Albany, New York

We are selling 1 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit. The car is a two owner, not repainted, 34 thousand mile original car. My friend bought the car from the original owners estate where it had sat in a wood floor barn for almost 20 years. The car was then completely serviced...every fuel system component was removed and cleaned, Injection pump and injectors rebuilt by a professional diesel shop. The timing belt, water pump and associated parts were all replaced and the timing set correctly. It was converted to an 02A 5 speed transmission for much better drivability especially on the highway! The car runs and drives great, needs nothing mechanically. It has been averaging over 50 MPG on the highway. It does have some rust around the edges, however there is absolutely no structural issues. The interior is original and in very good shape except the split in the driver seat bolster. It has been used as a summer only commuter for the last two years and has performed flawlessly. Please ask any questions, Please come look at it and take it for a drive. Also comes with two almost perfect german front fenders. Thank you for the interest.
