    I have an 1980 mountain green caddy with a swapped 1.6na diesel. Have original window sticker and warranty book from Pete Lovely VW. I am 3rd owner of this truck. Super clean paint for 32 year old paint. Looking for something my tall ass can fit in a little better. I daily this and super reliable. Gets around 50mpg consistently. Would love another diesel, but well see what's out there.

    I would do corrado seats but it being all original I would hate to see it with incorrect seats, although seats are an easy swap
    Afternoon bump

    I'm looking at your caddy, interested in a 1990 geo metro (convertable/red) or 1971 bug? Let me know what you think.

    I don't do Chevys, and maybe a bug. Depends on condition or cash on top

    More info and maybe some pictures on that mk2
    I'm looking for anything mk1-mk3 maybe Audi, not really anything in particular. Just something with more room and space and what ever catches my fancy. Hard to find a clean truck like this, so I won't just give it up for nothing.

    I also have a Gem Top canopy that can go with the truck. Also would like to mention this truck does have 1 rust spot issue on a pillar which I have out a coat of primer on, otherwise rust free everywhere else.




    I have the arm rest for the door card

    About the interior, doesn't have stock seats but a set of stock seats and a non cracked dash and this thing would be awesome. Any questions or pictures let me know.

    Since its my daily driver and only car but I've had so many PM's from people asking if I would just sell it out right I would only consider offers in the $4,000 price range. I would have to sell it and immediately find another car to drive. No need to sell it which is why my price is set where it's at being that I only have
    Weekends off I would be in time crunch to find a car.

    would love to trade you my 92 golf. recaros, bilstein/h&r suspension. 180k.



    but after looking at all the import BS, it looks like wayyyy to much of a pain in the ass for both us. good luck with the sale of that beauty.
