1974 VW Thing Safari Acapulco Edition. The 'factory-produced' Acapulco Edition was not a standard Thing with a paint scheme. Acapulco Editions were produced in a three-month period only during the 1974 model year. Originally designed for the Las Brisas Hotel in Acapulco, Mexico. The Thing was only distributed in America in 1973 and 1974. This VW Thing received a comprehensive restoration. The vehicle was stripped down and given a top-to-bottom professional restoration, and has zero miles since it was completed. Solid chassis and is factory-correct in every way.
It wears the Acapulco color combination of Aqua Blue and Cream, along with a new corresponding color-matching interior and Safari top. They were originally marketed as an instant dune buggy, as all four doors remove easily and the windshield folds down onto the hood. This example features all the unique Acapulco options, namely side steps with the factory threaded mounting holes, surrey top and hardware on the cowl, wide whitewall tires, striped interior and exterior upholstery accents, along with matching Coco mats. It is powered by a 1600cc engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. It wears all the correct VW decals in every specific factory location.
Many invoices come with it, dating back almost 10 years. It has 32,077 original miles (mileage not indicated on the title).
