Find of the Day: 1992 Corrado SLC Turbo

Clean means a lot of things to a lot of people. To a bachelor it just means that you’re aware of everything that’s alive in a given space. But to some it means something more. It means a war against the forces of entropy that seek to make a given space anything less than perfect.

Forum user Buddha92SLC might just be one of those people. Buddha is selling his 1992 Corrado SLC Turbo and gosh is it clean.

The cleanliness starts on the outside, which was repainted in Dark Burgundy Pearl (a factory color) in 2008. The Corrado was blown apart for the job, says Buddha, and all the glass motor and interior were pulled for the respray.

The body was shaved and filled and the whole thing was given the once over. The grille is now badgeless, the door handles were painted, as was the license plate mount. New tinted rear lights were put on and the fronts were replaced with European SLC headlights.

The Corrado now sits on Schmidt Moderline wheels and even the lug bolts were changed to get the right length.

The nicest touch on this Corrado, though, is in the pictures provided in the ad. The seats, beyond being unblemished, have also had lines drawn into them with a vacuum cleaner. Not only did Buddha want to get all of the dust out, he actually vacuumed against the grain of the fabric to get a soccer field motif. That’s attention to detail.

Other highlights include the rebuilt 2.8L VR6 that lurks under the perfectly painted hood, a Garrett T04E, as well as a rebuilt transmission with a reinforced clutch fork, and a bunch more.

The only downside is that the price reflects the attention to detail, at $13,500, but the ad says that the Corrado has won multiple awards and that it has more than 400 hp. Take a look at the full, lengthy post here.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...
