VOLKSWAGEN THING CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE, 1974

$15,400 USD | Sold

Wonderfully built in the nostalgic Las Brisas Acapulco style. The exterior has been professionally refinished in the classic blue and white two tone to match the very unique blue and white striped interior and canvas top. Special Sunbrella fabric was ordered to build the custom interior and canopy top so that the fabric can handle any type of weather. A set of wooden duck boards were built for the interior floor boards. New wheels and tires, a freshly tuned 1,775cc motor and a 4-speed transmission power this cute little Thing. The 4 doors are easily removable and give the car an even more unique look when removed.
