    Only imported for two years, 73 and 74. Pretty rare. This one is a stellar example, that's original paint

    Have you seen the Seinfeld "Comedians in Cars" where he uses a "Thing"?

    I'm a big Seinfeld fan, a big car fan, and a big comedy fan... seems I can't go wrong!

    It’s a Volkswagen, right?

    A friend of mine in high school had one. I think she might still have it actually.

    I got a damn good deal IMO. I paid 4k. Very solid car, everything there, only surface rust. It looks like I need to do a lot of cleaning, completely redo the brakes, all new ignition system, and rebuild the carb. I should have it roadworthy for under a grand.

    It'll be verbose.

    My neighbor has a pristine one of those in yellow. He spent about 5 years working on it after he retired now he is afraid to drive it!

    Did some clean up, put a new gas tank in, cleaned the lines, and put an all new electronic ignition setup in The Thing today. Got it fired up, just idled it for a few seconds from putting gas straight in the carb. Still waiting on a few parts to finish up the fuel system.

    I have all new brakes on order to include a disc brake setup for the front. Once the brakes and fuel system are finished it should be roadworthy and ready to surprise the wife!
