Performance & Mechanical Upgraded engine with chrome accents (lots of detail work – see photos) 4-wheel disc brakes for confident stopping power Upgraded suspension for improved handling and ride quality Short throw shifter – gears engage smoothly and precisely Runs and sounds excellent with noticeably more power than stock Condition & Features Every light and gauge works – including blinkers, gas gauge, and tachometer Solid under the hood (typical VW rust-prone areas addressed) Floors in great condition, with one area patched Interior and convertible top both in like-new condition Paint presents well with only minor wear visible up close, typical for these models Summary This 1974 VW Thing stands out from the rest thanks to its performance upgrades, reliable drivability, and clean presentation.
