When Volkswagen – after decades of delays aggravated by the enormous cost of the Sparkarte payments and Sue Tatra arising from Origin of the Type 1 Beetle – finally began mass production of water-cooled automobiles, 1973 Passat (called Dasher on our shores) was the first to roll off the assembly line. Completely new Golf aka rabbit appeared the following year, and with it a In the style of Giugiaro incurred. That car was a Scirocco, and I found one of those first-generation machines at a self-service yard in the Denver area.
By 1979, Scirocco had to compete with Japanese sports coupes such as Datsun 310GX and Honda Preludenot to mention 128 Sport Hatchback and even Brava two doors from Fiat. American Motors even offers an AMX-ized version of Spirit, beats the Scirocco on price and comes with a high-torque six engine. However, Scirocco was selling well here around that time.
This car is rusted in common places, in addition, it is often smashed.
This JVC cassette deck dates from the mid-1980s, so it’s possible that this car hasn’t been in service since Reagan was in the White House.
The interior is filled with what looks like decades of rodent debris, no doubt piled high hantavirus. I have feel worseHowever- one great number of worse.
The 1,457cc inline 4-cylinder in this car made 71 horsepower back in 1979, which isn’t too bad for a car that doesn’t weigh 2,000 pounds.
Very cool German fuel rating sticker Continent touch, although RON’s octane rating probably convinced many Scirocco owners in the US to use premium gas when they don’t need it (91 RON equates to our 87 octane rating).
You could buy this car with an automatic transmission, but that added $125 to the purchase price (about $530 in inflation adjusted 2022 dollars). This has a base four-tier notebook.
Back in the early 1980s, when talented cartoonist Robert Armstrong wanted to show how the Man would brainwash Mickey Mouse As an effective member of society, he gave the once rebellious rodent Scirocco. This has stuck with me since I was in high school, so I still have my doubts about Scirocco.
You know how to live!
