Summary
This 1973 Volkswagen Thing features a recently installed replacement 1.6-liter flat-four engine, rebuilt 20k miles ago, and a four-speed manual transaxle. Extensive recent maintenance includes new brakes, tires, ignition components, and fuel system parts. The vehicle is finished in orange over black upholstery, equipped with a fold-down windshield, roll bars, and removable doors, though the odometer's 22k-mile reading is not believed to be accurate.
