Hello and thank you for looking at our auction. We are selling this 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit LX diesel pickup. This great little truck was donated to Fastrak Charity Auctions a 5o1 C-3 non-profit group located in sunny Mesa Arizona with the proceeds to benefit local families in need. This rare truck is in excellent condition inside and out with only 85,349 Box A Original miles! It has nice tan interior with minimal wear no rips or tears, AM/FM cassette stereo, manual transmission, 4 cylinder diesel engine (45 MPG), copper exterior paint, air conditioning (blows cool but not cold), tires are in good shape with a decent amount of tread. We have been told this was an extremely limited production vehicle and highly collectable. The VIN is 1V1LG817XCV031660. "Most folks won't remember that Volkswagen had an auto plant in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania back in the late 1970s and 1980s, where they VW built Rabbits for a market rabid (initially, at least) for econo-boxes. Legend has it that an American design team first penned the VW Rabbit Pickup to compete with the Japanese compact trucks streaming to our shores. The VW Rabbit Pickup was a unique small truck and produced great mileage figures for two key reasons. Unlike the competing Toyota Hi-Lux, Datsun (now Nissan), Mazda, Chevrolet Luv (Isuzu), and Ford Courier (Mazda), the Rabbit Pickup wasn't built on a true truck frame ... it was car based, in a manner somewhat similar to the Chevy El Camino. But it was the Rabbit Pickup's 1.6 liter diesel engine that made this little truck a penny pincher's delivery dream truck. While no speed demon, the 4-cylinder diesel put out plenty of grunt to propel the tiny light truck around town. Although production of the Rabbit Pickup at the Westmoreland VW Plant ceased in 1982, VW built pickups (with the Caddy badge) in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, through 1992. VW continues to build pickups in South Africa. The twenty-five year old VW Rabbit Pickup delivers nearly double the gas mileage of some of today's highest mileage pickups. Alas, VW stopped selling the wee pickup here in the States after selling through the domestically produced units. The company chose not to import the European- or South African-built pickups."
