Author Topic: Feeler: FS: '81 rabbit pickup- good body, bad engine (Read 4155 times)

"81 1.6 n/a, 147K mi, California truck with no rust except on a couple of minor scrapes- quite straight. Very nice bed without rust or major dings- covered by topper most of it's life. Good tailgate.
Engine needs longblock- head is junk, block is questionable. PO had electrical issues which still need to be addressed (headlights don't work), non- stock instrument cluster, original speedo). slider rear window. fiberglass camper shell. interior rough. I'll post pictures as soon as I can and take the "Feeler" part out of the ad.
I'm thinking of asking $1200. Am I being greedy or realistic?
thanks!

Do you have any pics? Is it gas or diesel? TIA for your time.

1.6 n/a diesel, 4 speed- I took pictures yesterday and I should have a link to them by Sunday. This is a feeler on this board only, trying to get an idea of what I should ask. I am also interested in trading for a 4 door diesel rabbit in decent running condition.

Since you are in Denver, and I am North of 49, the price seems quite reasonable. If I were in your driveway, I would probably be offering a grand in cash, with the trailer hidden around the corner and driving one of my old cars so you felt like you were doing me a favour.

I should probably ask for $1500.[/img][/url]
