Very Original 1973 VW Thing for Sale

Visit www.leftcoastclassics.com to see this 1973 Volkswagen Thing for sale from Left Coast Classics in Sonoma California.
After 14 years in my career and many VW Things passing through my hands, this is a first to see a 45-year-old VW Thing with body, paint, and floors still original and with no rust or filler! The interior is also in excellent shape and the car even sports the original top and side-curtains. The front seats were recently reupholstered to factory specifications and are very comfortable.
This super original 1973 Volkswagen Thing for sale is unusually well preserved with low, original mileage of just 87,929 miles. As they say, they're only original once! This special Thing was stored indoors for 25+ years and brought out of hibernation just a few years ago. Having been thoroughly gone through mechanically it is ready to enjoy, hassle-free and what better provenance!
For anyone with a fond appreciation for low mileage, original and well-preserved cars, this is an outstanding Thing that needs nothing. For an enthusiast looking for one to restore to perfection, you couldn't ask for a better candidate.
The car is road ready and has been recently tuned, new tires installed, new KYB gas shocks, battery, clutch, ball joints, tie-rod ends, brakes, wheel cylinders and valve adjustment along with a new carburetor, new steering box, and intake boots. It starts; runs and drives great and it's 1600cc motor performs well. The gas heater is present as well.

Hey Donn, You sure do score some of the cleanest rides. Congratulations on your many finds. Maybe someday you may have or find something I am interested in? That being virtually any pre 1974 Mazda's preferably the Rotary Rx family. Rotary Pick up is high on my list. I am like many enthusiasts, I have the dream of owning an original hidden gem. You seem to have a gift on locating of some the most fabulous dream rides from the past. I hope you get this message and have the time to let me know if this is even a possibility someday? Thank you.

Hey, Thing owners. Because the 181 has no glove box, what do you do with registration, insurance papers, etc? I don't want to leave them sitting in the hole in the dashboard when I'll usually be driving it with the windows off. I just bought a Thing and am having a restoration done out of state, and this question has been on my mind.

Me gusta el carro un VW Type Thing 181 1973; Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías Q.E.P.D; tenía uno así; me gusta ése carro porqué es cómo un Jeep; es un todoterreno; es tipo camioneta; además es ahorrador de gasolina; cuándo se estabilize todo en Venezuela mi país; voy a aprender a manejar el carro; también en caminos de arena y barro (trochas); hay qué restaurar el carro; saludos.

WOW! How cool is this VDUB!! What’s a ball park price?

[@leftcoastclassics]

Just put up more details www.leftcoastclassics.com/LCCofferings.html She sure is a nice Thing!

[@vinnyvdalidemonet8527]

I am with Poole Thomas and second that, what is a desired ball park price?

[@2Aqua1]

Jimmy Weeks The Owner priced it around 13K....

[@vinnyvdalidemonet8527]

Poole Thomas Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I would love to discover one of these hidden gems from an original owner. Not a person that is looking to make an outrageous fortune. This "Thing" I assume only cost a few thousand at the absolute most when brand new? I think some of the older generation are happy with a profit doubling what they paid. At least in my dreams it's that way. ha ha

i have not seen a vw thing on the road in like 28-30 years not even at a car show. That thing is in great shape and the motor sound a little too high on the idle

[@haleyyoung2521]

[@Mark22134]

Need a undecoating to protect

[@loriN.1]

Need Car Cover for Thing where to buy?

[@hey_buddy_waz_up]

Just laughing at the trailer hitch. What could you possibly tow with that thing?

[@jerrellhelms8378]

My Dad had a VW Microbus he worked out of. It had the 40HP motor. We pulled a 16 ft fiberglass V hull boat with outboard motor 50 miles one way to fish many times. There was one hill where we would be in 1st gear before we topped it. He loved it so much he bought 2 newer ones with 65 HP and we used those into the 80s. The first one was red and faded to a pink and I would love to have it today.
