An iconic and affordable classic that is an awful lot of fun to drive . Always turns heads and draws a smile from both young and old , man .... woman and child . The other beauty of The Thing is that , sadly , as fewer of them survive over time , they will not only hold their value but appreciate . Ultimately , bottom-line , they are meant to be driven and enjoyed . This is a vehicle that creates memories . The VW Thing being offered here is a very solid example . It is in ready - to - drive , turn-key condition that has been sparingly used over the last 12 years . We have $ 6,323.59 in receipts with documentation of an engine re-build completed in November of 2002 at 12,620. miles by Restorations and Customs in Manassas , Virginia . There will be any # of questions on a vehicle of this type . Our objective is for the eventual buyer to feel comfortable with their purchase . Please feel free to ask any series of questions that will accomplish this goal . Hopefully , the photos and some of the following bits of information will help . My cellular # is : ( 850 ) 566-2699 . My name is : Roman . The exterior paint was freshened up in 2008 .Original tire jack .Original mats .Original period - correct spare tire and wheel . Tires are approx . 70% and 5 years old .Original side windows with storage bags which are in fair / serviceable condition There is indeed a crack in the windshield The rear window of the convertible top is mildly opaque ..... but we have learned of a Meguiar's product that should help clear it up . I will post to the ad the outcome , once we give it a try in the next few days . Wish us luck . In the four spots where the stanchions of a prior roll bar was set , those spots have been covered with individual metal plates . Sadly , the roll bar is no longer available . These are just some very minor items . As you can see , this is a quite special vehicle . Of course , we will gladly assist with any pre-sale inspection you deem necessary . As mentioned , please feel free to contact me by e-mail or phone . This VW Thing is being offered for sale locally , therefore , we reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time .
