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. 38 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.
