This is my 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI 


It has been my project for over a year now and I have to part with it. 

Here's a little about it: I have replaced many many parts over the past year.

It is the 1.8 CIS motor.

New front performance brake pads
New Battery
New Starter
New front rotors
New Rear brake drums
New Rear brake Shoes
New Rear brake Cylinders
New Rear Wheel Bearings 
BMW 14' bottlecap wheels 
Raceland Headers
Currently Has mk2 cabrio seats
HID headlights
Timing Belt
Serpintine Belt
Spark Plugs
New Distributor rotor and cap
Neuspeed front brace
Neuspeed rear brace
Momo Steering Wheel
Oil Pan gasket
Strut mounts
New front motor mount and  trans mount and bracket
New Front Axels
New Gas Tank <---Cost like $400+

It has JOM front Coilovers
Rear Koni Yellow's with adjustable height and h&r springs

And Much Much More


I have paperwork for many of these parts and the sales receipt for the gas tank swap in which i spent over $400 in labor + the price of the part. 

There are some cons to the car:
There is an exhaust leak by the headers because one of the 8 header bolts is stripped, it needs a tap and die with a new screw to close the exhaust leak
There is oil leaking from somewhere - I think it is the valve cover gasket
Paint is not perfect, there is some overspray in places and is not a highly professional job. However, it still does look pretty good. 
Driver door only opens from inside, needs a little fixing on the cable maybe.
No air conditioning
No power steering
Back hatch does not open from outside, only from inside. 
O2 sensor is broken
Cat is not installed and exhaust currently is headers to straight pipe with one muffler, 
Mileage reads 53,799 but does not roll any longer. 
It is hard sometimes to get into first gear, it needs some tweaking with the shift linkage. All you have to do is learn to get the feel of it or just first go into second gear and push straight up on the shifter to find first gear more easily. 

I am including some extra parts I have lying around the garage with this sale. Such as the stock rear bench, some dash parts, fuses and relays, rear JOM coilvers.


The motor on this GTI runs strong and is pretty fast. This is one of the most fun cars I have EVER drove. It has such a go KART feel.


This car can be driven daily if needed but it will require a little bit more work to get it perfect. 

It handles really well and gets a bunch of 'thumbs up' and turns heads whenever I drive it anywhere.

It currently has inexpensive daily tires on it. They have lots of tread, around 80%...


Also email with any questions. 
My phone number is 818 648 7085


I have the registration. I have the PINK slip, with a clear title. 


I am going to ask for a $200 deposit within 24 hours of wining the auction
 I would like the car to be picked up within 7 days of winning the auction. 
I am willing to ship if you pay for the shipping, I am not going to pay for it or organize shipping, that will be up to the buyer. I am willing to take it somewhere to send it off for shipping.
I am willing to meet up in Southern California for pickup --  I am located near Los Angeles.
The car will be sold as is, I cannot give a warranty on the car. I am not a car dealer. I am a private seller and this has been my weekend car / fun project for over a year now.


On Aug-10-13 at 22:48:16 PDT, seller added the following information:

I am uploading a video of the GTI onto YouTube within the next 24 hours...


Also, there are a few (smaller than a penny size) rust points around the windshield trim area. There are a few paint chips, the paint is overall 7/10

VW to pay $1B in settlement with US government over V6 diesels

Tue, Dec 20 2016

Volkswagen and the US government have come to a settlement for the civil claims against the automaker's 3.0-liter, diesel V6s. Over 83,000 V6 TDI-powered models are currently prowling US roads in violation of emissions laws. The settlement allows VW to recall over 75 percent of its cheating V6 diesels – about 63,000 units – and bring them into compliance. These represent newer VW Touaregs, Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7s, and Porsche Cayennes built between 2013 and 2016. According to the company, the recall will bring these so-called Generation Two engines up to emissions specs, provided the EPA and CARB okay the modifications. Should the regulators say no to VW's tweaks, the company will buy back or terminate leases with the affected owners. For older V6 TDIs built between 2009 and 2012, Volkswagen will do broadly the same thing, only in reverse. It will lead with buy backs of older Touaregs and Q7s – the only vehicles the company sold with the earlier engines – but could offer fixes if EPA/CARB give the okay. As part of its agreement over the emissions-cheating V6s, Volkswagen will contribute $225 million to the "environmental remediation trust" it established as part of its settlement over cheating 2.0-liter TDIs. VW is also on the hook for $25 million with CARB, bringing the total for the six-cylinder part of its emissions cheating scandal to around $1 billion, Automotive News reports. This initial agreement still needs approval from US District Court Judge Charles Breyer. Related Video:

UAW Falls 87 Votes Short Of Major Victory In South

Sat, Feb 15 2014

Just 87 votes at the Volkswagen plant in Tennessee separated the United Auto Workers union from what would have been its first successful organization of workers at a foreign automaker in the South. Instead of celebrating a potential watershed moment for labor politics in the region, UAW supporters were left crestfallen by the 712-626 vote against union representation in the election that ended Friday night. The result stunned many labor experts who expected a UAW win because Volkswagen tacitly endorsed the union and even allowed organizers into the Chattanooga factory to make sales pitches. The loss is a major setback for the UAW's effort to make inroads in the growing South, where foreign automakers have 14 assembly plants, eight built in the past decade, said Kristin Dziczek, director of the labor and industry group at the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank in Michigan. "If this was going to work anywhere, this is where it was going to work," she said of the Volkswagen vote. Organizing a Southern plant is so crucial to the union that UAW President Bob King told workers in a speech that the union has no long-term future without it. The loss means the union remains largely quarantined with the Detroit Three in the Midwest and Northeast. Many viewed VW as the union's best chance to gain a crucial foothold in the South because other automakers have not been as welcoming as Volkswagen. Labor interests make up half of the supervisory board at VW in Germany, and they questioned why the Chattanooga plant is the company's only major factory worldwide without formal worker representation. VW wanted a German-style "works council" in Chattanooga to give employees a say over working conditions. The company says U.S. law won't allow it without an independent union. In Chattanooga, the union faced stern opposition from Republican politicians who warned that a UAW victory would chase away other automakers who might come to the region. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee was the most vocal opponent, saying that he was told that VW would soon announce plans to build a new SUV in Chattanooga if workers rejected the union. That was later denied by a VW executive, who said the union vote had no bearing on expansion decisions. Other state politicians threatened to cut off state incentives for the plant to expand if the union was approved.

Tanner Foust and Scott Speed get VW internships

Thu, May 28 2015

Tanner Foust and Scott Speed both already have quite impressive motorsport resumes. The former is a rallycross and drifting champ, and the latter counts two years in Formula One with Toro Rosso among his accomplishments. Still, it's never too late for a career change. In a humorous new ad for Volkswagen, the professional racers take on the duties of summer interns at a dealership. The commercial is timed with the kickoff of the 2015 Global Rallycross Championship season in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on May 30 and 31. Speed and Foust are both racing in Beetle GRCs for the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team. This year's Bug is even more potent than last year, though. It now packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to produce 553 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, versus the previous 1.6-liter turbo four with to 544 hp and 387 lb-ft. The racer can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in just two seconds thanks in part to low gearing and all-wheel drive. One of the Andretti team Beetles might look a little different, too. Foust is sticking with his Rockstar Energy Drink sponsorship, but Speed gets an animalistic livery for Shark Week to celebrate the annual event from the Discovery Channel. Check out both of the cars in the gallery below or the ad in the video above. SCOTT SPEED TO RACE SHARK WEEK THEMED BEETLE GRC IN RED BULL GLOBAL RALLYCROSS SEASON OPENER Scott Speed and Tanner Foust will contest the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship in Beetle GRCs, starting this weekend in Fort Lauderdale Herndon, VA — The Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team begins its second full season of racing this weekend in Ft. Lauderdale. The team will again be battling with two Beetle GRC race cars, which debuted in the closing races of 2014. As Volkswagen enters its fourth consecutive year as a presenting sponsor of Discovery Channel's SHARK WEEK, Scott Speed will concurrently begin the Red Bull Global Rallycross season behind the wheel of the No. 41 SHARK WEEK Volkswagen Beetle GRC, wrapped for SHARK WEEK, which begins on July 5th. "My father raced with No. 41 in karts when I was younger so it's pretty special to me," said Speed. "I have only had the option to choose the No. 41 twice in my career and was able to win championships each time. Hopefully it continues to bring me luck in 2015!" New this year, the team has chosen to change the engine specification from the Beetle GRC race cars that ran in 2014.
