1984 vw gti

Road & Track editor Larry Webster is selling his

I think Larry's is priced a bit too high, but these cars are definitely on the rise and becoming fairly rare and collectable, so I hope he gets close to his asking price for my sake LOL! I looked at several other cars in the $4-$5k range, and it seemed they all had over 150k miles with torn front seats and needed work. I was just lucky to find this car at a price that seemed fair to me for what it is. It needs a few minor mechanical repairs due to sitting for so long, but I plan to have it whipped into shape shortly.

A little high, sure. If it's a minty midwest car though, I could see it happening. I'm goddamn pissed that the BMW E30's are slowly creeping up in price. Everybody seems to want one, and goddamnit, so do I! You can spend $30k on a restored M3 these days. Fuck, I need to start saving my pennies...

I had one of these little go carts back in the mid 90's and loved it, and have been looking for another one the last couple years for a summer toy. I found this clean '84 with 57k miles that had sat in a pole barn for 20 years and had to have it. It is rust free with nice original paint and flawless factory Recaro interior, sunroof, close ratio 5 speed, and a cool old school BAE turbo kit which was installed just after the original owner bought the car new.

Those diesel Rabbits get stupid good fuel mileage. A friend of mine bought one a couple years ago for $800 and has been driving the shit out of it since. All hes had to do was regular maintenance.

oh man that looks awesome. I was half contemplating on getting an older gti to make into a roadcourse car. just something about the simple 80s and 90s cars that is awesome.

I haven't had any time to drive this yet, since it had a large exhaust leak where the turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. I finished up the repairs today and finally got to do a little tuning, and I'm pretty impressed for not having an intercooler on the car. VERY fun to drive at 10 psi! Time to get the underhood area cleaned up a bit.

I wonder how much boost she will take with an intercooler. The more I keep visiting this thread, the more I want some classic Kraut in the driveway

The same amount, just for a longer period of time (cut down the heat). Any idea how this is tuned?
