Relist due to a nonpaying bidder. For sale is a 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible with 148K miles. This car needs work before you can drive it. It was sitting in a barn for many years and does still have a little of the barn smell. The windshield is cracked and there is rust in the gas tank from sitting. The tank will absolutely need to be cleaned out before you can drive it anwhere. It does have a new fuel pump. The converter has been removed and it has been straightpiped. It does need a new battery and I'm sure the rubber items (such as the tires, belts and hoses) are old and should be replaced. Body and frame, are pretty decent for the age. The top is useable, has one hole big enough that should be patched. The worst part is that the shifter has just started acting up and now it isnt going into reverse. The trans is fine, it just needs a new shift kit, which is inexpensive. The suspension is very solid, and the floorpans, and rocker panels underneath are all very solid. Feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks.
