Summary
This 1973 Volkswagen Thing boasts significant provenance, having been acquired by three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Unser in 1994 and remaining in his family. It features a replacement 1,776cc flat-four engine with a Weber carburetor, a four-speed manual transaxle from a Type 2 bus, and power-adjustable Audi front seats. The car also includes a white soft top, a roll cage, extended rear fenders, and a clean New Mexico title.
