Very cool custom beach cruiser or Baja runner. This 1974 Volkswagen Thing has many custom upgrades and desirable features. Great-running 1600 motor with custom performance exhaust, manual transmission with Hurst shifter, full-cage roll bar, custom front and rear crash bars, custom wheels with on/off-road tires, overhead-mounted spare tire, custom Bimini canvas top, custom carpet cargo mat and front custom performance seats. This rare and unique vehicle is super reliable, runs strong and drives tight. Well-cared-for with maintenance records and receipts, original owner's manual and customer Certicard. Great-looking and fun to own with tons of unique characteristics and style.

Front fold-down windshield, front cargo compartment and rear-mounted motor. It is a fantastic cruiser on or off-road.
