i've found a buyer for my 83 vw rabbit convertible and by the VIN # this car was manufactured in Pennsylvania


Red flag. Not one single Rabbit Convertible (or Cabriolet) was manufactured in Pennsylvania. All of them were built at the Karmann plant in Germany. Ergo, if this is a genuine convertible (as opposed to a tin-top having its roof hacked off), it has had a VIN swap done. Check the VIN stamped into the rain tray.
