The Type 181 was developed for the West German Army as a successor to the DKW Munga, reviving the basic Kübelwagen design. It is a two-wheel-drive, four-door convertible, sold in the US and Canada as the Thing for 1973 and 1974. Rear swing axles with reduction gearing from the split-screen Transporter were used until 1973. It came with a four-speed manual. This one is a 1973 Volkswagen Thing in orange over a black interior.
