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.

World Car Awards finalists snub American-branded vehicles — except for Bronco
Fri, Feb 2 2024The list of World Car Awards has been whittled down to 10 finalists, but only one American brand — Ford — appears among the remaining nine carmakers for this yearÂ’s top award. The Bronco is there, and it also is balloted as a finalist in the design category. The other categories are performance car, urban car, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Car, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla. The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. The selection process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. If youÂ’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (four times), BMW (also four), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three). HereÂ’s the full listing.

Piech and Winterkorn still at odds about VW leadership plan
Wed, Apr 15 2015Volkswagen Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech (above, right) and CEO Martin Winterkorn (above, left) will be meeting in the coming days to discuss who the next leader of the Volkswagen Group will be. This, of course, comes after a report last Friday in Der Spiegel where Piech said he didn't want Winterkorn to be the automaker's next chairman. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of that conference room. As Automotive News reports, Winterkorn had been widely viewed as the probable replacement for the 77-year-old Piech, until last week, when the current chairman said he was keeping the CEO "at a distance," in the German paper. While Winterkorn confirmed to German media on Monday that he still had a job, analysts aren't sure what Piech's comments will mean for the 67-year-old CEO's future, with some indicating he may end up being a "lame duck" leader. According to AN, Piech doesn't think that Winterkorn has the vision to lead the sprawling Volkswagen Group empire, even though the current CEO has the support of a number of other VAG stakeholders. "Piech knows what he is doing and will assume that he can get the supervisory board to implement his decisions," former BMW executive turned analyst Helmut Becker told German media, AN reports. Winterkorn has just over 18 months left on his contract, while Piech's term has another two years left on it, meaning it will still be some time before we find out how the Volkswagen Group's leadership issues play out.
