Great article. As someone who lusted after early Sciroccos almost as much as Porsche 911s when I was in my early teens, I can totally identify. Given how few of the 75-81 Sciroccos are left unrusted, I can see some mild collectibility in the future.
Unfortunately, unlike old 911s they are very slow and don't handle well stock. And the interiors are pure '70s econobox. So the modify vs. preserve arguement is much tougher.
Also, it's cool to drive an old 911. Not so an old VW. Take a glance at VWVortex and you'll see that the majority of late '70s VW owners are in their early 20s and live from Quickie-mart paycheck to paycheck. Not exactly a firm foundation for collection and appreciation of a future classic.
