Hello and Welcome. Featured here is my great running, partially restored 1982 VOLKSWAGEN RABBIT PICKUP TRUCK (CADDY) DIESEL. This is the deluxe version(LX model) which is a little more luxuriously appointed, and has a few more creature comforts than the base model vehicle, such as better cabin insulation and sound-deadening, 5-speed manual overdrive transmission, this is a highly desirable, hard to find vehicle that I'm not happy about selling. I spent more money on this truck than I could ever imagine recovering, but my loss is your gain!! This truck is fully loaded including a modern, powerful 1.9 Liter Diesel engine, factory A/C, CD Player, Sport Suspension, and Vented Front Disc Brakes.
I bought this truck in 2008 which is when most of the work was done, since that time it has been garage kept and driven under 100miles/year only during the summer months and never in the winter. This is an amazing little truck and is just a few steps away from a full restoration. Since buying this vehicle in 2008 i've had two kids and can no longer keep cash tied up in a "project" as wife calls it.

****NOTE**** MOST of the parts used in this restoration are genuine VW/Audi items, many of them are OEM, NOS. So, most of you know that genuine parts do NOT come cheap. I spared no expense ! There are no generic Pep Boys/Kragen parts used with the exception of maybe a nut or bolt or something extremely minor. So, if you want something nice, this is it!
This is a solid vehicle. The body is fairly nice and straight, the doors shut nice and tight, the bed is almost flawless, the tail-gate is straight and shuts nice, the dashboard is in good shape, the carpeting, door panels are all in very decent shape considering this truck is 33 years old! The seats are in good shape. All lights, instruments and horn work well. The AC could use a recharge but does blow cool, not cold. The new AM/FM/CD Player makes fairly nice sounds. The new 1.9 liter Diesel Engine (Engine Code AAZ) is smooth and quiet, partly due to its hydraulic lifters which never need adjusting, and much more powerful and torquey than the old stock 1.5 Diesel engine it replaced, (68HP/100ft.lbs torque vs 48HP 60ft.lbs torque)allows this truck to cruise the Interstate comfortably at 65 MPH in 5th gear all day long without even breaking a sweat! It goes up most hills without having to down-shift and is absolutely a pleasure to drive.
****NOTE**** The engine used here is a factory Turbo-Diesel (TD) Block, and in the current configuration puts out almost identical performance figures to the old and now obsolete 1.6TD engine which a lot of folks like to stick in these vehicles, it achieves an excellent Power-To-Weight Ratio for this particular vehicle, without the added hassles and cost of turbocharging. However, if you feel the need to, you could always bolt on a turbo to this engine as it is already capable of being turbocharged.
This Caddy steers straight, the 5-speed manual overdrive transmission w/all new linkage parts shifts crisply and smoothly, it accelerates and stops well, with the GTI Vented Rotors in front, and goes over bumps nice and quiet. It handles really well, with the help of GTI suspension bits which it has been upgraded to, including the addition of a factory GTI sway-bar in the front. Overall, this is a very nice vehicle, and, with proper maintenance and regular oil changes should last forever. These Rabbit Diesels are famous for longevity, reliability, and practicality, and at barely 150K miles on the chassis this one has a lot of life left in it. Almost everything on this vehicle which in my opinion needed repair or replacement has been discarded and was replaced with NEW OEM parts. That includes all the items listed above and maybe a few more items which I might have over-looked. This truck represents excellent value for your money. It looks sharp and runs great, and turns heads everywhere! NOT to mention that Diesel engines get great fuel mileage, at an average between 40-45 MPG, and, if you install a Bio-Diesel or WVO kit, you could be running this fine truck for next to nothing!
Please contact us for further details. Thank You. and Happy Bidding.
I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my knowledge and ability, but if I have unknowingly missed anything, I sincerely apologize.
Please remember that this is NOT a brand NEW vehicle. This vehicle is still 31 years old and may still have a few imperfections, however minor. Overall, this is still a very fine example of a by-gone era in automotive engineering.
****NOTE**** FOLKS, IT’S TRUE THERE ARE PLENTY OF SUCH VEHICLES OUT THERE IN THE $200-$5000 RANGE. THIS DOES NOT, HOWEVER, HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THEM. SO, IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A CHEAP BEATER TO DRIVE TO WORK THEN THIS TRUCK MOST DEFINITELY IS NOT IT. THIS IS WAY TOO NICE AND HAS WAY TOO MANY HOURS OF WORK PUT INTO IT, WHICH I CAN NEVER BE ADEQUATELY COMPENSATED FOR, AND TONS OF NEW PARTS INSTALLED AS LISTED ABOVE (YOU DO THE MATH!) SO PLEASE DO NOT INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE BY TRYING TO LOW-BALL US. SURELY YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ALL THIS STUFF COSTS………. THIS VEHICLE DOES HAVE PLENTY GOING FOR IT, SO PLEASE TRY TO BE REASONABLE AND BID ACCORDINGLY. THE RESERVE IS SET AT A PRETTY REASONABLE AMOUNT, WAY BELOW WHAT I HAVE ACTUALITY HAVE INVESTED INTO THIS FINE VEHICLE.
THIS VEHICLE COMES WITH A CLEAR NEW YORK TITLE AND CURRENT TAGS. THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD STRICTLY AS-IS, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU INTEND TO BUY. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT BY BIDDING ON THIS VEHICLE, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A LEGAL CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY. $1000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT TO BE RECEIVED AT CLOSE OF AUCTION, BALANCE TO BE RECEIVED IN FULL WITHIN 72 HOURS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION.
IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER, YOU ARE WELCOME TO FLY OR DRIVE IN AND DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BACK. IF YOU DECIDE TO HAVE IT SHIPPED TO YOU, I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DELIVER THIS VEHICLE TO THE SHIPPER OF YOUR CHOICE. PLEASE INFORM ME OF YOUR INTENTIONS AND I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF, THIS TRUCK DESERVES A GOOD HOME! WITH TWO KIDS NOW THIS TRUCK JUST DOESN'T GET THE KIND OF LOVE SHE DESERVES. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN...
Good luck with your bids, and Thank You for looking!

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Winterkorn remains CEO of Volkswagen's majority shareholder
Sun, Oct 4 2015Martin Winterkorn may have stepped down as the chief executive of Volkswagen in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal, but he's not out from under the company's large umbrella just yet. In fact, according to a report from Reuters, he still holds four top-level positions not only within the industrial giant's bureaucracy, but at the top of it. And one of those is as CEO of the company's largest shareholder. That holding company is Porsche SE, the investment arm of the Piech and Porsche families (Ferdinand Porsche's descendants) which holds over 50 percent of VW's shares. In 2008, Porsche SE acquired majority interest in the Volkswagen Group which in turn acquired Porsche the automaker – and placed VW's Winterkorn at the head of the executive board of the holding company. Though Winterkorn has resigned from his position as chairman of VW's management board, he has apparently yet to step down from running Porsche SE. That's not the only job that Winterkorn still retains in VW's senior management. He also continues to serve as chairman of Audi, as well as truck manufacturer Scania, and the new Truck & Bus GmbH into which Scania has been grouped together with Man. It remains unclear if or when Winterkorn might resign from those positions as well, or how his tenure in those posts might affect the company's effort to start over in the aftermath of the scandal in which it is currently embroiled. Also unclear, Reuters reports, is how much, exactly, Winterkorn will receive in compensation after having stepped down from his chair at the head of the VW executive board. His pension is reported at over $30 million, but he could be awarded a large severance package as well amounting to as much as two years' worth of his annual compensation, which amounted to around $18 million last year. Whether he receives the severance pay or not is expected to depend on whether his resignation is considered by the supervisory board to have been the result of his own missteps or independent of the situation that resulted in his resignation. One way or another, he's not likely to go poor anytime soon.
Volkswagen names Piech's nieces to supervisory board
Thu, Apr 30 2015Volkswagen was left with two vacancies on its supervisory board after Ferdinand Piech and his wife Ursula were forced out a few days ago, and now it's filled them. Intriguingly, however, both of the new directors are Piech's nieces. The most obvious connection is Julia Kuhn-Piech, a real-estate professional who has sat on the board of VW's Man truck subsidiary since last year. Kuhn-Piech, 34, is the daughter of Ferdinand's younger brother Hans-Michel Piech (and by extension, niece of the ousted chairman). The other seat is being filled by Dr. Louise Kiesling, 57, a designer and daughter of Ferdinand's late older sister Louise Daxer-Piech. Keeping track of the lineage of the Porsche-Piech clan can be confusing, particularly with so many Ferdinands and Louises, but it breaks down essentially as follows: All are descended from Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the eponymous automaker and credited as the designer of the original Volkswagen Beetle. Porsche had a son and a daughter, the latter being Louise Porsche, who married Anton Piech and had four children: Ernst, Louise (mother of incoming board member Louise Kiesling), Ferdinand (the ousted chairman) and Hans Michel, father of the other incoming board member Julia Kuhn-Piech and a board member of both the Volkswagen Group and Porsche SE as well. The Piech and Porsche families control Porsche SE, which holds 50.7 percent of shares in the Volkswagen Group, which in turn owns Porsche the automaker. With all that in mind, appointing other members of the Piech-Porsche clan to the board follows logically enough - particularly since other members of the family helped oust Ferdinand from the chairmanship in the first place. The nominations, incidentally, also help VW increase its proportion of female board members. The two incoming Piechs will join Annika Falkengren of Swedish bank SEB and Babette Frohlich of the same IG Metall union as the board's interim chairman Berthold Huber. Wolfsburg, 30 April 2015 Dr. Louise Kiesling and Ms. Julia Kuhn-Piech appointed new members of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG Upon application by the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, Dr. Louise Kiesling and Ms. Julia Kuhn-Piech were today appointed members of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG by Braunschweig Local Court with immediate effect. The appointments were made pursuant to Section 104 of the Aktiengesetz (German Stock Corporation Act) and were occasioned by the recent resignations of Prof. Ferdinand K.
