This 1974 Volkswagen Thing is claimed to be an Acapulco Edition and was fitted with a rebuilt 1,835cc flat-four and a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle under current ownership. The vehicle is finished in white and blue over color-coordinated upholstery, and the motor features a Weber 32/36 carburetor, a PerTronix Flame-Thrower ignition coil, an electric fuel pump, and a fire suppression system. Additional equipment includes a black convertible soft top, side curtains, a powder-coated and padded roll cage, a fold-down windshield, removable doors, 14″ wheels, three-point front seatbelts, and rear lap belts. This Type 181 was acquired by the seller in 2019 and is now offered with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in white with blue accents and features a black convertible soft top, side curtains, dual side mirrors, a powder-coated and padded roll cage, a fold-down windshield, removable doors, and fender-mounted turn signals. The seller notes that a front-end tow-bar reinforcement is fitted. There are some imperfections and areas of corrosion around the exterior.

The 14″ wheels are mounted with General Grabber tires that the seller notes were installed about three years ago. Braking is provided by drums at all four corners. KYB dampers have been installed, according to the seller.

The seats are trimmed in blue and white, and interior features include a heater, a defroster, three-point front seatbelts, and rear lap belts.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.

The seller notes that the air-cooled flat-four displaces 1,835cc and was rebuilt and installed under current ownership. The motor is said to be equipped with a Weber 32/36 carburetor, an 009 distributor, a PerTronix Flame-Thrower ignition coil, an electric fuel pump, and a fire suppression system.

Power is routed through a four-speed manual transaxle that is said to have been rebuilt under current ownership. The seller notes that the CV joints and front shift linkage bushing have been replaced. Repairs are said to have been performed to the battery pan area and front-left wheel well.
