Find of the Day: 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit L

H2O has come and gone, and as much as it pains me to admit it, Daylight Savings Time is just weeks away.  For those among us with solid garage space and a decent amount of ambition, this means that it’s time to get cracking on those winter projects.  And today’s Find of the Day would make for an impressive one, or simply be a turn-key driver, depending on the new owner’s preference.

84-rabbit-L-2

As a one-owner Washington DC-based car for the last 31 years, this Rabbit L could just be the ideal starting point for someone who is light on time, and not afraid to spend a few bucks to get an extremely clean car.  Currently available on Staten Island at Land Rover specialty shop Rover Classic, the 84,000 original mile Diesel-powered Rabbit L is one of the nicest examples we’ve seen, with clean paint and a completely crack-free dash.  Add to that the extensive maintenance performed at the dealer, and this Mk1 seems to not only be a solid starting point, but could also be just fine staying as-is.

84-rabbit-L-3

This Rabbit L is currently for sale on eBay Motors, at a Buy It Now price of $6,500.  Considering the condition and recent maintenance, it’s definitely worth the asking price.

Check out the full for sale ad here, and thanks to Rico for the tip!

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
