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.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
