For whatever reason, since acquiring my recent project Subaru, I have a burning desire to snatch up every junkyard example I can find. This same thing happened when I first got into BMWs; I wanted to build a collection of parts cars. Of course, that’s not realistic without a lot of real estate, and the seller of a collection of VW Rabbits here on craigslist is done collecting and wants them gone for $3K. 

Though he’d prefer not to separate the cars out, I suspect this seller would just be happy to have the projects out of his possession. He mentions age as a primary factor for getting out of the VW Rabbit game, and his collection includes classic gas-powered cabriolets and diesel-powered hardtops. All of them are in various states of repair, but most have titles and “ran when parked.”

Located somewhere in or near Springfield, Missouri, the seller clearly has been collecting Rabbits for a while. It’s hard to tell if these were just utilitarian workhorses that proved to be good daily drivers or if he was a VW nut who latched onto this particular generation of water-cooled VWs. No word on whether they are rusty, but I’d factor that into your consideration given the outdoor storage.

Here’s another shot of the cars in the top photo. They don’t look too rusty, do they? Even the chrome on the front bumper still shines. However, there’s no denying that even at $3K, this collection of Rabbits isn’t exactly a steal; however, if you’re looking to build a steady parts supply for years to come, I have a feeling this seller would make a deal if you took the whole lot off his hands.
