    And it's the same color as my Challenge car. If only I had money and garage space. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-VW-Rabbit-Diesel-Hatch-51k-Miles-Excellent-Con...

    Years ago I came across an elderly Italian gentleman trying to sell his Diesel Mk1 for $1500, in about that condition. I pooh-poohed it at the time, thinking diesel = slow = boring...and now it'd be about the perfect car for me .

    I hope "mint" refers to the color.

    Hard to believe an Illinois Rabbit would be so rust free. But aren't those rust bubbles just below the windshield rubber?
