1974 VW Thing Interior
1974 VW Thing
This is one of two VW Things we currently have for sale. This one is the more
affordable of the two as it needs some good engine work. This is an original
Avocado Green Thing--the rarest of the 4 available stock colors, it has been
repainted but it is fairly close to the original color. The engine isn't
running on all 4 cylinders, however I have connections
to some good, used engines if you don't want to do your own engine work. The
brakes work but will need some attention.

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. More details can be
found at Sunset Classics by clicking the image above.
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.

Thing number two (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. 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)
