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.  |
when i was 15 getting ready to get my license, i had magazine pictures cut out and stuck on my wall in my bedroom. i never did get one
and i can say that i have never seen a scirocco in person in new york in all these years. not a single one, any generation.
great looking car! between this and the triumph you have some sweet projects
