$24,200 USD | Sold

This Acapulco Thing has had a first-class, high-end restoration. The car has undergone a complete pan-off restoration with over 800 hours and about 20 miles put on it since the 2009 restoration. The motor was completely rebuilt as new specs, and almost every piece on this car has been rebuilt or replaced. It features a 4-cylinder engine with a manual transmission. This is a fine example of an Acapulco Thing. From the Tammy Allen Collection.
