1983 VW Rabbit

Listed for $18,500Sold
1983 VW Rabbit

Overview

Powered by a modern 1.8L turbocharged VW motor, this Rabbit has been built from the motor out to be both reliable and engaging. A completely custom build, every mechanical detail points to creating a more exciting driving experience, and we think it all comes together well and would love to give it a go. We are fond of the period-correct Ronal Turbo wheels and the Voodoo Blue finish, which gives a nod to its family ties in Stuttgart.
