OK, I was back over there again today.

This time, he dug-up the keys and we poked around a little more. Calloway turbo, as assumed, and got to open the door and look inside.

Then, not 20 minutes ago, I got a call from his brother on the east coast who owns the car. He filled me on more details...not sure whether he's going to sell it but if he does, I should be first in line. Hopefully.

I don't know what it's worth but holy ****, this has to be close to the Holy Grail of Mk1 Sciroccos. It's a 1980 and he bought it new. He drove it to school while attending the Art Center in Pasadena and then for a few more years and it's been mostly sitting for maybe 25 years(?) Last registered in 2000. He moved away and left it at home a long time ago and his mom used to start it once in a while, just to keep the battery charged. No mechanical issues when parked.

Would take some work to get it back on the road but check condition:






Completely original except for paint. It has a decent quality re-spray I think. Forgot to ask him. One owner:
