Moving on……

Genuine 4/1976 Mk1 Golf Swallowtail

1.8L K-Jet turbo

Original registration IMS 016

This is currently my daily driver, travelling 600+km a week.

First & currently still the fastest Mk1 in Aust.

12.99@107mph with a poor 60ft!

Body looks & presents itself in good condition, but in reality, its in “Fair” Rusty condition where you can’t really see it. Supplying a spare very straight & dry shell from central NSW

Interior is “Immaculate”. Very hard to find a cloth interior in this condition. Also has Diesel front sound deadening.

Supplying a new spare plain white headliner in its bag.

Your really buying this car for the complete running gear, suspension, brakes & interior, which would be transferred across to a nice Mk1 shell.
Will separate running gear, but prefer to sell complete, as a Jump-in-&- drive going concern.

No RWC.

Reg. till May 2013

Geelong, VIC

$8000 in as is “Current” condition

Can test drive (Definitely No tyre kickers!!!!) Have no time at all for this.





















Will also throw in the custom widened 13” stock rims with the brand new, never used M&H DOT street/drag tyre




Running gear is as follows. All the hard work, testing & development is all done. Advertised separately if parting out.

For an extra cost...

Can also supply a "Complete" Window, door weather seal kit to suit the "Stainless chrome window surround triming". Also incl. new chrome from & rear window seal beading & NOS "Volkswagen" & "GolfLS" script badging.

This is a complete kit! Inner & out scraper seals, 1/4 glass seals, door frame seals, boot seal etc etc.
This alone took me 2+ years to source one bit here & another there, as there is not one manufacturer that does a complete kit & alot of it is only made in runs bits & pieces at a time.


The list goes on & on with all the modifications, development, wiring modifications etc. etc. in building a car like this, to not only build strong, but also reliable enough to be a long distance daily driver, make good power (insane to others who've never experienced it), great fuel ecomony etc.

Anyone who’s been for a drive or driven this, can attest to how its built & drives.

All thats really to do, is prepare, paint & rebuild the other shell with the complete running gear, all the mint interior, new seal kit & you have a complete inner & outer restoration with grunt like no other Mk1 Golf in OZ!

PM for more details if required.
