Aaron's SEMA Winning '78 Rabbit
Best European Import: 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit
From afar, Aaron Stehly's Rabbit looks somewhat subdued. Get closer and it's obvious that's not the right word to describe this VW. What we love about this car is how Stehly applied a classic hot-rod approach to his front-drive, four-cylinder VW hatchback
The Oettinger OKRASA 16-valve heads are the German equivalent of an ARDUN conversion on a Ford flathead. The engine bay and underside of the hood feature a ridiculous amount of metalwork. There are unnecessarily complicated details, like how the factory square door corners have been rounded and the body opening filled in to match, as well as how Stehly pulled out the wheel arches without messing with the rest of the fenders. It's an import built through the lens of traditional American speed, an idea we can all get behind.
