Selling my 1982 VW Rabbit Pickup with the 1.6L diesel. This truck runs and drives great and has had a ton of maintenance completed recently. I bought it with the intention of keeping it long-term, but I simply don’t drive it enough.

Over the last couple of years I’ve worked through the mechanicals and fixed virtually every oil leak. The rear main seal was replaced a few weeks ago, which was the last leak to address.

Recent Maintenance
* Rear main seal
* Cam seal
* Crank seal
* New timing belt
* New glow plugs
* New brakes all the way around
* Tires have approximately 1,000 miles on them
* Oil leaks addressed and sorted

Truck Details:
* 1.6L diesel
* 143,000 miles
* Runs and drives excellent
* rear safari bubble window (great airflow and a unique feature)
* Clean title

Included with Sale:
* Several miscellaneous spare parts

What It Needs:
* Interior work 

No trades - message me if you have more questions
