Used Volkswagen Thing Parts
Modelled on a WWII staff vehicle, the Volkswagen Thing debuted in 1968 and was in production until 1980. The vehicle is something of a legend, and while not a common sight, VW Things are beloved by their owners, and often handed down in families. Things are hardly performance cars: 0 - 60 mph can take upwards of 30 seconds! Also, the car was only available as a stick which limited many American buyers. The fact is, the Thing was so ugly it was downright cute. The windshield folded and the doors not only detached, but were interchangeable. The youth market adored it, however it was priced substantially more than a Beetle and generally out of the entry level market.
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader deemed the Thing unsafe, and was successful in having the car pulled from the U.S. market. All told, about 25,000 were sold in the US, and surprisingly a large percentage of these rides are still registered today.
Affectionately referred to as the 'love child of a corrugated shipping container and a dumpster”, if you own one,chances are you want to keep its ugly chassis running as well as possible for as long as possible. Other than rust, the Thing has no enemies and is very inexpensive to run.
