This auction is for an unrestored 1974 VW type 181 "Thing".


This car is cosmetically not perfect but by far the cleanest. most complete. unadulterated and true. non-restored 181 you'll find on any of the selling sites.


It starts immediately from cold and will run with confidence all day. every day.

Previous owner spent over $3000 getting back to as close to stock as possible.
