1983 Volkswagen - Rabbit

Fahrzeugbeschreibung

Finished in Voodoo Blue with a black and blue interior. This Rabbit's factory-fitted 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine has been replaced by a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine sourced from a 2002 Jetta. The list of modifications reported by the seller also includes a Motoza Performance tune, SCAT Enterprises connecting rods, a FrankenTurbo F21T turbocharger kit, an aluminum radiator, Bosch EV 14 550cc fuel injectors, an "02J" 5-speed manual transmission, 15-inch Ronal R10 Turbo wheels, BC Racing coilovers, a manual steering rack, a Kamei body kit, a BBS rear spoiler, RECARO Profi SPG XL front seats, and a MOMO Montecarlo steering wheel.Unquestionably one of the most significant cars in Volkswagen's history, the first-generation Golf arrived in America as the Rabbit for 1976 to replace the Beetle. Early models were imported from Germany but later cars were built in Pennsylvania. 1983 brought the emblematic GTI, and sales in the United States ended in 1984, though the convertible variant remained in the Volkswagen range for another decade.Power comes from a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, rated at about 180 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque when left stock. The modifications could increase those figures, but a dyno sheet is not available. The engine spins the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
