1982 VW Rabbit Convertible, 8K original miles, CA car since new - Mint!

1982 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible

With the exception of normal maintenance items, this car is completely original including tires. Only 8,169 original miles since new. Another Time Warp car without any patina.....this car looks, smells and feels like new.

All but about 250 miles were put on this car by its original owner who bought this car new in Carlsbad, CA. The car always resided in La Costa, CA since new and rarely saw daylight. Always stored indoors with a cover. 100% original white paint that is as new. Supposedly the original off white top has never been down. The top is mint and has no wrinkles. The factory recaro style sport seats look and feel like new. All accessories work perfectly including the radio and the clock.

The car has not been professionally detailed, yet the paint looks new and all exterior rubber is pliable as new. It shows no evidence of ever having a buffer on the paint. There is no evidence of sun damage or dry rot. There is no dirt or grime anywhere. There is some original cosmoline in the door jams and engine compartment.

Lots of original documents including the actual window sticker, original sales invoice and some dealer brochures. The original owner also started a log book with entries for each tank of fuel. The log book, records and carfax all support the low mileage.

All accessories including the air conditioning work perfectly. The car runs and drives as you would expect an 8K mile to run. Please look at the cadmium plated hardware in the door jams and engine compartment. Midwest cars didn't look this good when they were on the showroom floor. This car is a true testament as to how well preserved a garaged and covered California car can be. It is a detail away from setting the bar at an appropriate Concours event.

This is a car that shouldn't exist. I am always on the hunt for special low mileage original cars and I've never seen any Rabbit Convertible close to this one. It might be the best one in existence.
