About this car
1974 Volkswagen Thing listed on Hemmings in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Asking price $16,000 on Hemmings.
What the photos show
- Cream paint looks even and fairly clean on the flat panels in this single front three-quarter view, with a black brush guard and an orange tow strap up front — no paint budget from this photo alone.
- The removable hardtop/side panels are fitted and the windows look clear, but panel seals and fit from other angles can't be judged — budget to check them in person.
- Black steel wheels and chunky tires look serviceable with tread showing — no immediate tire spend from this photo.
- Interior only glimpses through the glass; seats, dash and floors can't be judged — hold back money for an interior inspection.
- No engine bay photo in the sample — can't judge it, hold back money for that inspection.
- No underside photo in the sample — can't judge rust, and Things rust from underneath, so hold back money for a lift inspection.
Money: at $16,000 this one photo shows a straight-looking Thing, but interior, engine and underside are all must-see before the money is safe.
