1981 Vw Rabbit Caddy Pickup Truck Diesel Volkswagen Caddy New 1.9l on 2040-cars
Kailua Kona, Hawaii, United States
|
Bought off Ebay a year and 1/2 ago for $7250 + 1500 in fees and shipping. Seller said "like new" rebuilt top bottom side to side in and out. Had shipped to Hawaii bottom end of engine had been blown. Over the past year I have had put professionally a new out of a box VW 1.9L diesel long block, clutch, hoses, door handles, wet okole seat covers, etc etc...totaling over the purchase price having around 16K in it. The paint was pretty good upon arrival, I would say it was a rust free California truck, but being in Hawaii the past year and 1/2 the post on passanger side and a few other spots need attention. The expense(2-3K) here in Hawai'i for a decent paint job in addition to going back to mainland for a bit has me entertaining the possibilities of letting her go. Starts right up 1st time every time, gets over 50MPG and people just love the thing everywhere I go. Just change the oil every so often and dirve this thing another 250K miles...I have spared no expense and addressed all issues profesionally. I would suggest only the body I would like to see taken care of in the next year or 2. I'm including shipping in the final bid on PASHA Hawaii....that's 1100 value anywhere on the west coast of the USA please look at their website to find ports and dates of travel. Also would include inner island shipping, and local pickup fine as well. Please Ebay message me your phone number if you would like to buy this incredible efficient antique vw truck. I can take my time and answer any ?'s you have. I have been putting pictures here for people: http://surfing.smugmug.com/Other/1981-VW-Rabbit-19-Diesel/38769851_StrbRD#!i=3205150890&k=fxbntN9 ive been doing my very worst try to capture the poorest pics to be as fair and honest as possible have a look and request freely any other views, i'll be photoing the recipts and also shooting some more on a sunny day soon. |

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
