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.
