1981 Volkswagan Rabbit Diesel Pick-up Truck Caddy on 2040-cars
Year:1981
Mileage:125638
Location:
|
You're looking at a 1981 Volkswagen rabbit caddy with a turbo charged diesel engine. Although there's still a few of these trucks around even though they were only imported in 1981 and 1982 there are very few that are in this condition. This truck spent most of it's life in Southern California before moving to Indiana and has always been stored inside during the winters. The turbocharger is out of a Jetta that was installed before I ever purchased the truck. Although it does decrease the fuel mileage by a small percent it really peps the truck up over the stock diesel engine.
This truck has a five speed transmission and has 125,638 miles.
This truck had new glow plugs and a new timing belt installed less than 1000 miles ago. It also had new shift linkage installed around that same time period. This truck is absolutely perfect mechanically and runs like a top. There's absolutely nothing on it that does not work properly besides the clock that for some reason just stopped working recently.
Although it will be tough to find another truck of this age in this condition it is not new and does have a minor flaws. As the photo shows the Driver seat could use some attention. The dash does not have any cracks in it which is almost unheard of on these trucks.
It has a matching set of Bridgestone tires on it that are probably close to 90% on tread.
This truck always puts a smile on my face when driving it as I love the fact that it costs almost nothing to drive.
I never thought I would end up selling this truck and figured I'd keep it till the day I died, but I have just inquired way too much stuff and I simply do not have time to take care of everything the way it is.
Please fill free to call me at 260-301-4455 with questions about this truck if you're seriously interested and I'd be happy to take the time to answer all of your questions and concerns.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
Winterkorn steps down as CEO of Porsche SE
Mon, Oct 19 2015Martin Winterkorn's departure from all things related to the Volkswagen Group is nearing completion. After having stepped down as chairman of the automaker's executive board nearly a month ago in the wake of the automaker's diesel emissions scandal, he's now leaving the direction of the company's principal shareholder, as well. After VW acquired Porsche (the automaker) several years ago, and in turn was principally acquired by Porsche (the holding company), the latter installed Winterkorn as its chief executive officer in order to cement ties between the parties. He's served as chairman of the executive board (German-speak for CEO) at Porsche Automobil Holding SE ever since, but he's now officially resigned from that position. In his place, the holding company has named Hans Dieter Potsch as its new chief exec. Potsch was also recently named as chairman of the supervisory board of the Volkswagen Group, having served until now as CFO of both VW AG and of Porsche SE. Winterkorn's principal successor at the helm of daily operations at VW is Matthias Muller, formerly CEO of the Porsche auto brand and now CEO of the entire VW group. The development brings Winterkorn's exit closer to completion. However the departing executive still, for the time being, remains at the head of group divisions Audi, Scania, and Truck & Bus GmbH. We don't expect it will be much longer, however, before he formally resigns from those chairmanships as well.
