Description of 1988 Volkswagen Cabrio Karmann

Selling my 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet. I went to Vancouver BC a few months ago to buy this car and drove 7 hours straight back to Portland, it runs great! As chance would have it, another car came up for sale that I had to buy, hence this sale.
The car has a freshly rebuilt 2.0L ABA from a 96 GTI and a BUNCH of maintenance work. The new engine gives this Cabrio a lot more power than the factory 90hp 1.8L engine that was originally installed. Brand new top looks amazing and is water tight, includes the super rare, always missing tonneau cover! The interior is all original and well taken-care of with only some light wear on the driver's seat. No rust, body is in excellent shape with a few paint scuffs here and there. I looked for a loooong time to find one in this color, Sapphire Metallic, not easy to find. Being a Canadian model, the odometer is in KM, 248K kilometers equals about 146K miles. The car has a clean and clear Oregon title in my name.
Recent work within the past few months:
New top
Freshly rebuilt 2.0L ABA engine from a 96 GTI
All new gaskets and seals (head gasket and bolts, pan gasket, valve cover, stem seals cam/crank seals, etc)
New timing belt and tensioner

New fuel tank, fuel pumps, and fuel filter
New brake master cylinder and front calipers and full brake fluid flush

The car starts instantly, runs strong, shifts perfectly, brakes well and handles excellent. Shows great oil pressure, cool running temps and has a great exhaust note. A really nice build.
