1 of 8
Vehicle 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.

Don't Be Fooled

  • When selling, do not put your home address in your ad.
  • To avoid scams, buy and sell with people you can meet locally, in person.
  • When meeting with someone you don't know, meet in a public place. If that's not possible, have a buddy with you. Also, carry a cell phone; if you feel unsafe, you can call a trusted friend, and stay on the line.
  • Never give out financial or private information like account numbers, PayPal login, or social security number.
  • If an offer sounds too good to be true, it is. Walk away!
