It has to be diesel to qualify - you know of older diesel rabbits? If so I will buy it/them. Floor pans are easy to weld in...I just need a welder.
Wait - you have two accounts??

'77 was the first year for diesel Rabbits.
Check out swallowtail.org for pics/info on the early Rabbits and prototypes.
I bought a early '78 diesel 2 door from the owner of that site. Unbelieveable clean car. CA blue plate 2 owner car, L model with deluxe interior and sunroof. Drove it home to Whitefish from San Francisco. 55 mph and 50 mpg.
Sold it to Averagedude who painted it and subsequently had a PVW feature. Kind of regret that one....
