@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto); About this vehicle This 1978 Volkswagen Scirocco is a modified vehicle with updates to the interior and drivetrain. The owner has had it for 3 years. The vehicle is drivable and is mainly used for weekend drives. Seller's Notes This car will come with a trunk full of spare parts that came with the car when I purchased from TN in 2018 and had shipped to MI. Vehicle Details This 1978 Volkswagen Scirocco Mk I is a modified example finished in British Racing Green over a black leather interior. The non-original JH-code 1.8-liter inline-four is paired with a close-ratio 5-speed manual, both of which are said to have been sourced from a later-model GTI. Further updates were begun by the prior owner including a full repaint and suspension rebuild, as well as the addition of later-model seats, snowflake wheels, and a free-flow exhaust system. This Type 53 was originally red, and prepped for the repaint reportedly included removal of trim and glass, some rust repair, and stripping the car to bare metal in many areas. PPG paint was used and the color-change included the door jambs, along with undersides of the hood and rear hatch. A new windshield was installed and all window gaskets replaced after the repaint. The finish has faded some with a number of blemishes/scratches. There is a 1/4″ paint bubble under the windshield and a 1/2″ bubble below the driver-side rear window. Aftermarket updates and parts sourced from a later-model GTI include: Scirocco “S†trim Front spoiler European headlights Rear roof mounted antenna (no radio) Front/rear anti-sway bars 4-wheel disc brakes Free-flow exhaust with stainless long tube header Ansa chrome exhaust tip The black interior features leather seats from a 1987-89 Scirocco 16V, a Scirocco steering wheel with Wolfsburg center-crest, a golf style shift knob, and wood-grain dash/door trim. Newer carpets and door panels have been added, and a vacuum-formed plastic dash cover is in place. The odometer shows ~155k miles. Recent work was completed to rebuild the brake booster and carburetor within the last 2 years. The car rides on refurbished 14×6″ snowflake wheels with black VW-logo center caps and newer Cooper CS3 Touring tires all around. A matching spare and tire are found in the well below the rear cargo area. A prior suspension overhaul included the following parts: KYB shocks Eibach springs New upper strut mounts, A-arm bushings, ball joints and tie rods New wheel bearings Exterior Interior Engine Download the eBay Motors app
