A kayak strapped to the top of a 1985 Volkswagen Cabriolet? Not something we see every day, but hey, we dig it.

This Volkswagen looks to be in solid condition and has undergone some recent TLC, including new belts and gaskets. The Volkswagen also has some new goodies like the soft top, Toyo Extensa HP tires, SSP coil-overs, Enkei wheels plus an aftermarket head unit and sound system. And no, sadly the cute dog isn’t included.

While there is an issue with the K-Jet fuel injection, according to the ad, the Volkswagen ran well and shifted smoothly before then.

Find this 1985 Volkswagen Cabriolet for sale on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of $4500.

Indeed!  We just need a picture of a German saying "Nine!  K-Jet if fine!"

I had one decades ago for a Summer car ,  fun little thing , it was stock and not a GTI , but was not slow for the time , 

Everyone called them "Stewardess Cars"  back then  , lots of Triple White ones around the beach areas .

Standard issue for sorority girls at my school. You could run red or white with the white top and interior.

My ex had an 89 smurf blue with white top named, of course, Smurfette. Good car. No idea what happened to it after the split. Doesn't Cammisa have one with a 16v in it?
