...I probably won't get it. I wish I were though.

Quote from: Tony Danza

So I was going through my photobucket and remembered I still had this car

I don't need to or really want to sell it, but I haven't driven this car in almost 3 years. Please don't message me unless you have the money to buy it. I don't want any trades and it won't be parted out. The car is stored in a garage right now with a cover over it. I fogged the engine before storage with fogging oil. (carb'd)

Some basics

- 75 scirocco original pumpkin orange color.
- re-spray in 1995 along with the body work.
- I am the 2nd owner.
- CLEAN title
- previous owner was in WA state as well. Car has never seen salt.
- Original 1.5L carbed 8v about 175k
- Solex carb
- Bellevue MS header
- 2" exhaust with magnaflow muffler
- poly front mount
- Full reupholstered interior in black vinyl
- Black dash with zero cracks
- Car is sitting on factory 13" wheels and bilstein/ neuspeed setup right now.
- bmw 5 series projector headlights with 4300k HIDs
- autotech front and rear strut bars, brand new not even installed
- 2 sets of brand new NOS turn signals and 1 set of brand new sidemarkers
- 4 point H bar under chassis bar
- neuspeed front and rear sway bars, not even installed.
- Alpine deck with full amplified speaker system and wired for sub.

Too many other things to list, explaining over the phone or in person all the details is the only way to tell this cars full story.

$4500

How come no interior shots?

Rukh · « **Reply #4 on:** January 31, 2011, 04:02:05 PM »

I asked for some. The guy said the car is in storage under a tarp, an hour away; so he'll have to make a trip to get more pics. I think he just posted what he had.

I hope to someday be rich enough to forget I owned a particular car. That's a surprisingly not outrageous price on the car

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #6 on:** February 01, 2011, 10:03:18 AM »

I was thinking that the price really isnt outrageous at all, Im bet it will sell in the next month. Some guys just scan the vortex looking for things like this to pop up.

Rukh · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2011, 10:18:48 AM »

I'm one of them, especially around tax season. Shame my return is already earmarked for other things.

Damn, why can't these pop up around September or so?

I would feel soo much cooler here if someone in the club bought it...

Rukh · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2011, 10:59:45 PM »

It looks like it's spoken for anyway. When I get to FL, I am going to get a Mk1 GTI, Roc, or Cabby.

greggearhead · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2011, 12:28:47 PM »

FL? You leaving us Josh?

Rukh · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2011, 01:30:27 PM »

Yup, just re-signed my lease and it ends July 31st. My kids have decided that they want to live with their mother here, much to my chagrin, so I am going to go down to FL where some better job-opportunities lie for people with my skillset...

Uh yeah. Have clearance, will travel.

To fix Bics.

I like the bics... much easier to fix than the craptastic truckstop generic specials....

I've realized in my experience having an education means shit, which I have... Having a Clearance is everything, which I don’t have. Good for you and good luck Josh!

What!?! I've got experience man, 10 years for the DoD. But nothing more than a "Favorable Security Clearance".

Unless dude decides he wants to sell me his Scirocco (or there's a gold 16v in IL that I've offered on too), one of these is going to be my next car:
