I cannot remember the last time I saw a Mk1 Scirocco driving in L.A. or anywhere else. early 911s are common in comparison. Heck, so are Ferrari Daytonas, or just about any old, rare car you can name.
There is a reason for that, though. Sciroccos never sold in large numbers like Rabbits and Jettas and to be honest, as cool as they were, they were economy cars at the core and were not built like Porsches or BMWs. If they were modified for performance, they were either crashed or just blew-up and all of them rusted their way to the junkyard in the rusty parts of the country. They were not special enough to store in the winter, people just drove them.
That's what makes this car so rare. It's modified but never abused and has extremely low mileage. It's never been in salt and it was stored properly for all these years. It may be the only one like it left in captivity.
