Find of the Day: 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V

Around these parts, most anything with a 16-valve Volkswagen engine is looked upon quite fondly.  Examples that are in near-perfect condition really make our ears perk up, and this 1987 Scirocco certainly has done just that.  Without question, this Scirocco deserves to be our Find of the Day.

Traveling a verified 66,500mi since new, this Tornado Red 5-speed example is extremely clean, with no known rust and zero leaks.  Originally living int he northwestern United States, the car has had just three owners since new, and has never been in an accident.  Like all things that have a bit of age though, the Scirocco did pick up a few blemishes over the years, including some worn exterior gaskets, a missing front 16V emblem, and a slight rip in the driver’s side seat bolster.

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...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
