The Volkswagen thing was spawned by a German runabout military vehicle known as the “Kubelwagen”…Kubel meaning “bucket” and Wagen meaning “Car”. A name, which is quite fitting for the design. The Thing was only called “The Thing” in North America where it went on sale in 1973; elsewhere it was known as the Trekker, the Safari or simply Type 181. Spartan by design, the Thing became quite popular in the US market as it appealed especially to the youth. The thing cost only $3150.00 dollars making it affordable to the American public. To this day, the quirky Thing, is recognizable and popular among motoring enthusiasts.

The car spent some time in California and was mechanically went through before making its way to Michigan. Once in Michigan it spent some time in Pentwater Michigan at a Lake house and used only in nice weather.

The car presents well in white with a blue and white vinyl interior and has a bit of an Acapulco look. The Thing fires right up and handles as it should. The VW Thing is a proven vehicle. Their uniqueness, simplicity and utility have fallen into favor among auto enthusiasts and collectors alike. This is a great vehicle for investment or to keep at a seasonal home. No wrong decision here.
