Not really made in Mexico. They were made in Germany and sent to Mexico for final assembly.

Didn't know that. 👍

Nice car. Always liked the look of Things. That fold down seat/table is a sweet feature.

@SladesVWBeetle 3 ай бұрын

Yes, very cool car. I agree. I thought that fold down seat table was amazing. I didn’t even know they did that.

Definitely a smooth running engine. Awesome to hear about all the details and see the military parts on it. Really cool 😎

Things are pretty cool. I've seen a white one and an orange one in my neighborhood last summer. They seem very fun to drive especially in summer.

@SladesVWBeetle 3 ай бұрын

I must admit it was a blast driving it. I didn’t do it too long. I didn’t want to bore anyone. I remember seeing one when I was very young. At that point it was probably six years old. Now I realize how rare they are.

Great video, Nice car Evan! Didn’t know you had so many VWs…. Nice collection

@SladesVWBeetle 3 ай бұрын

Yes, there’s a video on the channel, which is much longer. What a great collection.

Hey brother! Thanks so much for chiming in. I don’t know enough about them, but it was definitely a lot of fun.

These cars are so cool and so rare. I wish people restored them properly; I’ve seen so many butchered up examples. The floor pans are the same as a Ghia; wider. Surprised me on the Mexico manufacture; I would’ve thought Germany. In Mexico they call them Safari. I believe they also had a skid plate under the engine. They are the modern version of the German Kübelwagen from WW2. Love your neck of the woods, beautiful place.

Thank you for chiming in. I truly appreciate that. I definitely do not know enough about them. But with a cool car.

I had a 74 Thing as my first car in high school. I paid $300 for it in 1986. It was found in a field with no top on it. I had a 72 Super Beetle that never got on the road but used the front seats to put in the Thing. That car was the most fun I ever had in a car. I am surprised you guys didn't cover the easy door removal. Anyway, great video and that brought me back to a better time in my life.

1:46 How do you Agitate your rattle cans? Hot water? Reciprocating saw? Power drill? Or just leave them alone with @HeathersHaven and it’ll happen naturally.

@SladesVWBeetle 3 ай бұрын

lol!!! I usually take one of the bath towels from Heather, so get them hot water and wrap it around the can lol 😂

@ralphmans 3 ай бұрын

For some reason it looks a bit longer than a Beetle.

@SladesVWBeetle 3 ай бұрын

I really don’t know, that would be interesting. I should do some measurements out of curiosity.

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle 3 ай бұрын

25 years ago, the vw things were cheap to buy. Now they go for more than a bug. Regret not buying one years ago.😕

@Aux1Dub 3 ай бұрын

Same here. Another one was IH Scout, when I was young nobody wanted those and practically gave them away.

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle 3 ай бұрын

@Aux1Dub IH scouts were rare up here in New England. Never saw one on the road.

I can’t believe where the prices went on them. Very cool cars, but now they are way out of my league when it comes the money.

@headstonesandhistory 3 ай бұрын

Still fairly easy to find a solid driver for 10-12k. That's cheap in my opinion

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle 3 ай бұрын

@@headstonesandhistory I can buy a better vintage convertible for that kind of money.
