Vehicle Description
1973 VW THING BEACH CAR CONVERTIBLE 'KEEP A GOOD THING GOINIG'
A 1973 VW THING, 4 DOOR CONVERTIBLE, 4SP, 1600 REBUILT MOTOR WITH APROX 5000 MILES ON IT, RBLT TRANS, NEWER TIRE, SHOCKS, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, VERY DEPANDABLE AND I HAVE BEEN USING IT AS A DAILY DRIVER AND ON LONG TRIPS. THIS IS THE FIRST AIR COOLED VW THAT I HAVE REALLY TAKEN EVERYWHERE WITH NO WORRIES. CAR GETS LOTS OF ATTENTION, MOST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. GETS GREAT GAS MILLAGE AND IS VERY GOOD OFF ROAD. HAS GREAT CD PLAYER RADIO, NICE INTERIOR, ALL LIGHTS WORK, STARTS EVERYTIME ON FIRST TRY. HAS SEAT BELTS IN FRONT ONLY. REAR SEAT BACKS FOLD DOWN TO MAKE THE THING LIKE A LITTLE PICK-UP. ALL DOORS COME OUT AND ARE INTERCHANGABLE AND WINDSHIELD FOLDS DOWN. IF U WANT A FUN CAR TO DRIVE AND NOT WORRIE THAT SOME ONE WILL SCRATCH IT AND JUST HAVE FUN THIS ONE IS FOR YOU. COMES WITH BLUE BOARD IN PIC...
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ-- I WANT TO LET BUYER KNOW AS MUCH AS I DO BCS I HATE TO BE RIPPED OF AND I WANT TO KEEP MY EBAY SCORE AT 100% POSITIVE. THIS IS A 35+ YEAR OLD CAR THAT HAS AND WILL NEED SOME WORK. VW PARTS ARE VERY CHEAP AND VW'S ARE EASY TO WORK ON. THE BAD- PAINT LOOKS GOOD BUT IT IS CHIPED, SCRATCHED ETC,IN SOME SPOTS I THINK MAYBE RUST WAS PAINTED OVER BCS THEIR IS BUBBLES, REAR RIGHT FLOOR PAN IS RUSTED OUT AND AND NEW PAN HALF IS PLACED IN BUT NOT WELDED IN ( I DRIVE IT AS-IS AND HAVE NO PROBLEM, LEFT PAN REAR HAS SOME RUST HOLES AND SHOULD BE RAPLECED TOO BUT IT IS USABLE AS-IS. FRONT DRIVER AND PASS FLOOR PANS ARE GREAT, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VW THINGS SINCE TOPS WHERE LEAKY. CONVERTIBLE TOP FRAME IS MISSING, BUT I HAVE SEEN THEM LOCALLY FOR SALE USED FOR AROUND 300 DOLLARS AND IT IS EASY TO INSTALL SINCE IT IS REMOVABLE. I HAVE PLASTIC SIDE WINDOW BUT THEY NEED TO BE REDONE. FRONT LOOKS LIKE IN MAY HAVE BEEN HIT AND FIXED, COMMON PROBLEM. HAS COOL OG GAS HEATER BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT WORK OR KNOW IF IT WORKS. HAS OLDER SPEEDO WHICH LOOKS COOL AND WORKS BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE GAS GUAGE.WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, BRAKES NEED TO BE BLEAD BCS THEY ARE A LITTLE SOFT,FRONT HOOD LATCH LOCKS BUT NOT SO GOOD. THIS CAR IS GREAT FOR CALIFORNIA AND U CAN DRIVE LIKE IT IS AND JUST HAVE FUN. BUT IF U ARE LOOKING FOR A SHOW CAR THIS ONE IS NOT FOR YOU BCS IT WOULD NEED COMPLETE RESTORATION. PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP THE ENG,TRANS WAS REBUILT BUT I HAVE NO RECIPETS. PRIOR OWNER WAS A OLD MAN WHO DIED AND I BOUGHT CAR FROM HIS SON. CAR HAS REGISTRATION FROM CALI GOOD TILL 2009 AND A TITLE IN MY NAME BUT IT IS A SALVAGE TITLE.
