I'll be taking delivery of it next Saturday. It's a 1978 V-dub diesel Wabbit. It's AWESOME condition! Best one I've ever seen! It has 87k original miles, no dents, no rust (couple of fall out spot that will clean up), all new hoses, filters, even has the original AM radio in it! The little guy belong to an old man the passed away, then was given to a gal who drove it a few times, then it was given to the current guy I bought it from. I only paid $500.00 bucks for it. It was running before the battery went dead. Battery appears to be new. This Wabbit appears to have been garaged all of its life. The original glowplug sticker from VW is still intact on the windshield.

Watcha all think?

 

Looks like a great daily driver, you should see around 50-55 MPG out of that thing on the highway and 40-45 around town.

 

good find! put a little turbo on it to juice her up a bit

 

BOMB IT!!! DO IT, DO IT NOW!!!

 

I think we may have an old turbo laying around the shop from a 1.8 gasser. That would be awesome if I could install some how. The first BOMB will be to lose the muffler.

 

I love it, and maybe a stack through the hood

 

Oooooooo! Never thought of that!

I like the battery on the bumper....is that a counterweight? When ya going to hook up a sled?

 

That's actually to help keep the battery cool, plus, it's good for an extra 25hp! The tire on the back is actually a chute for the drags!
