1983 Rabbit GTI in Royal Red, an original car except for the dealer installed Rial wheels and sunroof. Also a re-spray in the early 90s. All records and manuals are included from the day it was born. The car has 123,499 miles.
There is no rust in the usual areas, shock towers are excellent, rockers, floors and pinch welds all good as well. The engine compartment, hood underside and cowl look perfect - this GTI is fundamentally rust free. The only faults I can find are a few bubbles around the back-glass, the headliner has a sag and a soft dent in the roof (the previous owner dropped a cardboard box on it from a loft in storage) it is not bad. Interior is very nice, there is abrasion on the drivers side seat bolster, the rest of the interior is very nice.
This car itself has been stored in a heated warehouse for over 15 years, it has not been started (engine was pickled before storing and turned every few weeks by hand). The fuel system will need to be flushed and the vehicle mechanically inspected before attempting to start or drive. Please dont ask if you can put some gas in it and drive it home. This vehicle must be towed.
In addition, I am including a set of perfect and correct for the year Recaro seats with the very rare Recarophonic headrests. The seats are upholstered in the infamous Recaro - Recaro - Recaro progressive script that matches the red GTI interior perfectly. Also included is a 32 year collection of new old stock and used parts, many unique to the GTI: including a front spoiler, 5 speed transmission, bumpers, glass, console with gauges, wiring harnesses, dashboard, engine parts, factory fender flares, etc., enough parts to completely fill a large pick up truck. Everything has been carefully stored in a heated warehouse with the car for many years.
