1973 VW Thing Up for your consideration is a very nice 1973 VW Type 181 with 34000 actual miles. Sold new at Mountain States VW Denver CO in 1974. Documented history includes receipts and work orders since new. It runs,shifts, and looks like a 34000 mile vehicle should .This is a solid western vehicle with no rust and sporting most of it's original paint. A very fine example of a unrestored Thing with no modifications. All correct. Unbelievable ! Mechanically it runs like new. Shifting is tight and smooth as you would expect from a low mileage VW It was also recently fitted with the correct exhaust in stainless, for a 1973 only. ( not cheap ). There are no known mechanical issues. The car has been recently tuned as well as a valve adjustment. It's ready to drive anywhere and enjoy. The body is in amazing condition. The top has been replaced recently and is also in excellent shape . There is a small tear in the right rear side curtain. See pics. There is a small dent in the engine compartment lid. See pics. Bumpers have minor paint chips but are straight. The BN4 gas-fired heater is a very interesting feature that was available on the 1973 model only. And yes, it has been serviced recently and works great !! The interior is also in very good shape. The dash is perfect. No cracks. Everything works. Bottoms of front seats are showing a little wear. It also has a custom made tonneau cover if you should want to remove the top. Floors are perfect and rust free as well as the rest of the vehicle. This is not only a fun vehicle but a great investment as Things of this quality will only continue to soar in value. Reserve is low . So bid to win.
