While this military vehicle isn't a VW Thing it is a rare 1962 Mercedes Benz Unimog S 404.1 The 404 was intended to be a mobile cross-country truck, but Unimogs have been used by many different militaries. The primary customer of the 404 S was the Federal West German army during the cold war. This particular Unimog was used as a French military vehicle - $9800 Call John 612-805-2428
1973 VW Thing for Sale
First off we have this very nicely restored orange VW Thing for sale. This is a California Thing, originally from the Southern California desert. Very solid with no signs of bondo or rust. This VW Thing under went a recent, nice quality restoration. The paint is fresh and looks great! The interior was redone and looks fantastic and a new top was put on as well. The attention to detail is obvious. Bumpers, glass and rubber all look very nice. In addition, it starts, runs and drives very nicely. New exhaust system, wheels, tires and more. The original gas heater is installed but not connected. - SOLD

1973 VW Thing for Sale
Here is another option for you if you are looking for something very affordable just to get your foot into the fun world of VW Things. It's a project car for sure. It's a '73 VW Thing and if you don't want to feel overwhelmed with a total restoration you could perhaps put brakes in it, put on some newer tires and a classic air-cooled motor and just enjoy it as is. It has a factory hard top. I got this one from a lady who had owned it since the '80s. It has low mileage but that doesn't exactly matter as much without the motor. It would be a lot of work to restore to factory showroom condition but that could always remain an option down the road if you were to just focus on getting it back on the road to start.
1974 VW Thing The second VW Thing we have for sale is this great red Thing. The engine in this VW starts right up and runs great, even without giving it any gas, you can just lean through the door, hit the key, and the engine fires right up. When I was checking out this car the original founder of Things Unlimited was there tuning the engine and carburetor. That guy sure knows what he's doing because the car runs and idles great. You can have your choice of the wheels and tires that are on the car, or you can have a good set of stock wheels and tires if you prefer. - SOLD
Ever since buying my first '74 VW Thing in 1991 I've been hooked, and now I had the chance to sell the one and only "Safari Grande" featured in Dune Buggies and Hot VW's! It was built by Larry Dustman of the Thing Shop in Arizona. A custom built 1973-1974 6-door Acapulco VW Thing Limousine! The front half of a 1973 and the back half of a 1974 - so it has heat in the front and back. Larry built 2 of these but the other has gone missing - it was last seen, gulp, in a junk yard, and has since disappeared. This limo Thing has a stretched Hard Top, a stretched Acapulco Top, Full roll bars, 2387 Cc engine (this beauty roars!), and dual carbs. Larry changed the paint scheme to blue and white in the late '90's at the request of a previous owner. Click image for photos and video of this Acapulco VW Thing

Another famous Thing (above) is an awesome custom built (also by The Thing Shop, and also featured in Dune Buggies and Hot VW's) sexy little 1973 2-door Acapulco VW Thing. The "Safari Pequeño" This is a great fun little Thing, and I believe it is a one of a kind. It was built by John Cullinan while working at the Thing Shop and shortened 14 inches to make it a 2 door. It has since had the motor replaced with a mostly stock VW Beetle engine, and the color scheme changed to yellow. (the 6-door limo and this 2-door actually switched color schemes) Click below for detailed photos and video of this classic Acapulco VW Thing
Acapulco Thing number three (above) is an original 1974 4-door Acapulco - Mostly restored by Steve Leonardis of San Jose California. Everything is stock, it came from California and has all correct vacuum lines and California emissions in their correct locations. It even has the original motor, original muffler, and stock Thing radio and speaker. Has the original Surrey Top on an additional frame, and a Hard Top with luggage rack (pictured above). 60,481 original miles. SOLD Many more photos videos, and full descriptions of these three VW Things for sale can be seen at SunsetClassics.com Thanks for looking!
