1980 Volkswagen Other Description

This 1980 Dasher is a rare 2 door sunroof model acquired from the original owner in 2018 with 59,000 miles on the odometer. Power comes from a 1.6 Liter 4 Cyl FI engine and 4 speed manual transmission. Everything works as intended with the exception of air conditioning. The engine and transmission perform smooth with no issues. Body condition is excellent with original paint that shines nicely. The interior is clean with minimal wear, there is a small crack on the dash and damage to a corner of the rear seat. All rubber seals and trim are present with no cracking or deterioration.

Recent service includes replacing fluids and filters, timing belt, plugs, injector seals, wheel bearings, and rear shocks. The Dasher comes with clear title, recent service records and shop manual.

The cousin to the Audi Fox, it's one of VW's first water cooled models. This model is very rare, I haven't seen one in any condition for years. It was recently featured in Barn Finds, Bring a Trailer, German Cars for Sale, and Curbside Classics websites. Please feel free to contact me with questions and happy bidding!
