1983 Jetta 1.6d 5 spd with grease car kit - Three Oaks, MI

Post by supersisu »

I've got an extra car out at a friends place in Three Oaks, Michigan. I've been working on it a bit, but I'm in Chicago and haven't had much time and my Caddy is running well. So I'm entertaining the idea of selling it, don't know much about its history. Clear title, still in p.o.'s name.

Details:
Trunk badge indicates turbodiesel, but it has a N.A. Paint (dark blue) okay except for hood and roof. Solid car, hardly any rust that I've found, hard to believe for an Indiana car. No visible crash damage or dents. Huge plastic bumpers pretty well faded. Seems to run okay, although I have not driven it much as it had a electrical ground problem due to p.o. wiring for greasecar kit. Blue cloth interior, white headliner, pretty good condition.

Greasecar kit partially installed, seems complete.
AC unit there, don't know condition.
160,000 miles? (I can't remember).

What I've done:
I just installed a new blower fan ($250!) don't have it wired up correctly yet.
Fixed broken climate control sliders.
Worked on electric.

Needs:
Windshield and windshield gasket.

What doesn't work:
Brake lights (it has the stupid pressure switches on the master cylinder, I want to swap for a pedal switch)
Temperature gauge

That's about it I think. I don't have any recent, detailed photos, I can send some I took when I bought it last January. I'll hopefully be getting out there sometime soon, to work on it and take more photos.

Asking $2000.

Thanks,
Erik

Still for sale. Fixed electric (bad ground), stuff seems to work well. Blower fan now works (didn't work when I put it in BECAUSE the p.o. pulled the fuse! Duh.) I've driven it around a bit, shifts hard maybe due to the fact that there are no bushings in the linkage, needs windshield, usually vent window problems, missing passenger side view mirror glass. Now that it's warmer I'll get back to it, replace fuel lines and such.
