Thing was spawned by a German runabout military vehicle known as the ""Kubelwagen""...Kubel meaning ""bucket"" and Wagen meaning ""Car"". A name, which is quite fitting for the design. The Thing was only called ""The Thing"" in North America where it went on sale in 1973; elsewhere it was known as the Trekker, the Safari, or simply Type 181. Spartan by design, the Thing became quite popular in the US market as it appealed especially to the youth. The thing cost only $3150.00 dollars making it affordable to the American public. To this day, the quirky Thing is recognizable and popular among motoring enthusiasts. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this cheeky 1973 Volkswagen Thing for your consideration. The Thing is finished in a lovely shade of Avocado Green and is overall in nice shape. The body is nice and generally clean although there is a bit of surface rust seen in some seems and in the inner fenders. It has black-painted bumpers, 14-inch black steel wheels, and a black cloth top along with side curtains. This little Thing drives very well and would make the perfect summer beach vehicle. Cheerful and easy to fix, it's no wonder that these little Things are so revered! This example comes with lots of service history and paperwork!
