This 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI is finished in Cashmere White over Midnight Blue cloth upholstery and powered by a replacement 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Modifications include a Neuspeed throttle body, a modified intake manifold, H&R springs, 15″ ATS Cup wheels, a stainless-steel Raceland header, and a Techtonics Tuning 2.25″ exhaust system with a Borla muffler. The car spent time in British Columbia prior to the seller’s 2015 acquisition and relocation to Nova Scotia, and it now shows under 225k kilometers (~140k miles).
The car is finished in Cashmere White (LE9C) and is equipped with a sunroof, a front spoiler, front vent windows, Rabbit-branded mud flaps, aftermarket H4 headlights, a rear wiper, and black wheel-arch trim, side moldings, pinstripes, and bumpers. The Carfax report lists a damage claim from November 2015, which the seller states was the result of repairs on the left side after it was side-swiped.
ATS Cup 15×7″ wheels are mounted with 205/50 Dunlop tires that were installed in May 2020. H&R springs are fitted at each corner, and the removed factory springs and 14″ ‘snowflake’ wheels are included in the sale.
The Midnight Blue interior features bolstered cloth seats with red striped inserts, and equipment include a golf ball shift knob, an Alpine cassette stereo, and crank windows. The seller states the center console clock was converted to an oil-pressure gauge in April 2021. A replacement gauge cluster bezel and blue dashboard faceplate with red pinstripes are included in the sale, along with a matching fabric dashboard cover and a spare front seat bolster pad.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-km/h speedometer and a tachometer. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates under 225k kilometers (~140k miles).
The seller states the 1.8-liter inline-four was replaced by Kraftwerx Auto of Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia in 2018. The replacement engine was subsequently modified with a Neuspeed throttle body, a modified intake manifold, and a stainless-steel Raceland header. The oil was most recently changed in April 2021.
Power is delivered to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle, which the seller states is modified with a Peloquins Transaxles 80-percent anti torque-steer shim kit. A Techtonics Tuning 2.25″ stainless-steel exhaust system with a Borla muffler is also fitted.
