Overview of 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet For Sale by Owner

The Volkswagen Golf is a well-known compact car that’s been around for over fifty years. The first Golf debuted in 1974, and the nameplate is now on its eighth generation. While the Golf didn’t quite make a splash in the United States, it’s a firm favorite across Western Europe, as a reliable, comfortable and no-nonsense family commuter. But did you know that a first-generation variant, called simply the Cabriolet, was sold in North America from 1985? Yes, that’s so, and we’ve got one for sale right now. Say Hi to this 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet from New Jersey that’s driven over 120,000 miles so far, but has got so much more vibe and energy to give. The current owner reports a host of mechanical refreshments as well, to ensure that this interesting piece of automobilia continues to run at its best.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a nice shade of red paint, this 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet exudes a persona of brightness. It’s a car that’s perfect for sunny days, where you can drop its black canvas top and go on a lovely drive. However, the top provides ample weather protection for use in rainy conditions too. This isn’t a car that needs to be relegated to the garage when the weather becomes wet. The interior of this 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet comes with new Recaro seats, a heating and ventilation system, and a Blaupunkt radio with cassette tape player as the major highlights. It’s a solid and purposeful place to be that doesn’t contain any unwanted fripperies or things that can easily go wrong. You’ve got a trio of auxiliary gauges lower down in the center console as well. Perhaps the only sticking point would be the limited trunk space, but you can use the rear seats as well.

Engine

Powering this 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet is a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine that uses Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. The car is front-wheel drive and you’re in charge of power delivery courtesy of a nice five-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports that the car has got new suspension, a new alternator, a new battery, a new water pump, a new timing belt, new front and rear brakes, and new valve gaskets. So, the car is basically ready for action, and could even be used on a regular basis if you desire.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
