Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1600cc air cooled flat 4. Pan replaced 9000 miles ago, new ball joints, tie rods, shocks, rebuilt transmission and electrics. Body and paint as one would expect on a machine designed for off the road. Looks well maintained and presented. Brought to the auction by Seattles Park Place.

Market commentary

The high bid of $9,400 seemed sufficient to us, maybe the dealer will reappear at Monterey with this car during the August silly season. The THING makes a nice consolation prize for a bidder that insists on coming home with a car.
