This auction is for a 1981 VW Rabbit pickup truck. It has a 1.6 liter diesel engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. It drives very good to be a 33 year old truck. I have addressed and repaired almost all of the rust issues. Floor pan on driver's side, rocker panel on driver's side, and all other visible rust spots have been repaired and if not painted then it has been undercoated. Previous owner had engine work done on the head. I have completely painted the outside of the truck and the inside door panels, truck bed and completely undercoated the chassis. My mechanic has done the following: new head gaskets, adjusted the timing, all belts replaced, all new hoses, rebuilt injection pump (Bosch), installed new brake lines (made need a new vacuum pump in the very near future), installed new emergency brake cables, new battery, rebuilt starter, rebuilt alternator (Bosch), and have installed a new clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing. All brakes have been rebuilt.. I have driven the truck approximately 1000 miles with no smoke and good fuel mileage - 35 to 40 mpg if driven the speed limit (50 mpg if careful but no guarantee for a 33 year old truck). The 50 mpg is a EPA estimate in 1981 by VW, not me. If taken care of this truck will last a long time. The tires have 75 to 85% left on them. Most everything works but some minor things do not (remember - used truck.) I have an Alabama vintage tag which goes with the truck. This qualifies for historical discount on your auto insurance. Please feel free to call or text me (Murphree) at 256-366-1761. No warranty is expressed or implied. Truck is sold as is and where it is. $500 deposit at the end of the bidding. Customer must pick up in Florence, Alabama within 7 days after bid ends. Balance to be paid in cash.
