For Sale: 1976 Volkswagen Rabbit in Savannah, Georgia

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1976 Volkswagen Rabbit (the Rabbit was the US-market designation for the first-generation Golf, the successor to the Type 1 Beetle). Finished in the terrific original color of Acapulco Blue, this Rabbit has been upgraded with many GTI components by its present enthusiast owner (but is offered without the GTI price premium). Paint quality is excellent over a straight and rust-free body. Windshield and all seals are new. 13-inch "Tarantula" wheels are wearing correct Pirelli CN36 Cinturato tires. Upgrades include GTI flares and front spoiler, plus a Euro grille with Carello headlights (and supplemental driving lights wired to the high beam switch via relay).

Interior is believed to be all original, aside from a set of new floor mats and an upgraded GTI steering wheel and shift knob. No sunroof, no radio, no frills - just a hot hatch that's fun to drive (and looks great doing it). A bolt of new plaid upholstery is included (see photo of trunk) should the next owner wish to re-cover the seats.

Under the hood is a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Within the last year and 1,000 miles this Rabbit saw extensive service including a new Weber 32/36 carburetor with electric choke, new belts, complete tune-up with new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, oil service and more. Mileage, at just over 70k, is believed original. Runs and drives great. A Mk1 Golf (or Rabbit) is becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in this color and condition.
