Find of the Day: 1980 Stanceworks Rabbit

Thanks to press trips and other nonsense, we’ve let Find of the Day languish for the past couple of weeks, but fear not FOTD is back and we’ve got a good’un: a 1980 VW Rabbit formerly featured on Performance VW and stanceworks.com.

This green stunner comes on refurbished BBS RS 070 wheels and suspended by H&R Ultra Lows, with a 3” shorted rear beam, and costume early strut mounts.

The effect is a visible, but tasteful amount of negative camber out back, which has become a point of contention lately. Regardless of how you feel about camber, though, this Rabbit is undeniably clean in almost every other detail.

Under the hood the engine has been given a thorough going over. From intake—Weber 45 carbs—to exit—Jetex stainless 2.5” exhaust—this Rabbit has been considered.

Inside, too, our Find of the Day is perfectly clean. With reupholstered stock seats, a custom headliner, a Nardi steering wheel and shift knob, and more this Rabbit is every bit the showcar it purports to be.

The interior is where one of the few problems with the Rabbit rears its head, though. Neither the gauges, nor the windshield wipers work.

If those problems don’t sound like too much for you, you can make @twofoteen, who’s asking for $13,000 obo, an offer.

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.
