Amishman gets a 1973 Thing

So, I owned a 1973 Thing last year and foolishly sold it. So, did the deed and found another one that fit my wants and needs and it arrived today from Washington. I am now the proud owner of a very stock yellow 1973 Thing. This one has very little rust. No cancers and only some surface related rust underside. Amazingly has the original stock exhaust and even came with the stock rubber foot mats. Soft-top is original but not great but still usable. Has hard-top also. Supposed to be original mileage at less than 50K. Impossible to say for sure but from the looks rust wise, this Thing was fairly well taken care of. Gears switching is so smooth in the limited drive I did. Engine drips seem minimal but has some.

Anyway, here she is.

Nice I love me a thing, somebody that works in my building has 2, and randomly drives em to work and parks around the same area I do. (guessing it's the same person at least) have never seen both on the same day and never got to speak to the person.
