The Type 181-"Thing" was developed for the civilian market in the 1960's based the Type 82 Kubelwagen used by the Germans in World War II.  They were only sold in US in 1973-74. which makes them rather rare and collectable in good or better condition.  This beautiful example of the Type 181 - Thing is fully complete and has never been modified.  An older restoration included: correct paint. bumpers. soft top. VW factory 1600cc replacement engine (AM 008411). transaxles. factory wheels. and more.  All chromes shines and is in excellent condition. It drives straight and strong. shifts through all gears smoothly. and has no rust.  The car is an excellent "10-footer" and receives raves and compliments everywhere it goes.  The paint is not perfect but is very good.  The soft top is also in very good condition. supple. no cracks or dryness. and only one small 1/2-inch cut where the frame pinched the vinyl.  I've owned the car for 8-years. always kept  it in garage. and changed oil 2x year.  It's only driven with the top down to shows. parades. and for special occasions. like going to the post office or out to dinner.  I'm very reluctantly selling this now due to a new business venture. which requires garage space and capital.  This Thing will not disappoint even the most discerning VW collector. as it's all there and in excellent condition.
