By adding a can opener, Volkswagen turned the Rabbit into a classic car of the 1980s. Like the modern GTI, the Rabbit Roadster had a 1.8-liter engine that produced 90 horsepower, making it quick and maneuverable. This one has only 37K miles on it so that you can live out your synth-pop dreams. Since the first Volkswagen Rabbit (in some countries, the first-generation Golf) was a hatchback, it wasn’t a natural choice for a convertible body style. VW was able to do it with a roll bar that had a basket handle and a folded cloth top stacked behind the back seat. Back in 1979, when this tiny roadster with room for four first came out, there was nothing better for having fun in the sun. It’s a Wolfsburg version, and it has 13-inch alloy wheels and sports seats. The seat still looks great, even though it has a few small scratches. For the time, the choices are pretty good, with things like air conditioning, cruise control, and even an aftermarket Craig graphic equalizer. It was supposed to go off like a synth-pop bomb. Volkswagen stopped making the Beetle convertible in 2019, which means that the company doesn’t make any more cars like this. What if Wolfsburg chose to use the electric ID’s skateboard chassis to build a small electric car drop? 2. It would add some fun to the company’s range and do better than even the old microbus ID. Buzz can do it. Of course, for now, you can remember how exciting it was to be a kid in the 1980s. This car sold on BaT for $26,900 two years ago. For those of you who missed out on getting a cabriolet when your hair was longer than your goals, this is your second chance. The sale will end on April 24.
