I bought this truck a few years ago and spent about a year building it into what it is
It get 30mpg and handles amazing , vw rabbits are notorious for good handling and these rare trucks have the befit of a bed
I actually built this truck to be my daily commuter with being a construction manager I needed something that I can put my tools in and get good mpg but I also commute threw canyons and this truck was the perfect fit
it’s a bare bones built truck , no a/c, no heater, it’s paint is cool but it’s not a show car
but it is unique, rare, fast, and built to be dependable
I get compliments on it everywhere I go and it’s very fun to drive.
I am actually losing money on this but moving out of state and looking for a quick sale
I’ve seen trucks of this equal sell for 8-10k
I’m open to trades of possible rv , travel trailers, 4×4 and diesels
