Vehicle Detail
1974 Volkswagen Thing that lived its life in Arizona and Nevada. This Car is fast and runs great. It was built to its current form about a year and a half ago and it has had about 7000 miles put on it since then. I'm not sure how many miles the car had originally but it was in really good shape. The engine is a normally aspirated 2.5 liter 4 cylinder from a 2006 Subaru legacy with 37,000 miles on it. I have a lot of cool cars from classics to high dollar exotics and this car by far gets the most attention by far.This car rides great and the air suspension allows the car to go from 0-8" of ground clearance. A couple of pictures show it up as high as it goes and most of the pictures are of it all the way down. The nice thing about air suspension is that you can raise it up to get into bad areas and lower it down to cruise. I have taken this car on a couple long road trips and it does great. The last trip I went from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas and it averaged 27mpg. It is quite roomy inside and can fit a 6' 5" person with good leg and head room. I will now list the features and components below. DRIVETRAIN - All new tires with 3000 miles on them- Brakes redone with all new wheel cylinders and Shoes- Freeway Flier IRS transmission- Kennedy stage III clutch and pressure plate- 220 HP fuel injected 2.5 Subaru Boxer engine- Out Front Motorsports tuned Stinger standalone engine management and wiring harness- Aluminum radiator with dual aluminum blade fans- Adjustable front suspension beam- Type 1 spindles and arms- Air Kewld air shocks in front and Slam specialties airbags in the rear- Dual Viar 480C air compressors- 7 gallon air tank- (8) 3/8 SMC Gold air valves (4 wheel independent control) BODY- Custom tubular roof rack with oak slats and stainless steel hardware- Custom safari adjustable dual windshields with laminated safety glass- Custom rubbed out paint job - Custom Canvas rear tonneau cover with twist fasteners- Custom dash parcel tray with rope weave bottom- Custom seat frames with woven rope faces- Seat belts- Stock Vw thing speedo and Autometer gauges- Air raid siren (horn)- Genuine Russian headlight blackout covers with HID headlights- Custom bumpers front and rear (lightweight but made to look heavy and menacing)- Military LED tail lights The body and floorpans are in really good shape and the car runs great. I will assist in loading it or you could fly in and drive it home. I think that about covers it but look below for updates and answers to peoples questions. I have this vehicle listed locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. If your seriously interested in this car and have some questions feel free to give me a call. Pictures just don't do this car justice, it is as cool as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks, Chris 801-920-3353
