A friend fell in love with them in the early 90's
I hadn't seen one in probably a decade until just recently drove past one.
Have recently been watching a guy's youtube channel, he's wheeling a TDI swapped TJ. Sounds like an interesting swap. Wheel for days on just a few gallons of diesel.

It’s missing the winch and 1/2 mile of cable.

One of my h.s. running buddies had one. Got amazing mileage. I know a couple guys that have mini rod pulling tractors that are running those old tdi engines and making crazy horse power with them.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

I did not have the truck but learned to drive in a '72 beetle with 4 on the floor.

I’d forgotten about those. Before I left for the Navy, I worked at a VW/Porsche dealer and one of the utility vehicles at the shop was the pickup version of the VW bus. It was cool. The sides could be lowered like the tailgate, making a flatbed of it.

I knew a guy in NJ that owned one (diesel) and did a lot of driving every year because of his job. Never had an issue.

My Dad had one. He loved it. They were front wheel drive. He refinished antique furniture and hauled a lot of it in that little truck.
I had a '79 Rabbit. That was a great car too. I tried like hell but couldn't kill it.

The sides could be lowered like the tailgate, making a flatbed of it. A girl that hung around in the same group I did back in the late '60s drove a club cab version of one of those. As I recall her's was a 4 door. Rode in it several times.

Front wheel Drive isn't so good when you put a load in the bed.

Had one when I was working for a paper company put 330,000 miles on it never left me stranded. Two sets of brakes and a heater motor was all I had to do to it as high as 53 mpg. Passing someone on a busy two lane road was a religious experience.
