Make me an offer!
Located 30 minutes from Chicago in Northwest Indiana. Item is being relisted due to purchased who didn't pay.
Thanks to a deer, y wife's car was recently totaled.I could manage to keep the truck, ut it's just easier to sell it to fund the new car we bought her.
• Caddy is an 81 body with 131k on it. MK1 GTI motor swapped and rebuilt less than 50k ago. Runs and sounds great. No knocking or off sounds from the motor. Much of the engine bay has been coated to prevent rust.
• Bed is in excellent shape.
• Undercarriage is great. Sills have been coated to preventrust.
• Body is in great shape. There are minor gripes, ut the truck is 35 years old. I cannot find any major rust, specially in the common areas (pillars, ills, ed, ain tray, oors).
•Neuspeed Throttle body
•Tinted windows
• Working A/C!
• MK1 Snowflake Rims
• Kamei front lower spoiler
• Paint is overall ingood shape.There is a swatch missing in the passenger pillar. Came off when I took the camper cap off. Luckily it's in a very easy place for a shop to repaint or a rattle can if you have the skill.
• Passed Indiana emissions 09/23/2015
• I took thecamper shell off since they are generally not favored. Listing it locally for $200, ut I will include with truck for an additional $125. It's low profile and has tinted windows. Painted to match the truck.
• Buy-it-now and I'll throw in a free Kenwood KAC-7202 2 Channel sub amp with all the necessary wiring and fuses.


These trucks are rare. Theyare especially rare in this condition. Rust free rolling shells go for $4,000. Every single thing works on this truck except for the analog clock.
Vehicle is being sold as-is. That doesn't mean it's junk, t just means it's been sitting in a garage for years with minimal drive time (no winters). The motor sounds excellent, here are no leaks, t shifts fine, assed emissions, nd everything works. If I were going to keep it I would update the brakes and suspension. That's it. Pretty standard for an old car.

Shipping is completely up to you. Arrange it however you like, t your expense. I drove it 2 hours from where I picked it up without issue. However, f you are transporting the car a long distance, always recommend a trailer.
