here's mine - miss it.
The kids called it "Bullseye" because we would get pulled over all the time.

I had a '75. Thirteen hundred CC's, 75 HP and as many smiles per mile in the twistys as a 914!

That poor rear bumper. The crash bumper made it look like the ski deck on a power boat.

Always like the Roccos.

I wanted Euro bumpers, hell - Euro everything, but had no money in those days...

Bought it for $1600, drove it another 86k and sold it for $2000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

When I had my first 914 in '73, my brother traded in his Dodge Coronet on a new Scirocco. He named it Silverfax. We used to have a blast carving canyons in SoCal with those cars. Always enjoyed driving that car.

I had a 1978 Scirocco but unfortunately don't have any photos. It was a great car
and I wish I still had it.

I drove mine coast to coast 10 times, so I became attached to her. Spent tons of coin & time on her but never got around to finishing the project. Also, my 1st love (the 914) got in the way, along with my truck. I'm only 52 so I still have time but redoing my six is still in front of my Rocco, so she stays garaged.

I love both the 1st and 2nd generation Sciroccos.

I've almost gone after a Corrado a couple of times - I always considered it the 3rd generation regardless of the name.

Give me the G60 4 cyl that was never supposed to happen, but did because the VR6 wasn't ready.

Wow, does this bring back memories! My Scirocco was a black on black '83 Wolfsburg edition. Drove the wheels off it. Taught 3 kids how to work a stick using it and only burned out 2 clutches! Sold it with 245,000 miles on it. I wish I had some pictures.....and there are many days I wish I had it back.

I've owned 4- my 75 which I still have, a 78 & 80 that were parts cars & an 87 16v. I had fun w/ the 78 & cut the top off so I could see how it would look as a convertible. Not as nice lines as the Rabbit cabriolet- wish I'd taken pictures.

This is the one I built, bought it in 2002 as a project with the engine in the trunk, painted at least five different shades of brown/gold/sand metallic. Had her for 8 years and when I sold her she was fully restored, rollcaged, 1.8T 20v'd and damn fun.

Edit:

found an old (very old) crappy phone clip of a 3'rd gear acceleration....

Back in college I was shopping for a used car. A used lot had for sale a gold colored Scirocco from Callaway. It had a big turbo, special Callaway seats, and an oil leak. Took it for a spin and it was pretty quick. They were asking $1800 for it. Ended up with a Saab 900.. It was a really cool car.

Always loved and wanted one of those.

I did have an 84 GTI, 86 GTI, 88 Quantum GL, 84 Audi 400 Quattro, 1985 Audi 5000 Turbo Quattro Black on Black.......... This was all in a range of 4 years...........

NEVER should have sold that 84GTI.. Loved that car, but as you see I kept climbing up and up in 'quality' but all that happened was more and more time spend at the dealer and LIBERAL use of the warranty...........

In 1989 I bought my first Saab 900T and never looked back at the VW/Audi marque.......

Another VW I ALWAYS WANTED!!! Love both Mk 1 & 2. Remember sitting in one while waiting to pick up our new light blue 2-door Dasher. Dad traded in a yellow (Shantung Yellow I think it was called) '71 Squareback. Crain-Daly Volkswagen....ATL. Seems like yesterday but it was the Fall of 1975.
