DIESEL/BIODIESEL

1981 VW Rabbit pickup, absolutely immaculate. No rust, no accidents. It had a Rabbit 5 speed manual conversion, so you can fly down the highway at 70 or 80 mph without any problems. People are amazed to see how easily it overpasses other modern vehicles on the highway. The motor was transplanted from a 1991 VW Jetta that was completely overhauled in 2011, it is the NON-turbo version. It runs on diesel or bio-diesel, yes this puppy runs all day and night on bio-diesel! A 10 gallon aluminum bio-diesel tank installed in bed as seen on pictures. Clutch, transmission shaft seal, axle seals, and transmission oil were all replaced in April 2013. Transmission fluid was replaced with full synthetic. Front struts were replaced in May 2013. Front bumper has tow bar attachment and tow bar is included in this sell. It was just freshly painted and sprayed on bed liner was applied a week ago. truck has absolutely no rust, CLEAN body. It is running strong and ready to go wherever you'd like. It's averaging around 50 mpg on either diesel or bio-diesel. the odometer does not work, so actual miles on odometer are not accurate, but speedometer works flawlessly. The seats came from a 2010 VW new Rabbit I'm listing this vehicle for my dad, since he's getting ready for retirement. My dad manufactures his own bio-diesel from used cooking oil and the cost to produce per gallon is around 54 cents a gallon. My dad is also available to install a bio-diesel production system for you if you are so inclined. You can message me for pricing. Vehicle is also for sale locally thus we reserve the right to end auction early. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message via E-bay. I will not reveal the reserve price, so please be considerate and don't ask. This truck is a RARE find and in this shape it's unheard of to be able to find. The asking price is way below what has been invested to make this classic a beauty and an earth friendly, green vehicle. thank you
