This 1974 Volkswagen Thing is a true icon of open-air driving, finished in a bold red exterior that perfectly complements its fun, no-nonsense personality. With its unmistakable boxy styling, removable doors, and utilitarian roots, the Thing delivers a driving experience that's as unique today as it was when it first hit the road. Whether you're cruising beachside or heading to a local cars & coffee, this is the kind of vehicle that draws attention everywhere it goes.
Inside, the cabin features a vibrant orange interior paired with durable black vinyl seats, staying true to the Thing's rugged yet playful character. Everything is simple, functional, and easy to enjoy-just the way Volkswagen intended. Power comes from a reliable 1.6L flat-four engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, offering a classic, analog driving feel that's becoming harder to find.
This example has been under long-term ownership since 1997, showing pride of care and consistency over nearly three decades. As a two-owner vehicle, it carries a level of history and stewardship that's increasingly rare in classic Volkswagens. The convertible top has been replaced, and the plastic windows are new, making it ready to be enjoyed in a variety of conditions.
If you're looking for something different-something that blends vintage charm, simplicity, and pure fun-this Volkswagen Thing checks all the boxes.
