  • 1980 VW Rabbit - Classically Modded.

    Man, my heart is heavy, my stomach feels a bit like a stone posting this, and I feel ill.

    I started this car many many years ago in 2007 for my wife. The car has taken a lot of work to get it where it is, and has gone through many changes and evolutions. Alas, having a kid, and changing priorities have encouraged me it is time to sell this car. This is not a decision that we took lightly, and I don't need to sell it, so insulting and lowball offers will be absolutely ignored. The car is nice, but not perfect. I encourage you to look through the extensive and very long build thread to see the work that was done. The car is soon to be featured in PVW magazine. There is a lot more work done here that has been forgotten. There is a lot of custom stuff that we did to make this all work well. It starts always, is very fast, and attracts more attention than my 911.

                Honestly this car is so clean I wouldn't even want it, I would feel like I have to detail it every day. That being said it is simply beautiful and by far the cleanest rabbit I've seen and I wish you the best of luck in your sale.
