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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Oh, to have a bigger garage.... Nice example.

I hate the wheels and it's a strange car having 23k miles and being completely restored(?) And the golf ball shifter is missing?
I'll be curious to see where it goes but I like mine better. ![]() ![]()
