Up for sale in the Houston showroom is one cool Volkswagen, the 1974 VW Thing. The Volkswagen Thing is technically called the Type 181 and it is a two-wheel drive, four-door, convertible, off-road, military type vehicle manufactured by Volkswagen from 1968 to 1983. Originally developed for the West German Army, the Type 181 was also sold to the public, as the Kurierwagen in West Germany, the Trekker, which was right hand drive in the United Kingdom, the Thing in the United States (1973–74), the Safari in Mexico and South America, and Pescaccia in Italy. Restored in a magnificent two tone blue this Thing for sale really draws the crowd. The custom push bar in front ad's to the off-road nature of this VW for sale and the aluminum alloy wheels on the oversized radial tires makes it so appeasing to look it. The inside was done with modern in mind so a set of sport, heated and power seats were called into duty. Basically color matching the inside with the outside makes this Volkswagen Thing for sale one of a kind. Powered by the brute 1650CC inline 4 cylinder engine and rowing through the gears via a 4 speed manual transmission with the top down is an exhilarating feeling. 4 Wheel power disk brakes help slow down the awesome forward motion and add a great sense of security. Options on this super rare and gorgeous 1974 Volkswagen Thing for sale include: Am/fm/cd radio, power disk brakes, seat belts, power seats, heater seats, numbers are matching and aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in radial tires.
