MARK 1 Perfection - 1983 Volkswagen Jetta

1983 Volkswagen Jetta Coupe
The Jetta has been offered in two- and four-door saloon / sedan, and five-door wagon / estate versions - all as four- or five-seaters. Since the original version in 1980, the car has grown in size and power with each generation. By mid-2011, almost 10 million Jettas have been produced and sold all over the world. As of April 2014, Volkswagen marketed over 14 million, becoming its top selling model.
The Jetta was introduced to the world at the 1979 Frankfurt Auto Show. Production of the first generation began in August 1979 at the Wolfsburg plant. In Mexico, the Mark 1 was known as the "Volkswagen Atlantic".
The car was available as a two-door sedan (replacing the aging rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Volkswagen Beetle 2-door sedan in the United States and Canada) and four-door sedan body styles, both of which shared a traditional three-box design. Like the Volkswagen Golf Mk1, its angular styling was penned at ItalDesign, by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Styling differences could be found depending on the market. In most of the world, the car was available with composite headlamps, while in the US, it was only available with rectangular sealed beam lamps due to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 (FMVSS 108). The suspension setup was identical to the Golf and consisted of a MacPherson strut setup in front and a twist-beam rear suspension. It shared its 2,400 mm (94.5 in) wheelbase with its hatchback counterpart, although overall length was up by 380 millimetres (15 in). The capacity of the luggage compartment was 377 litres (13.3 ft3), making the Jetta reasonably practical. To distinguish the car from the Golf, interiors were made more upscale in all markets. ] This included velour seating and color coordinated sill to sill carpeting.
Engine choices varied considerably depending on the local market. Most were based on 827 engines of the era. Choices in petrol engines ranged from a 1.1 litre four-cylinder engine producing 37 kW (50 hp; 50 PS), to a 1.8-litre I4 which made 82 kW (110 hp; 111 PS) and 150 newton-metres (111 lbf⋅ft) of torque.

I think that it looks great. I had a Jetta Mk1 years ago. It was a really fun little car to drive and I was able to do it on a budget.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for watching

[@philipjones3793]

Man that thing is Beautiful. I had a 84 model turbo diesel and it has to be one of my favorite cars I ever had. I painted its original gold and then totalled it maybe a year after that. I miss it still today. I had a girlfriend that had a two door like that..

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Yes it is, thanks for sharing and for watching!

This is a 1983 Wolfsburg Limited Edition in LA3A Mars Red, only available for two years on the A1 Jetta in North America. 83 WLE and 84 GLI. It's believe only 1200 were built, only available in 3 colours.

Yeah and he's pretty proud of his awesome ride too

[@KORAYDOGAN-te3fs]

Hi from turkey, is it jetta GL

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question, no as the title states it’s a Mark 1. The GL trim level wasn’t introduced until 1984. Thanks for watching!
