1983 Volkswagen GTI

This 1983 model year GTI was sold new at Tom McGann Volkswagen on June 27, 1983 to a Guy and Dorthy Rodgers of Madison, WI. The car would remain in Wisconsin until 1990 when it was sold to their son Bruce Rodgers and the GTI was moved to Beaverton Oregon. Bruce would keep the car until 2016. The current owner, a VW collector purchased the car in 2020 and a cosmetic refresh was commissioned. The body was sanded and a complete respray in the original Black was performed, a new windshield was fitted along with new body side moldings and door seals. New GTI emblems were sourced and installed along with red pin striping that really compliments the red band on the grill. All the black trim was refinished and the hood had clear PPF film applied after the paint was cured. Inside the car was given a fresh OEM carpet kit from MK 1 Autohaus in the correct Cordovan Red and the headliner was recovered. The dash and door panels are in great shape as are the velour seats. The motor mounts were replaced in December of 2020. The tires have like new tread and are date coded 2017. Note: The odometer is currently non functioning. This is a great driving MK 1 GTI that can be used as a daily driver or taken to shows and just be enjoyed as a weekend toy.
