Its my car actually, Its a first year Scirocco. Lots of one year only oddities involved with it being a 75. Just takes education, I guess. Im a early water-cooled VW guy more than I am a porsche guy! But nor am I close minded towards the market price of a 63 911. SmileWavy

Per the ad its foam that was put inside the lip of the hood from the factory, 75 only. :mad:

It was done from factory at the time to prevent vibrations.

Longhoods have the same foam which is why the bumper holes always rust out.

So what would your car be worth if it was in much better condition, ie. no rust, nice original interior, etc.? I was not trying to insult you or your car as much as expressing genuine shock at its value, if in fact that's its value. If it sells in a short amount of time for your price, that is its value.

I know that these cars have a certain following but with all old cars, it becomes a case of restoration costs and hassle exceeding the price of a good example. IOW, it's only worth it to buy the best one you can because it's much cheaper than restoring one. Also, there is the (related) issue of how much of a restoration industry exists for the car because it can be impossible to properly restore regardless of $$.

Are mint early Sciroccos that rare? What do they bring in the marketplace? :cool:

Also, there are no '63 911s. A 1964 titled 911 would be extremely rare, as in you could spend your entire life looking for one with an open wallet and never score.

Here's what NADA says for whatever its worth?

Hagerty doesn't list them??

That actually sounds about right, from what little I've seen in the recent past.

From what I have seen with other cars, price depends a lot on the question if zse Germans are buying them. I would guess the the Mk1 VWs are bought and brought to Europe. They had a huge following over there and they are all rusted and run into the ground by now. $10k is nothing in Euros, if you can get a CA or AZ survivor that can get the H (historic) plates which is low in cost.

A little late to the party, so I'll get right to it.......here's my 1977, bought it in high school, drove it 50k plus miles in 3 years, that car had soulhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1393392111.jpg

So how much is the one I'm looking at worth...eleventy billion dollars? :)

Really? I've been hording a setup for years...now i'll have to dig it out and go over it.

That is just it, not many seem to come up for sale, were they all crashed, rusted out, where are they? I for one am pulling that you get this one, but be warned about the turbo lag & torque steer when the turbo does kick in :D

Well you didn't post any interior pictures and nor is there any information on it being a callaway kit or not, which id assume it is. Its not a early mk1, but the much more common later style. (78-81)

https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/4337423850.html

Here is a nice example at a fair price. Depending on condition and callaway kit I would value it at 5-7k.

I'm also late to this party.
Bought a 1979 brand new upon graduating from college (yes, I'm older). Still remember that the car payment on the loan was $234.08 per month.

LOVED that car. Could throw it around like nobody's business and yes, it handled well in the snow.

I too will warn you about the electrics - I had a starting issue that was eventually diagnosed as a bad board. If memory serves, there was eventually a recall for that problem after I'd spent hundreds of $$ on 'fixes' and gotten stranded several times.

Mine only had a 4-speed and I often wished it had another gear, but it ran like stink, particularly with only 1-2 people in it. Wasn't quite as peppy with 3-4.

Sadly sold it when I moved to Chicago and had no where to garage it.

Hope it works out for you. Did I mention that I LOVED that car?

Here's a NOS Callaway turbo kit for sale. No affiliation.

VWVortex.com - FS: NOS Callaway Turbo Kit

Actually, I did post interior pics and verify that it's a Calloway turbo kit a few pages back. It also had 32k original miles, one meticulous owner and it's in amazing, mint condition.

I think that you're suffering from severe delusion if you think that your car and this one are worth the same. Absolutely bat-schit. Your car does not look to be in even medium fair condition.

Avoid scams, deal locally Beware wiring (e.g. Western Union), cashier checks, money orders, shipping.



is one in St Louis

What would a 1988, (Mk2), Scirocco w/ ~150k miles in the rust belt have to do with the car being discussed on this thread? :confused:

Just throwing that out there, just a fyi so sorry.

Ok...not really looking to buy one other than the one this thread is about. I'm sure that a nationwide search would turn up a few in various conditions.

I'm also confident that it's not too hard to figure out what the one I'm hunting is worth. Just take the value of an average one in good condition and add the appropriate surcharge. :)

Rust is a deal killer when it comes to the value of any collectible car, as well as general condition in other areas.
