    1987 VW Scirocco 16 Valve

    I have up for trade/sale my 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco 16 Valve. I've had the car for since March of this year. It's been great so far but I think I may want something different. I know I'll probably regret getting rid of it. I'll be honest I would prefer to trade for something of the same vintage (86-91 GTI's, Jettas, Cabriolets). I purchased the car from a gentleman on VWVortex that purchased it from the original owner. Since having the car since March I have spent a lot of $$$ on the car and can provide receipts for all. The body has minimal rust in 2 areas, about the size of a quarter. No rust in the rear wheel wells. It does have a few small dents but nothin major. The sunroof has a blown gasket but otherwise works fine and doesnt' leak. The car has all the AC equipment but does not blow cold air. I have a can of R12 i can throw in with the car. All parts have less than 5000 miles on them. The car has a brand new set of Michelin tires on it. I spent about $450 at the machine shop, having head work done that included new exhaust valve guides, milling the head, hot tanking the head and insatlling new cams and springs. Below is a parts list of what has been replaced since March:
    Cylinder Head Gasket set
    Timing Belt
    Timing Belt Tensioner
    Timing Chain
    AC Compressor Belt
    Power Steering Belt
    Alternator Belt
    Water Pump Gasket
    Water Pump
    Auto Tech Sport Cams
    Techtonics tuning Cam gear
    Autotech Sport Tuned Valve Springs
    ARP Head Studs
    Coolant Level senor
    Ignition Lock Cylinder
    Throttle body gasket
    Washernozzle tubing
    Low Temp Thermostat
    Thermostat Gasket
    Clutch & Brake Pedal
    Upper radiator hose
    Lower radiator hose
    PCV Breather hose
    Miscellaneous hoses
    Bosch Fuel filter
    Mann Air filter
    Oil dipstick and funnel
    Coolant Temp sending
    Fuel Pump relay
    Rockville Ring & Bearing
    Full Boar Muffler
    Distributor
    Distributor Cap
    Distributor Rotor
    Dual Radiator Fans
    Radiator
    Battery
    Bosch Starter
    Techtonics Thermoswitch
    Thermoswitch Gasket
    Pioneer 4X6 Speakers(4)
    New Alternator
    New Bosch Coil
    New Spark plug wires
    Oil catch can
    Water Wetter
    AC Rceiver/Drier
    AC Expansion Valve
    Knock sensor
    Trunk latch seal
    Shift kit
    Oil Cooler
    Oil catch can

    Right now the car seems to run a little warmer than what I was used to, I've trouble shooted the problem to be the oil cooler which I will have installed or I can trade/sell to new owner as is and have them install the part.

    The paint on the car seems like it still shines. It just needs a buff and polish which I was planning on doing within the next few days. I initially planned on getting it repainted. For some reason i can't seems to post pictures on here. Please send me your email so I can email you picture. I can be reached at (301) 693-8077
    $3400 OBO
