This 1974 Volkswagen Thing is one of approximately 400 Acapulco Edition examples that were produced in Mexico during a single production year, and it is finished in white with a light blue hood, rocker panels, and bumpers. Exterior details include a striped Surrey top, a fold-down windshield, running boards, and 14″ steel wheels with chrome covers, and the vehicle is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The cabin is outfitted with striped interior upholstery, an AM radio, and folding rear seats. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2023, this Acapulco Edition Type 181 is now offered with a tool kit and a clean Arizona title.
The vehicle is finished in white with a light blue hood, rocker panels, and bumpers, and a matching striped Surrey top is fitted to white tubular supports. Further details include a fold-down windshield, corrugated door panels, fender-mounted turn signals, dual side mirrors, and removable doors. Close-up photos of the paint, trim, and imperfections are presented in the gallery.
The 14″ steel wheels are finished in silver and wear polished hubcaps and 185/75 Duralon Radial white-stripe tires. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners.
The split front seats and folding rear seats are upholstered in white and blue striped vinyl, and rubber floor mats line the footwells. A push-button AM radio is installed below the dashboard.
The four-spoke steering wheel features a Wolfsburg crest and frames a 100-mph speedometer with suggested shift points and an inset fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 42k miles.
The air-cooled 1.6L flat-four (AM) is equipped with a single Solex carburetor and a Bosch ignition coil, and it was factory rated at 46 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery.
