This Volkswagen Golf & Rabbit got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit L is a two-door example that is finished in beige over tan leatherette upholstery and powered by a fuel-injected 1.7L inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The car is equipped with black-finished bumpers, 15″ ATS Cup wheels, front disc brakes, a heater, and a push-button AM/FM radio. Modifications reportedly include ST coilovers and an aftermarket exhaust system with a Borla muffler. The car spent time in multiple states before it was acquired by the current owner and relocated to Florida in October 2022. This Rabbit is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Carfax report and a clean Florida title in the owner’s name.
