Factory Homologation Model: 1989 VW Rallye Golf

This special all-wheel-drive version of the A2 Golf was the homologation model for VW’s factory racing effort. Only 5000 were ever made, and we have never seen another one in the USA. Find it here on eBay out of Marietta, Georgia.



At first look, these cars looked like GTI’s with a chunky body kit and Corrado wheels, but they are actually much more. They came with the supercharged G60 engine, slim projector headlights, and steel box-flared fenders. Check out the video below of the works rally car:



These cars also came with smoked Hella taillamps from the factory, which was a popular aftermarket addition. If you read VW & Porsche Magazine back in the 80’s, before they changed the name to European Car, you’ll recall how many US-spec A2’s were modified with Rallye Golf parts.



The interior is pretty standard, and retains the metric gauges from the original German-market ownership. The seats have factory Rallye embroidery, and the tilt forward lever is broken on this one, just like it seems to on all of them!



The G60 supercharged engine came to the USA in the Corrado, but was never offered in the USA market Golf or GTI. IT makes good power and can be easily tuned.



We like the rarity and legal importation of this car. We have heard of others being brought into the USA with sketchy swapped VIN’s, but this one sounds legitimate. With the right modifications this car would be a great daily driver or rally cross weekender. Check out this site for more information on the model.

Famed AlfaRestore Example: ‘66 Giulia Sprint GT

This ‘66 Alfa Romeo was well documented by the previous owner who operates AlfaRestore.com. This seller has added several nice Alfaholics modifications since his purchase, and is now offering the car out of Quebec City, Canada. Find it here on the AlfaBB for $25k.



This car is a fairly dry West Coast example, which is likely a rare find in Quebec. The new suspension has dropped it down quite a bit and it looks great but likely limits rear tire size. The 14″ GTA replica wheels are a perfect compliment.



Interior pictures and description is limited, but these cars do have the nice concave dash, finished in black when they are not a Veloce. The Nardi wood wheel is a nice piece. The full bumpers are in great condition.



The price might be full retail, but it is interesting to see such a well-known car available for sale. We’d love to see the car go to someone who wants to drive it.
