Volkswagen 1974 Thing Type 181

1973 VW Thing, super fun to drive. The Thing has newer paint and a brand new black convertible top. It also comes with the factory
hardtop. Tires are in great shape and are sitting on new white wheels. I bought it to use down at the beach in Corpus. HOWEVER,
after I installed a new carburator and the new wheels my family informed me that no one wants to drive a standard. (3/4 of them
can't even work a clutch, I bet if the Thing had video games installed in it they would use it). The thing is ready to go. I've
got $11,000 in it and would like to be close to that. I am open to trades, plus or minus. as long as it doesn't eat. I can also
deliver the thing if the $$ is right. I refuse to deal with spam calls so i will only respond to craigslist email. Send me a email
thru Craigslist and I will contact you. I have had my share of "what's your best price" or my favorite one "is it still
available". Send me a brief email with your name and number I will reach out to you. I will not deal with BOTS. Thanks for
looking. Gary
