Description

This 1974 Volkswagen Thing Acapulco Edition is one of approximately 400 examples ever produced by Volkswagen in Puebla, Mexico. The Volkswagen Type 181, often called "The Thing," has always been a fun summer car for drivers who like a cool and very unique driving experience. The 181 also led to one of the more uncommon models ever made by Volkswagen - the Acapulco Thing.

Finished in two-tone white and blue with a matching canvas roof and seats, this "Acapulco" is an exceptional collectible VW. Disc brakes were added for safety and drivability, suspension components were replaced, and the 4-speed manual transmission was rebuilt in 2020. The vehicle features a modern Bluetooth stereo and upgraded lighting. Included with the car are recent service records, an original owner's manual, and spare keys. An oil service was performed 5/2024 and the car runs and drives well. Freshly serviced and ready to enjoy, this Volkswagen Thing is a worthy addition to any collection.
