Friday Thing

Not much new in the Thing classifieds, but this has resurfaced, with two links, and at a much more reasonable price of $3600  $3800 Dude really needs to stop unposting/reposting

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Today's Thing

Asking $3000? Why do I have to be so short on cash?

Holy crap, this is a steal.

"I am a VW collector in Janesville Wisconsin.The City of Janesville Passed a New Law per Jan.11,2010 having you get rid of any Classic cars or trucks unless they run and drive and must have plates.They say you can hide them from us,then we will not mess with you for now.As a result of this Law that was passed we are selling a VW Thing that has been inside for 20 years.It does have the original engine,all parts are original.The engine is not seized up and I believe it is a duel port 1600.The best engine in my opinion.Plan on going through this part of history as I am sure it needs restoration. Call for a showing Mail back if intrested with your number."

BTW, this Ebay Thing is undervalued currently as well.

Morning Things

It's Friday morning and it's been a busy work week, so here is my morning diversion!

This dusty Thing is in Laramie, Wyoming, a great place, and it's $4900. Dude, Hose it off and ask $5500. I'd get it on a lift, media blast the pan, and quadruple coat it. This is a bargain.

This is: clean and $5500, clean sells better. Both Things are a good deal, buyers! A lot closer to me, if I rob a bank or win a lottery soon. I could use a trip to Laramie, though....

oooh, i've been watching this one, he was asking $4200 on craigslist, now BO. I wish I had cash!

Uhm, No. Not ever.

Here's a new entry , at $4500 a deal as well (I should check my lottery ticket to see if I won). 

Tuesday June 25th add-on: asking $750, a cheapie that needs a lot of stuff:

and there's this from a Forum on thesamba

"So I have an friend of the family that has a bunch of VW's in a field here in MO and I called him out of the blue and asked what ll he has, he said he has a "Thing sitting out there with a rebuilt engine, doors were taken off and stored inside with top, some body work and where you sit is rusted, but overall in good condition and would like to get $500 for it (my dad says he'll probably give it to me if I wanted it that bad)". I have never worked on cars and know very little but think it would be fun to spend a lot of money on a car and get away from the misses for a little. I have looked at the "what to look for thread" and its very helpful and when I go look at it this weekend I will keep it in mind but I wanted to see if there was anything else to ask on the car to help get some info. Also like the title says, what did you pay for your thing and what condition is it in.

 Here is what he had. Let me know your thoughts 

 
 
 
 

He has the doors and top under cover and say theyre in good shape. Let me know what you think"

"...he ended up saying he would take $100 for it but I do not want to get in that deep with something."

The consensus is that it's not worth it (with one or two that disagree) but that's right in my price range....
