YOU ARE LOOKING AT A VERY RARE AND COLLECTABLE VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 181 “THING”.
THE TYPE 181 WAS A TWO-WHEEL DRIVE, FOUR-DOOR, CONVERTIBLE, OFF-ROAD VEHICLE. THE 181 WAS ONLY SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES AS THE “THING” FROM 1973-1974. GIVEN THIS, THESE ARE VERY RARE CARS.
THE MOTOR IS A 1.5L HORIZONTALLY OPPOSED 4 CYLINDER AND THE MOTOR IS THE CORRECT MANUAL 4 SPEED ON THE FLOOR.
THIS “THING” WAS FULLY RESTORED APRROX 7 YEARS AGO AND HAS RARELY BEEN DRIVEN SINCE. IT WAS PAINTED A BRIGHT GREEN AND HAS A CONTRASTING WHITE FIBERGLASS REMOVABLE TOP.
EXTERIOR: THE BRIGHT GREEN PAINT ON THIS VW LOOKS GREAT. THE CONTRASTING WHITE TOP GIVES IT A REALLY NICE LOOK RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS THE STANDARD BRUSH GUARD LOOKING BUMPER. THE WINDSHIELD IS IN PERFECT SHAPE AS ARE THE PLASTIC DOOR WINDOWS. THE WHEELS ARE A CUSTOM ENKEI 15 INCH ALUMINUM WITH RADIAL TIRES THAT HAVE 94% TREAD LEFT. THE EXHAUST TIPS ARE CHROME AND EXTEND OUT PAST THE BUMPER. YOU WILL GET TONS OF LOOKS AS YOU RARELY SEE THESE CARS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
INTERIOR: THIS VW WAS COMPLETELY RESTORED ON THE INSIDE AS WELL. THE SEATS WERE REDONE IN A BLACK VINYL AND THE CARPET IS A NEW BLACK AS WELL. THE DASH IS UNMOLESTED AND THERE IS A CB RADIO MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH. ALL THE GAUGES WORK AS THEY SHOULD. THE FLOOR SHIFTER CONTROLS THE 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
MECHANICALLY THIS VW WAS TOTALLY GONE THROUGH AND IS VERY STRONG. THE MOTOR IS A 1.5L HORIZONTALLY OPPOSED 4 CYLINDER WAS REMOVED AND REBUILT (SEE PICS). THE TRANSMISSION IS A 4 SPEED MANUAL. OTHER ITEMS THAT WERE REBUILT OR REPLACED WERE THE TRANSAXLE, FRONT END AND BRAKE SYSTEM. THE CAR FIRES RIGHT UP EVERYTIME AND DRIVES STRONG DOWN THE ROAD.
