Thats 81 is a nice scirocco. I haven't seen one with those wheels since I left Germany in the late 80s. My girlfriend had a Yellow 74 or 75 with those exact wheels on it. Very cool

Different car and different market than this discussion. Like the difference between a ‘73 911S and a 1975 911S.

...$42k !!

Holy Scheiss!!!
$42K

That's 911 money. Beautiful car but not worth $42K. At least not to me.

speeder 10-08-2022 01:55 PM

Not at all surprised. And which collectible 911 is $42k?

fintstone 10-08-2022 03:29 PM

Wow! I must say I must be clueless on things like this (even though I once owned one) because I would not have thought it would be much more than about $15K.

Of course, it is hard to believe that my almost flawless, low mile '74 and '89 911s (that I really need to drive more) would go for more than $25K. I have not bought a new car for a long time...and have never paid more than around $30K.

I recently was offered a very nice '67 Camaro SS for $30K and probably could have gotten the guy down...but could not pull the trigger. According to what I have read, that is a steal...but it seemed ridiculous to pay $30K for an old car...even if very nice.

Any Scirocco fans?
 
It is a steal, but the driving experience is meh. I think all of us here look at our 911s as 20k card and shake our heads.

That is very cool. A guy showed up at a track event with a Twin engine, Acura I think, , I need to dig out the pictures of it.

Nice there is a vw golf drag car with twin vr6 engines that comes up on utube occasionally. They sound crazy enough with one engine! Im sure its a pretty unique experience. Iv been thinking of building a gokart with two engines I have the front hubs to do it. I have a minibike with two engines and it pulls like a freight train and the sound is awesome.

Here's another really nice one...

Yeah, that’s a nice one.

Shaun @ Tru6 11-06-2022 04:37 AM

That color along with the blue and red version using that tone, is perfect for these cars.

Flimsy as a tuna can otherwise. -ask me how I know...

These cars where not designed like Porsches of the day.

The Scirocco was/is easily over-stressed in so many places.

I was watching a movie on Pluto TV, it ended and Planes Trains and Automobiles started. I must have watched it dozens of times, but hey, what's that? Right at the beginning.

A MKI with GTI wheels. Same color as one of my old Sciroccos.

^^^^^^^ Having a hard time not bidding on that car.....

island911 11-12-2022 10:20 PM

I don't blame you. That is one fine example. The ATS wheels are perfect too.

Jeff Alton 11-12-2022 10:29 PM

Yes those wheels are Epic.
