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.

Safari Grande 6-Door Acapulco VW Thing Limousine

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)

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.
