Thoughts on potential german rabbit barn find?
oblique:
ORCoaster:
As nice as it appears from a distance, I would pass on it. The mileage is low and the interior is nice but....
Those pinch welds are failing and there is a lot of rust on the bottom of the doors, seams, and possibly the fenders. It just looks weak to me and I would think you would spend a lot of time getting the floor and such fixed only to have it be a continual rust bucket.
Take your saved dollars elsewhere. I say it is a blacker hole than most old Rabbits out there.
RustyCaddy:
Agree with Coaster about the car generally but the dash looks good and a rare find south of Canada.

Issue is 2dr german rabbits do not come up very often...at all. And i do not want a westy rabbit. This one is one of the better examples that i have seen in years, metal work taken into account
ORCoaster:
I read an article about how the 2 dr models sort of went away after the mid 90s and are novel now. People that collect them pay about 64% more for them. Now granted, this was an article on Buicks and Cadillacs so it might be much different than a VW.
I owned a two-door Rabbit, it was great for me as I needed the larger door to get in and out and I stripped out the back seat and made it all one level for transporting stuff rather than people.
You didn't give us a price on it but I would put somewhere around 2.5-3 K on that one based on miles and interior condition. I might be cheap/low on that but that is where I see it. If you really need another Rabbit and really want to put the time into it, then who are we to stop you. Rabbit Fever, I think it is called.
