My 1973 VW THING is from Huntington Beach, California now inWilmette Il for sale.
This car was flat bedded to Illinois and was restored and is my daily driving car when it is not raining. She is garage kept and doesn't like wet or cold weather because she is a CA girl.
She does however have a rare gas powered heater that is currently not hocked up.
She is being sold because I own 2 other vw's (the 74 vw bus gets the other garage spot). I love this car and will sell her if I get my price, which is firm! If you are not a serious buyer please don't call.
