Volkswagen Golf (1985)
for sale

Price: US $4,900.00

Description:

For your consideration is truly rare and sought after classic. One of European most successful models and a true icon that has been recognized and respected around the world. Just as in 2015, 1985 WV Golf was the winner of Motor Trend Car of the Year. There are very few left or available for sale. More than likely, none as complete in such condition without any aftermarket parts and/or alternations and modifications.
I am selling the car due to my move across the nation for a job.
Some details: 1985 VW Golf Custom, 1.8L 8-Valve engine. 5 speed manual transmission. Approximately 168, 000. Manufactured in Volkswagen Westmoreland Assembly, 35 miles south of Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. This is one of the early productions. Manufactured: November 1984. Based on history check and my research the car had: 0 reported accidents, 3 reported owners and all of its life spent in Olympia, Washington.
The car is solid with no rust.
Featured car has original Cashmere White (LE9C) exterior paint and most rare brown interior with tweeted seats that are in best condition you will find. Dash, instruments, door cards, roof liner, carpet are all original. All the locks function including gas cap. Every light lens (head, bumper turn signals, side markers, tail) on this car are original HELLA (made in Germany). Also, included: original Owner’s Manual and Bentley repair/maintenance manual. Original spare, tools pouch, jack, etc. Original stickers under the hood, door jambs, trunk and gas door.
This Golf is absolute pleasure to drive. It is quick, sounds great, reliable and responsive. Engine and transmission are strong.
I owned this lovely car for about 4 years. I absolutely enjoy driving it. The car has never left me stranded and I feel very safe and confident driving it. I would dare to drive it across the nation.
Car sits on beautiful, rare vintage set of BBS Mahle (made in Germany) with original caps. 13 inch (standard size for 1985 Golf). Set of 4 tires have under 1, 000 miles on them.
Included with the car, basically impossible to find THULE 305 roof rack with locks and key. As a bonus, I am also including all the spare parts I have collected over the years: Alternator, set of door handles with keys, windshield washer reservoir, wipers, rain gutters, seals, gaskets, bulbs, trim, sway bar, left/right steering tie rods, timing belt, valve cover gasket, etc. (hundreds of dollars worth).
99% of this car functions properly. Some of the things that do not function, but are easily fixable. High beam light (incorrect connection when grill was upgraded). Fuel gage (disconnected floater in the gas tank). Odometer (most of the time works; however, occasionally gets stuck). Stereo (Original, turns on but there are no speakers or wiring in the car, so I am not sure. I never bothered to look into it, I enjoy the sound of engine and exhaust. Heat works great - AC is cool, but not cold. This is all I encountered and can think of.
Parts that are not original to the car: Front grill was upgraded to European spec quad lights. Front bumper and Left side fender were replaced with identical white fender from a different Golf.
List of maintenance, repairs, added parts I have done to the car (I will include some receipts):
GTI Grill GTI Front bumper with Hella turn signals Right fender Bulbs Hella side markers Starter Alternator BBS Mahle rims and center caps New tires 4 wheel flares Spark plugs Spark plug wires Distributor rotor and cap New oil pan and gasket Oil drain plug New Battery Bosch Oil filter Mann Air filter THULE 305 roof rack Front control arms with bushings Ball joints Front brakes Rubber exhaust hangers Wiper blade rubber Wheel lug bolts Brake pedal pad Front Left/Right CV Axles Wheel bearings AC compressor belt Alternator belt Driver window regulator 2 window cranks 2 interior door handles Accordion shifter boot Fluids (Oil, Coolant, Windshield washer) Bosch fuel filter Vacuum hoses Miscellaneous interior trim pieces Windshield water hoses Lastly, when I purchased the car, it came with a bill of sale and no title. I contacted DMV in Washington state and they sent me a letter stating that the title has been destroyed, since required parts were no longer manufactured, insurance had to write it off as totaled. After, I replaced all the damaged parts, the car went through safety inspection by Florida DVM and Florida Department of Highway Safety and the car was issued rebuilt title. See last photo (picture of the damage).
I have dozens of detailed pictures. Please contact me with any questions or requests for additional photos before bidding. Vehicle is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if necessary. I welcome inspections and test drives.
