I'm not much of a fan of trucks, preferring a more compact vehicle with a low center of gravity, but there are times when a truck could come in handy. I think I've found the solution to this eternal dilemma:

Rabbit diesel pickup would also be very jalop.

Central PA has these in spades. Most still haul on a daily basis.
Slowly.

Same place as a standard 914. Mind you, we can't see how much space the transmission is taking up, but it can't be all that much.
An open bed and a frunk plus a targa top? Can it get any better?

I had one years ago, bought because it was the lightest weight water cooled VW I could find; I had no need for a truck. I was working at a VW dealer at the time and taking a lot of autoshop courses and built a killer 2.1l engine using a motor from a Jetta GLI as a base. Lumpy cam, tubular headers, no cat. An absolute screamer in a straight line, humiliating Porsches, BMWs and other high-dollar equipment. I removed the GTI grill that came with it and put a stock one on, and replaced the alloys with some steelies (with P600s) from a Golf GT. But no matter what I did to the suspension I couldn't make it handle worth a damn - it was just an understeering pig. I was hoping to recreate the fun I had with my Rabbit GTI, but all I managed to do was create a German/American muscle car. When it was stolen and crashed (another story), I wasn't too terribly disappointed. I bought a 320i after that and learned to slow down a tad.

They were all made in PA, I believe. '79 Rabbit VAS CHERMAN! In 1980, the PA factory took over here in the states.
