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

1982 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup 5-Speed

Sold for $9,800 on 11/4/22

This 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit pickup is said to have received a refurbishment in 2020 before being acquired by the seller in February 2022. The truck is finished in beige over red vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 1.7-liter inline-four mated to a retrofitted five-speed manual transaxle. Additional equipment includes a rear step bumper, 14” alloy wheels, a black Skid Gard removable bed mat, a digital radio, air conditioning, and front disc brakes with cross-drilled and slotted rotors. This Rabbit pickup is now offered with repair manuals, a Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in beige and is said to have received a repaint in 2020 following rust repairs in the bed. Exterior features include black side mirrors, a polished front bumper with black end caps, a black grille, a silver-painted diamond-plate rear step bumper, and a black Skid Gard removable bed mat. The Carfax report shows an accident with another vehicle occurred in March 2002 and resulted in “minor” damage to the front-left.

Factory Rabbit GTI “snowflake” 14″ alloy wheels wear VW-branded center caps and are mounted with Toyo tires. The front struts are said to have been replaced under current ownership. Stopping power is provided by front discs with cross-drilled and slotted rotors as well as rear drum brakes.

The cabin features seats that are trimmed in vinyl upholstery that was reportedly re-dyed red under previous ownership. Matching carpeting lines the floors, and the truck is fitted with air conditioning and a digital radio.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts an 85-mph speedometer that is reported to be inoperable as well as an analog clock with inset fuel level and coolant temperature gauges. Additional instrumentation is mounted ahead of the shifter. The six-digit odometer is also inoperable and shows 150k miles. A mileage inconsistency from November 2021 is noted on the Carfax report. Total mileage is unknown.

The 1.7-liter inline-four sends power to the front wheels through a retrofitted five-speed manual transaxle. During current ownership, the warm-up regulator and starter are said to have been replaced and the fuel distributor was reportedly rebuilt.

Additional underside images are presented in the gallery.

The Carfax report shows the aforementioned accident and mileage inconsistency as well as history in Georgia, Colorado, and Arizona from an initial update in May 1989.
