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.

1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod LT1

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
$55,000

There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.
