This Type 181 has undergone extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration, with documentation available for review. Approximately 1,300 miles have been accumulated since the restoration. Custom fabrication, upgraded mechanical components and distinctive exterior details help set it apart from typical surviving examples.
ULTIMATE OPEN-AIR CLASSIC

Military-inspired styling, upright bodywork and unmistakable Type 181 proportions make it a conversation starter at shows, cruise nights and weekend outings.

A custom roll bar, custom bumpers and performance suspension upgrades complement the built engine. This is a classic Volkswagen with personality, whether parked at a car show or enjoyed on a sunny afternoon.
A RARE AMERICAN-MARKET VOLKSWAGEN
The Volkswagen Thing was sold in the United States for the 1973 and 1974 model years. Its short U.S. sales run and unconventional design have made it a memorable part of air-cooled VW history.
