1981 Vw Rabbit Diesel Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Florence, Alabama, United States
|
This auction is for a 1981 VW Rabbit pickup truck. It has a 1.6 liter diesel engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. It drives very good to be a 33 year old truck. I have addressed and repaired almost all of the rust issues. Floor pan on driver's side, rocker panel on driver's side, and all other visible rust spots have been repaired and if not painted then it has been undercoated. Previous owner had engine work done on the head. I have completely painted the outside of the truck and the inside door panels, truck bed and completely undercoated the chassis. My mechanic has done the following: new head gaskets, adjusted the timing, all belts replaced, all new hoses, rebuilt injection pump (Bosch), installed new brake lines (made need a new vacuum pump in the very near future), installed new emergency brake cables, new battery, rebuilt starter, rebuilt alternator (Bosch), and have installed a new clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing. All brakes have been rebuilt.. I have driven the truck approximately 1000 miles with no smoke and good fuel mileage - 35 to 40 mpg if driven the speed limit (50 mpg if careful but no guarantee for a 33 year old truck). The 50 mpg is a EPA estimate in 1981 by VW, not me. If taken care of this truck will last a long time. The tires have 75 to 85% left on them. Most everything works but some minor things do not (remember - used truck.) I have an Alabama vintage tag which goes with the truck. This qualifies for historical discount on your auto insurance. Please feel free to call or text me (Murphree) at 256-366-1761. No warranty is expressed or implied. Truck is sold as is and where it is. $500 deposit at the end of the bidding. Customer must pick up in Florence, Alabama within 7 days after bid ends. Balance to be paid in cash.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
