Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1973 Volkswagen Thing. The Volkswagen Type 181, which was fondly referred to as the "The Thing" in the US market, was initially designed as a low-cost and sturdy quarter-ton Jeep equivalent for the German military. However, Volkswagen witnessed a growing demand from the public for a vehicle that could go anywhere, and thus, a civilian version of the car was introduced. The vehicle utilized a modified Karmann Ghia Chassis and Beetle drivetrain, which meant that access to the vast Volkswagen dealership network for convenient servicing was always within reach. Under the hood, you'll find an impressive 1800CC Transverse 4 other engine paired with a 4 Speed manual transmission, offering a dynamic driving experience that is both engaging and exhilarating. This powertrain combination ensures a smooth and responsive ride, bringing joy to every journey. The manual convertible top lets you savor the open-air experience, making every ride a memorable adventure. This 1973 Volkswagen Thing is a vehicle that car enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate for its unique character and charm. Take the opportunity to own a piece of automotive history with this exceptional Volkswagen Thing.
