The reliable strong running 4 cylinder 1600cc bulletproof air cooled VW power-plant purrs like a kitten and is mated to 4 speed manual transmission. Clutch is good. The traction advantage of the engine being over the rear driving wheels makes it a very nimble and able vehicle, and it's very fun to drive. It can go places others can't. This Thing brakes well and handles great. The exterior is custom painted a matte "Hella Yella" Jeep color by Nason. The interior is black with comfortable high back contoured seats. The rear seats fold down for more storage. This is a very unique and versatile vehicle. Why buy a $60,000.00+ Jeep (that you see everywhere) when you can have this cool collectible classic. Jump in and cruise this VW Thing down the road and you will see why this is the perfect vehicle for a beach day, camping or anything outdoors. Super fun and affordable to own and operate. Volkswagen only sold these in the USA for two years ('73 & '74) so it is very collectable.Losing my storage area so it must go.Minor issues worth noting: A little fogging on the bottom of the windshield, horn andemergency flashersnot presently working, reverse lights not working, front seats are power units but are not hooked up, heaters controls not hooked up. It had some usual rust in the floorboards but was repair welded.
