1985 VW Jetta Stretch Limousine
One of two custom built Limousines done by a Canadian Coach builder in the early
90's. My father told me when I was young of a stretch Jetta he saw at an
car auction in Pennsylvania. Every once in a while I would search for info
on such a Limo, and at the beginning of 2009 saw a "Project Car Hell" posting on
Jalopnik.com pitting this Limo found on craigslist against a Caddilac Camper
conversion. The Caddy won. I followed through on the craigslist
posting, and bought the Limo within a week. It's been through a few
owner's hands in recent years, and has had the original tired engine/automatic
tranny pulled. I plan for a full ABA and Manual transmission swap...
someday this Limo will be back on the road! It's a big project, and
I don't expect to be finished any time soon. For now here are the pictures from
the Thesamba.com ad where the car was posted.
