Summary
This 1973 Volkswagen Thing features a unique green tartan cloth interior and is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. It was reportedly refurbished during previous ownership, including a repaint in its factory Pumpkin Orange, and has seen recent maintenance including replacement of the exhaust system, fuel tank, shocks, and brake components. The odometer shows 61k miles, though true mileage is unknown.
