This 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup spent time in Washington State prior to the selling dealer’s November 2021 acquisition, and subsequent work included installing Solowerks front coilovers along with replacing the fuel filter, glow plug relay, muffler, door panels, tires, and front brake pads and rotors. Powered by a 1.6-liter diesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, the truck is finished in silver over gray vinyl upholstery. Additional equipment includes a GTI-style chin spoiler, 13″ alloy wheels, KYB rear shocks, polyurethane front control arm bushings, and a Pioneer CD stereo. This Rabbit pickup is now offered at no reserve in Oregon with a Haynes workshop manual, service records, a decorative surfboard, a Carfax report, and a clean Washington State title.

The selling dealer states that the body was refinished in silver with black tailgate lettering and lower-body Rabbit Diesel graphics under previous ownership. Additional exterior details include a rear step bumper, LX and diesel badging, and a GTI-style duckbill chin spoiler. The windshield wiper motor and relay were replaced in August 2023. Per the selling dealer, the taillights and turn signals have been replaced. Exterior blemishes include bubbling paint near the seams on the left B-pillar and roof as well as an area of rust-through on the windshield cowl.

Gray-finished 13″ alloy wheels wear VW-branded center caps and were mounted with 175/70 GT Radial tires in January 2022. A steel spare wheel with a Doral SDL 80 tire is stowed below the bed. The truck has been fitted with Solowerks adjustable front coilovers, KYB Gas-A-Just rear shocks, and polyurethane front control arm bushings. Braking is from front discs and rear drums, the former of which received replacement pads and rotors in January 2022.

The cab houses bucket seats upholstered in gray vinyl, which are complemented by TMI door panels that were installed under current ownership. The truck is equipped with a Pioneer CD stereo. Photos show cracked outer seat trim on the driver’s seat, detached trim on the passenger seat, and a hole in the outer bolster of the driver’s seatback. The right-side window lift rail was replaced in August 2023.

The four-spoke steering wheel wears a GTI-branded horn pad and sits ahead of an 85-mph speedometer as well as a clock with inset gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 186k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added by the selling dealer. The fuel level gauge is inoperative. Total mileage is unknown.

The 1.6-liter diesel inline-four was factory rated at 52 horsepower and 71 lb-ft of torque. The glow plug relay and the fuel filter were replaced in August 2023, at which time the oil was changed.

Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The muffler and the tailpipe were replaced in March 2022.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Washington State from its initial entry in August 1998. A gap in reporting is visible from April 2007 and May 2017.
