Description of 1973 Volkswagen Thing |
This is a One Of A Kind custom thing, with a great story. It was a nice cruiser, that went to many shows and cruse nights. Then after a weekend show, it was parked in the garage that unfortunately burnt down with the Thing inside. Unable to bring ourselves to "total' it, we decided to do a complete "frame off" restoration/custom build. The floor pan was custom painted by Furious Styles, and all suspension and brake components completely refurbished. with a upgraded narrowed adjustable front beam & adjustable rear spring plates (to get the stance perfect). Then a 1835cc Volkswagen performance engine was built (with reliability as its main goal). Then a set of Chrome Wheels with RedLine tires were mounted (goal was to make it look like a HotWheel). Then all new wiring was installed. Over one thousand dollars was spent just on Marine grade material for the one of a kind top and interior, as well as the window frames. Then custom painted logos were given a patina look to match the RatRod style of the Thing. vin 1832944442 *** logos can be removed and or replaced with your logos, please contact me for costs of this service *** On Aug-15-18 at 14:19:45 PDT, seller added the following information: roadster, patina, volkswagon, rat rod, hotrod, hot rod, dune buggy, dunebuggy, gas monkey, promotion vehicle, advertising vehicle. |
