Summary
This 1973 Volkswagen Thing has been owned by the seller for 27 years and features a repaint in white, a black soft top, and a suspension lift kit.

It rides on polished 15” Centerline wheels and includes the removed wheels, tires, and suspension spindles.

Brgs77 @71quince wiper motor works well. I've never tried the gas heater. I live in Southern California so never had the need.
