Dealer Description

This exceptionally original 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup LX Diesel is a standout example that was until recently part of the personal collection of Bill Miller from Carlisle Productions. Showing just 17,000 miles on the odometer. You can see him refer to this as the "nicest rabbit in the world" in a video here. This truck benefits from recent servicing including an oil change, and holds a clean Carfax with no reported accidents. It includes all factory badges, a rust-free bed and exterior and presents as a low-mileage, well-preserved example of a rare US-market Rabbit Diesel pickup. The Rabbit Pickup (a North American variant of the Golf Mk1-based Caddy) was built at Volkswagen’s Westmoreland, Pennsylvania plant from 1979 to 1984. Its diesel variant and five-speed gearbox offered superior fuel economy, making it a rare find today. This Rabbit Pickup is perfect for collectors, vintage utility fans, or anyone looking to own a unique piece of VW heritage.
