If ever there was a project hellish enough to merit actual purchase consideration based solely on the novelty of the car in question, this Volkswagen Rabbit Limo is right up there. Just reading the description you can almost feel the flames of hell licking at this guy as he tries to convince someone to purchase a stretched Rabbit with rusty floors and a rotten interior that hasn't run since 2002. This one is definitely for the pure of heart, but hey, only $750! Description and more pics below.
Time to sell this huge project! Not for the faint of heart! Very rusty. Here's the details....Professionally stretched when new..I have a promo pic of it from the company that built it. Low miles about 50K...1.6 Gas powered automatic. Dealer installed air. This car ran and drove when I got it in 2002. The metal was rotted under the vinyl top. The floors were falling through. The rocker were rusty. I had a roof panel welded in with a sunroof. I had floors made by a metal shop, then installed. Some rocker work done. The fuel tank was removed when welding. The tank is still out, so it does not run. It did run and drive great prior however. We put in brackets to install A4 GTI rear black leather seat which is included. I have extra rust free doors. This car could be a lot of fun after a lot of work. I just don't have the time for it. The last pic is from 02 when it was last driven (fun).[Craigslist]
Thanks for the tip mtdrv

Wow, stretching a Rabbit, results in a wagon.
That is just plain wrong..
I like Bunnies, but not like that...
I'm moving to SoCal next year hopefully, this would be a great car, although a Landualet version might just be better
Sweet, you can sit on your leather MkIV GTI seat with your head in your hands.
Does the $750 include the free head exam? Or is that extra? Silly wabbit, oxides for kids.
Looks like an old soviet limo used to transport ministers through St. Petersberg.
Nice thing about Rabbits is that everything behind the drivers seat is pretty much superfluous so with a gas source you could conceivably drive it around just dragging the back half of the carcass.
Rabbitmino Xtracab candidate?
Was this a limo made for Wilt Chamberlain?

That Rabbit's custom-made for breeding!
A 1.6L with a automatic? I can only imagine how badly that must perform with passengers loaded in the back. At least use the Diesel from that time, it was a slug, but it had some torque.
COOL! I'll park in the backyard with my Omni, Chevette, Lada, Caravan and my favorite, Yugo limos. Yes I'll have me one of the greatest useless lawn ornament collections in history!!
This should be the pace car for a LeMons race.
Was this used at Harry Chapin's Funeral??
@smalleyxb122: Hmmm... I thought stretching a rabbit yielded a ferret.
Long rabbit is long.
Aren't 1980s VWs easy enough to find parts for? Doesn't seem like a Hell candidate to me.
The fuel tank was removed when welding. The tank is still out, so it does not run. It did run and drive great prior however.
So the seized engine and fuel lines full of insect-nests shouldn't be a problem at all, right? Just turn the key and go!
@v8corvairpickup: that was such a funny commercial.
