Summary
This 1974 Volkswagen Thing, refinished in Pumpkin Orange over black vinyl, features a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Notable features include a black soft top, removable side curtains, KYB shocks, drum brakes, and a Pioneer CD stereo. Recent 2024 maintenance included an oil change and replacement of the fuel filter, fuel lines, and carburetor, though the parking brake does not work and corrosion is present on various underside components.
