This convertible was produced in a three-month period during the 1974 model year and originally designed for the Las Brisas Hotel in Acapulco, Mexico. Titled as a 1974 VOLK SAF. Long Description: This factory-produced Acapulco Edition is not a standard Thing with a paint scheme. Acapulco Editions were produced in a three-month period only during the 1974 model year. Originally designed for the Las Brisas Hotel in Acapulco, Mexico, the Thing was only distributed in America in 1973 and 1974. This Volkswagen Thing was stripped down and given a top-to-bottom professional restoration. Solid chassis and is factory correct in every way. It wears the Acapulco color combination of Aqua Blue and Cream, along with a new corresponding color-matching interior and safari top. The Thing was originally marketed as an instant dune buggy, as all four doors remove easily and the windshield folds down onto the hood. This car features all the unique Acapulco options, namely side steps with the factory-threaded mounting holes, surrey top and roof-attachment hardware on the cowl, wide whitewall tires, striped interior and exterior upholstery accents, along with matching Coco mats. It is powered by a 1600cc engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. It wears all the correct Volkswagen decals in every specific factory location. **TITLED AS 1974 VOLK SAF** Date: 10/21/2022 12:00 PM Video 1: Video 2: Video 3: Terms and conditions CONTRACTS There is no rescission, revocation, or canceling of bids.
