This is painful for me. I'm buying a house, and should get rid of one car.
This rabbit came from arizona a couple years ago. It has a little over 60,000km's. The body is excellent. The interior is well used, a couple cracks on the dash, and features scirocco 16v seats. plain jane am/fm tape deck. It had A/C (can't imagine how slow it must have been with the A/C running on a hot desert day!) which has been removed, but the center dash vents are great for distributing heat around the cabin.
It's running a 1.5L now, with a tweaked injection pump. Runs and drives great, but it's an older engine, and usually needs the block heater for cold mornings. This old honey would be sweet with a fresh TD engine! It has Boge gas shocks, eibach pro kit springs and 195/60r14 potenza RE930's (with enough rubber for one more summer). This car corners on rails! It runs and drives great, the transmission shifts like butter. It has euro A-pillar fairings, and H4 headlights. I'd like to see it used as a summer driven only, hot-rod TD project car. I can help the buyer a great deal to this end. But a swap to gas isn't that bad. Main point: I'd hate to see it used as a beater, because it's not a beater.
These old wabbits are getting hard to find in such good shape.
I'm looking for the best offer over $1000 cdn.

She looks sooooooooooo clean, wow... :shock:
If we would be in June, I'd take her from you... :cry:
-
i'd rather someone from here bought it. i've already turned down a couple people wanting to drive it for the winter.
-
Really sweet car. Trying to talk my girlfriend into it. ;) (not for me, but for her!) Is it a 4-speed or 5-speed? Think she'd make it 366 miles to Mt. Vernon, OH? (after my 430 mile road trip in my unstable-at-best Scirocco, I have little doubt!)
Too bad you have to rid of it. I hope she finds a good home.

it's a five speed. I have no doubt that it could make the haul. It drives great once you get it fired up. :wink:
-
I wish I were a bit more flush right now, I'd snap it up. I've got a fresh 1.9TD that would fit right in...

Drive it in the winter? The shame...
-
For the record, I wouldn't drive her in winter, the passat will be winter equiped (studded tires, espar, the works), it would be a second car, 2 seasons and a half a year. :wink:
-
come and get her.
-
I'll be out of school in may.... :cry:
Only then I'll have the space (ie garage) to have 2 cars... :D
Until then, the passat is miserably parked on the street, downtown Montreal... :x

Curious, is this an American rabbit, or a german one? I'd love to have it too, but reality tells me I don't need any more toys...............
There's a 1.6TD in need of a rebuild out in my toolbox(45 foot van body)......................
-
German rabbits have different fenders and round headlights. :wink:
-
i'm going to say it's yankee. Had those funky door mounted seatbelts too.
-
seems to me there's some stuff that won't fit back and forth, windows maybe? my daily driver is a german 84 jetta (gas 1.7) and the body is starting to go (Not worth trying to save!)
-
possibly, but i bet most of it does. the old honey took to canadian seats and belts no problem.
-
hmmm
could you send more pics to [email protected]

it's easy to switch a gas to a diesel, and pretty near impossible to switch a diesel to a gas. So if you are planning on putting your 1.7 gas engine in that rabbit I would say forget it.
-
diesel to gas isn't impossible. It's a little more wiring intensive though. People do it all the time, usually with diesel caddies to gasser setups.
-
Wouldn't bother. The 1.7 runs okay, but after buying the 92 with the 1.6TD, I'd rather go diesel. Make a great parts car for another A1 though. everything is pretty good (except the floor, especially under the driver's seat!) Tranny, clutch, suspension, tires and wheels to no end, new muffler under warranty a couple of weeks ago. You get the picture. Thought about going diesel in this car, but the body's not worth the effort. Need another A1, but don't think that rabbit should be a winterbeater!

Hey, where are my pics, dont sell it to any morons on vortex until i can see it!!!!!
-
ill trade u my 15 inch subwoofer for it. the subwoofer is worth 1500 large.
-

-

-
up

Any luck? This is a sharp car!

This rabbit came from arizona a couple years ago. It has a little over 60,000km's.
If it's from Arizona the odometer should read in miles, not kilometers. If it really has only 60,000 kms on it (~37,000 miles), then it's a real find!

car's sold now. :(
