Up for sale is my 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit C. I purchased this car from the original owner in October 2008 in Athens, Ohio. Actual mileage was 24,448. The original owner is a retired Math Professor at Ohio University. This was the first and only car he ever owned. In the 5 1/2 years I’ve owned the car I’ve logged only a few thousand miles taking it to shows, events, etc. It’s almost an automatic for a car show trophy! From time to time, clean, rare, and/or low mileage early watercooled VW’s come out from the woodwork. However, you almost never see a car in cleaner, more original condition than this. Pictures do not do this car justice. This is an Original Unrestored Vehicle with Original Miles! 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit C Place of Assembly: Wolfsburg, Germany Engine: 1.5L 8v Transmission: 4 speed manual Paint: L13A (Dakota Beige) Unique Features: - Original paint! Several factory paint runs can be found, which was common among early Rabbits/Golfs - 100% Original and untouched interior! - Original assembly plant sticker is still in the front windshield! - Original VW/Audi windshield wipers! - Original VW/Audi Alternator belt - Original Motorola Alternator - Genuine VW roof rack - Original paint code sticker and untouched spare tire in trunk! - Still has the (now rare) CIS adjustment screw plug! The below items were replaced with OEM components due to acquiring some patina over the years. Basically, I’m overly picky and I wanted the normal “wear items” to match the beauty of the rest of the car.
- New Boge OE gas shocks. Original rears had acquired more patina than I liked, so the front rebuildable hydraulic shocks were replaced with gas inserts to match. The original springs & spring hats were also freshly powdercoated black. - New brake fluid - New e-barke cables - New front control arms & ball joints - Original wheels refurbished - 4 New matching tires
Over the past couple years I’ve toyed with the idea of selling the car, and even listed it. However, I’ve decided to thin my “toy cars” and the time has finally come to let her go. If you have additional questions, or would like to view the car in the Tampa area prior to bidding, please message, email, or call me to discuss. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
I’m willing to assist the buyer with shipping arrangements. For international buyers, I can deliver the car to the Florida shipping port of your choice for a reasonable fee.

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
