I have a nice 1973 Volkswagen Thing I've had for about 2 years now. I bought it from a collector in NJ who said he had owned it for approximately 10 years.  He said it was restored in 94 by someone else.  I brought it out from NJ to Colorado two summers ago and have done some minor. mostly cosmetic work.

I put new reconditioned seats in front and new covers on the back seats.  Scrubbed it and buffed it out.  I put all new brakes and new pads all around. new cylinders all around. new master cylinder . all new rubber lines . new spring kit.  I put a new battery in it a month ago.  Tires are in good shape.  

Now I call it a driver.  I use it for driving around my local community and it does great.  A real head turner. they haven't seen many around here.  It looks good but the closer you get the more flaws you see.  The paint is tired but being white makes it acceptable.  The overall body in good shape with little rust and few dings.  I say dings because there isn't any bent metal just a couple "dings".  The under carriage has been coated and it looks to have some rust.  The driver side pan appears to have been replaced and the passenger side looks good.

The top is in great shape and work well.  No rips in the top or back window.  The side windows look original. nothing ripped but faded.  The front window is in great shape.

Everything works well.  Has original Sapphire radio which works.  I've never tried the gas heater but it has everything and looks good.

The motor was reworked prior to me owing it and has run well for me.  It has a new carb.  I've done tuneups on it and oil changes is all.  There is a small oil leak from the oil filter cover.  Hey it's a VW.  

I have a clear Colorado title for it in my name.  Which matches the numbers on the car.

I have a reasonable starting bid with no reserve to get this sold.

You can email me at wearbart@gmail. com for more info and pictures.

 $1. 00 non-refundable deposit required within 24 hours of action closing.  

Can be picked up in Louisville Colorado 80027 and I will provide reasonable assistance getting it loaded if you need.
