A 1981 VW Jetta survivor has cropped up on an internet auction site showing just 4,400 miles on the clock. The 1.6-liter automatic features Diamond Silver
metallic paint, a rip-free black vinyl interior and the huge bumpers demanded by US regulations. Bids close on August 5 on the Bring a Trailer website. Despite SUVs continually eating up sales that would have once gone to traditional mass-market sedans, the VW Jetta survives into the 2025 model year.
But this being a North American car, it has the huge diving board bumpers that were necessary at the time to meet low-speed impact regulations and four square, sealed beam headlights, again to satisfy US regulators. And to satisfy American consumer tastes, it came with vinyl seats and air conditioning, a combo you wouldn’t find on a Jetta built for the German market. Choked by emissions hardware, the fuel-injected 1.6-liter four the ad claims this car has was rated at just 76 hp .
