1980 GTi

ok first off please dont reply if you dont like my price or the way my car looks. i know i prob wont get many interest on this forum but i figure its worth a shot…

i just bought a house and close in august so the car needs to go to free up some cash for closing costs.

the car is a 1980 Rabbit GTi. the car built in germany for the canadian market and was originally in B.C. Canada then brought to seattle then i had it shipped across the country. i dont know how many of these there are in the states but i can guess that there isnt that many…

there is prob more i have done that im forgetting to mention but on to the pics…

now the bad:
car has been sitting for about a year. i cant get it to run smooth. it will either idle or run great top end. not both. im sure if you mess with the jetting or the timing computer enough it can be fixed. i however do haev everything to put it back to a cis fuel injected car if you wish. not to mention i will be loading the car up will all my spare mk1/mk2 parts since i no longer will have any use for em. so with that being said bring a trailer or tow dolly and finish what i started.

price is $3500 obo in us currency. i have well over 7k in this thing so as the saying goes my loss will be someones gain.

:beer: :thumbup:

Wow that looks great. Very cool

I thought this was sold man?

Either way, congrats on the house! Lets go riding before you get too busy with life :stuck_out_tongue:

Kick ass little old school VW!

This car is definitely nice and worth more than the asking price

cool! i like it…glws

Very, very cool car, free bump.

Holy shit. I’m sure this will sell, not here of course but VWvortex or another real auto enthusiast site.

The real question is how many clowns can fit into this thing?

Looks great for its age, GLWS!

noooo… i want it…

jesus that’s way less than i expected this to be if you sold it. good luck man and congrats on the house. :tup:

oh the temptation. I can’t believe it.

it breaks my heart to see this go.
lord knows im to poor to do anything about it leaving

I love it!

any idea on the HQ/TQ/weight?

glws.

Good seller, cool car.

thanks everyone. i am also sad to see it go but at the same time being a home owner isnt going to be cheap.

hmm
headquarters: erie county
torque: if i had to guesstimate around 160
weight: 1850 ish

that interior is rad as fuck, and yes, rad is probably the only fitting word :tup:

i <3 this car
glws walker
if i could scrape up some extra cash id buy this in a heartbeat

I have always had a little gay spot in my heart for these cars. This is seriously one badass ride and if i wasnt looking for a DD id probably be very interested.

I may have a co worker interested who has many of these cars…I will let you know.
