Volkswagen Rabbit MK1 VR6

Up for sale is a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit with a 12v VR6 swap. The car runs strong. pulls hard. shifts smooth and stops great. The car is completely rust free and always has been.                                                                                                                                                             History:  The car started life as a1981 Volkswagen Rabbit 1. 6L diesel which it is still titled as. (clean NY title in hand). The car is straight and rust free inside and out. (The perfect candidate for a build). A 12v Corrado with around 60. 00 miles was used for this build. The engine. gear box. radiator. brakes (4 wheel discs) hubs and axles were used for this build from the Corrado. So yes its 5 lug all the way around. This is not a euro wise or other kit. its all hand welded and braced for strength in all the right areas for proper support. The car handles the power! And could handle more if you decide need be. Anyway. stock engine and gear box. with completely programmable stand-alone engine management system. K+N with snorkel type intake. Techtonics header and Borla muffler. Adjustable fuel pressure regulator and map sensor.  Otherwise stock. Reliable and fun. what more can you ask for. The car was built to be fast and light. No unnecessary weight on this car. No A/C. and no heat.  That stuff weighs too much. Small things were removed too like those little cross braces under the hood and the rain tray. It has an eight gallon fuel cell. The battery was relocated to the trunk with battery shut-off switch externally mounted. 6 point roll cage welded in. 5 point harnesses for driver and passenger (no back seat). Schmidt 3 piece wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxes T1R tires with a sweet off set. (front:195/45R15. rear:205/45R15)  Adjustable coil-overs in all 4 corners. Upper and lower sway bars. Custom interior. fresh gloss black paint exterior. No dings. dents or other in paint. a quality job. Things we need to discuss: This is a hot-rod. it has no heat. no back seat etc. dont ask me if i have any of the original parts. This car was intended for race use but it never got around to making it to the track. so bumpers. lights. mirrors etc were added to pass inspection.  Im happy with the car except the guy that wired up the dash. It has the Auto-Meter comp racing guage set-up. The important ones work. the others well. not so much. Im pretty sure it would take an afternoon to iron out the simple electrical wiring issues. Its not a complicated dash. simple 2 wire set-up. It never stops me from enjoying the car. I have only needed the tach and temp. they both work.  Im available to talk to at 845-405-9316.  I prefer cash in person. I can help with shipping by making sure the car gets on the truck you send. or take it to a shipping location in a reasonable distance to item location.
