1974 Volkswagon ThingType 181I originally bought this car in 1984. Used it on the weekends, evenings and even used it in a parade once. It's always been stored inside. Very fun car to drive. I've always had Volkswagons and this was definatly the most fun to drive. There arent a lot of these left so they really turn heads. They were only sold in the U.S. in 1973 and 74. It has some rust, floor boards are rusted in the usual places as you can see in the picks. I removed a home made front bumper that the previous owner had installed and bought an original VW front bumper. As you can see in the picks it's not installed yet but it will go with the car. The top is in decent shape, I replaced it 10 years ago or so and had the seats recovered. I have all of the original windows and frames, the plastic has yellowed but the frames and material that holds the plastic are in great shape.Doors are in great shape and all work well. It's not a car that I drive often but it always starts right up. Fresh gas and a battery,she's never let me down. The tires don't hold air longer than a week or so and are crocking do to drying out. They're probably 15 years old so if it's going to be a daily driver you will need new tires. This is a no-reserve auction so someone will get a great deal. Feel free to call or email with any questions.Bob @ 386-804-9919 or bobsoldit@yahoo.com . $500 deposit due at end of auction via PayPal and balance due in cash when picked up. No checks, money orders or bank drafts. Cash only! I'll help with loading if you bring a trailer or can assist with loading if you hire a car shipping company but you must make the arrangements.A few people have expressed an interest locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Odometer reads 46k,I don't know if that's original or not. Good luck and Happy Bidding.
