1982 volkswagen rabbit convertible Cabriolet base 1.7l

Selling this 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit convertible 25,000 mile barn find. This car was purchased from the original owner by the owner of a Porsche/BMW repair shop who went through the fuel system, got it running and put about 3,000 miles on it - then I purchased and restored it to new condition. The paint was in rough shape, and there were a few dents from barn storage. There was zero rust - see underside photos. The windshield was removed and the car was completely re-painted. The windshield and chrome trim were replaced and the bumper blades replaced. The convertible top is original as is the boot and both are in excellent condition. The interior is in nice shape - the speakers were all replaced and a new stereo fitted. I also installed new custom floor mats. Mechanically, everything works as it should. The timing belt was replaced as were the fluids, oil and filter. A new muffler was also fitted. The car will come with newly refinished “snowflakes” and new tires. The original refinished “manhole cover” wheels and new tires are also available if desired. Looking over the car confirms the mileage. The original factory stickers are still on many of the engine parts and oil pan. It looked like it had never been stored outside as under the rain tray looked clean and like new. The car starts, runs, shifts and drives like new. The original sales receipt and owners manual are included as well.
