They sure aren't very common. They only brought 'em in to the states in '73 and '74. I've owned a '74 since 1991 (when I was in High school!)

Lucky to have an uncle who restores old VWs (and owns a Thing) so I knew what one was. It was in a neighbor's garage near my parent's place and I was dog and house sitting (and car buying as it turned out!)

You've got a nice looking Thing there...

How much does one of those go for since they aren't very common?

You saw a nice and rare thing at there. I wish if I can see such a wonderful VWs of 74.
