What is this THING!? 1973 Volkswagen “THING” | Snohomish Car Show

There were so many awesome classics at the Snohomish Car Show in Washington state, but one THING stood out to us. Known to the rest of the world as a VW Safari, this ’73 THING is a serious romper. With removable roof, doors, side curtains, and windshield it’s a fun open-air vintage ride. Then Dennis finds a really cool 1930 Mercury Roadster Pickup with all the classic hot rod touches, and a Merc’d-out Ford 347 Stroker motor. Next up, one of the greatest grocery-getters of all time; a 1968 Ford Country Squire LTD Wagon. This wood-paneled behemoth is a pretty rare find, especially with the original 428 Thunderbird V8. We also found a beautifully restored 1938 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan, hiding a dressed up ’77 403 Olds engine. What a classy hot rod! Dennis finishes it off with a little-bitty family car that you might only ever see in this show. This rare 1966 Triumph Sports 1200 convertible is almost completely original, and so is its “whopping” 1147cc engine.

The only thing better than a trip to the Pacific North West is traveling there for a car show! The Snohomosh Car Show was such a blast – you’re going to enjoy this episode.
