Meet Karl & His 1987 VW Scirocco! 

Back in the day when VWs didn't look like every other car on the road. They had a very unique personality. I used to sell them.

We had a 88 silver. We learn how to drive a stick with this car. What a perfect ride.

Anytime I drive my '87 16V, it turns heads and I hear people yelling, "yeeeaahhh, Scirocco!!!" Lots of smiles per miles! Mahalo for making this video!

Exactly the same as mine. Had it for 3 years right out of collage. It was one of the few regrets in life was selling it just to purchase a new 16V Jetta back in ‘94. Awesome looking car.

Had the identical 86 loved it ❤still do.

They were just so expensive then and corrados too. Pretty rare car

Thanks for always showing love for the Rocco community.. we are small in numbers but very passionate about our cars.. I’ve owned 3 in my life.. still own 2 currently and show 1 of them on the regular.. love your channel 🤙🏻

I cleaned the cosmoline off a couple of these when they were fresh off the truck. Drove a bunch of 87's doing dealer trades. 1987 was a great year for VW

They are called a C-Box FYI.

That is the best, and most original '87 16v I can recall seeing in years. My '87 is a one owner (me!) and I wish it was half as nice as this. You are right they are rare. The looks I get when they find out it's a VW are priceless! I see more Scirocco's at Mid-Ohio running SCCA H-Prod and IT classes than public roads. Truly a beautiful example, thanks for sharing.

Interesting VW Scirocco!!!

Super clean, I have had many mk2 scirocco's and still have the first one I bought in 1999.

I haven't seen a Scirocco that nice since they were new!

Had 2 87's one 8v one 16v, along with 3 16v gti's fun cars

I have one of these although in need of a resto... In Iceland. It is a US spec with the big biiiig bumpers and square headlights so it was no doubt delivered to a US soldier based here in the late 80s early 90s.

Such a beauty.

My first car back in 1991 was a 1988 Scirocco 16v. It was black with the pinstripe interior and tinted windows... and I absolutely loved it!! No matter how many Porsche's I've owned since (8), including 2 manual 928's, 911's including twin Turbo's, etc... that car will always not only have a very special place in my heart, it may honestly be the car that I've had the most fun driving. Thanks for sharing this video and gorgeous example!

Little Dude that is one clean rocky bomb!

What I love about this Scirocco, besides the styling and the red paint that pops is, it doesn’t have a bunch of freaking tech. I just installed new push rod tube oil seals on my 1978 VW Camper Bus because my wife said she smelled oil burning. Easy to diagnose and fix. However her 2020 VW Tiguan has a Oil Sensor Message with a little yellow oil can, and although I’ve replaced the oil, filter and three oil sensors, the light won’t go out. So I’ve ordered a $200 Ross Tech scanner from FCP Euro, and a service manual that comes in PDF on my IPad. I hate tech. I used to want a new GTI. I don’t think so. Her car’s owners manual doesn’t even tell me how many liters of oil to use to do an oil change. Don’t get me started. What was the original question? Oh yeah. Nice Scirroco! I need one of those 80s cars like my 1980 Rabbit that I bought new. I should have kept it. Rant over.😎👍

What a clean and original Scirocco. You are correct in the being a rare VW model.

You can tell Gary is fired up! Very cool.

#VWLife !! Good Times !!!

That is a truly outstanding car and in the best colour

Always loved those 16v Sciroccos. Beautiful example of one right there. Thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers from Michigan!

If this is a VW night at Top Notch Hamburgers, I'll go... "Alright, alright, alright!" Parv

Thank you for sharing these stories. ❤️🇨🇦

Love Sciroccos. Almost bought a white 88 16v new off the lot. I should have!

It's a beauty. :)

That water cooled "oil cooler" was first introduced on the waterboxer engine. What they do is actually help the warm up of the engine since the coolant will be over 200 degrees, but once the engine is to operating temperature, and the coolant temp stabilizes, it does offer some cooling to the oil, but not very much, since the temperature differential between the coolant and the oil isn't very much. So, calling them an oil cooler really isn't very accurate. Now, if you upgrade the cooling system, with a more effective radiator and fan, and lower the stock coolant temperatures, and can keep the coolant below 200 degrees, that little "oil cooler" will provide some extra benefit for oil temps.

Man I miss my mk2 scirocco

That car is sweet,my first car was a 1982 rabbit convertible the 80's vw water cooled cars were cool.

Good video guys. ✌️Peace from Melbourne Australia.

I approve of this Scirocco content, lol. I had a '89 MK2 Jetta GLI Helios Blue car back in the early 90s and it had the 1.8L 16v and it's a great engine! I should've never sold that but I didn't know just how rare it was. This was before the interwebs but I never saw another 1 like it at the time. I do have a complete Recaro interior and Helios seats to go in my '86 GTI though.

Man I've been thinking how good that fried shrimp is at the Top Notch, I love fried shrimp!

I have a '70 bus now, but my first car was an Flashsilver '88 Fox Sport. That 80's dash and instrument cluster brought back some memories.

Nice VW, I think Gary was in love, I don’t blame you, my era of cars too .

Bootiful car. Thanks so much for sharing.

That pop out cassette tray is awesome.

If I may ask, can I replace every mechanism and components of the scirroco into the Toyota celica supra Mk2 1986, because I love the Germania best engineering

My brother had a 1988 just like it. He took me for a ride in the mountains of Tennessee after he bought it and scared the crap out of me. Those cars were quick. Of course I was use to a 68 beetle.

Great looking car. I looked at that a tt and a jetta gli. At 6 ft 1 I only fit in the jetta. What an amazing engine. 200,000 miles and it was never opened except for the timing belt. My jetta rusted away but I'm sorry I didn't restore it with the 5 speed ac and recarro seats. But that scirocco looks great. Still love my cabrio though. Good feature VW Life, Karl enjoy thar car. It's beautiful.

nice.

Lovely car!

As always great content… I’ve owned 2 Sciroccos, a jetta , and 2 beetles… just love this channel! Always wanted a Conrado but when i was a kid just couldn’t swing it! Now i an on the search for a Westi Camper ! Great job fellas!

The 18-year old 1987 version of me wanted one of those pretty bad but it never happened. So yeah, thanks A LOT Gary for teasing me with a minty 'rocco 😭

Yah had me at RED! It's a beut clark👍🇩🇪

Nice to all the vw models...lookin for a phaeton...😉

So 80’s! I always wished VW followed the design and performance of the Corrado and Scirocco further, feels like they abandoned those products too early.

Hey what are you using for Editing and what computer do you use?..Love your videos!!

are such cars durable and easy to repair and last for many years?

azta,de szép!🙂👍

Bitchun!! Just Bitchun!!

Hey Gary pm me if you need parts for that Rabbit..👍

Thats a $20k car. I wish mine looked that good.

VOLKSWAGEN Gol gts or gti ?

Beautiful car but OMG ditch the US bumpers. The slim European ones are much nicer.

Pullout Kenwood...

I had one of these….it absolutely was not fast at all…happiest cruising at highway speeds…bumpers kind of ruined the lines visually…traded it for an Audi. The price premium made it one of the least satisying new car purchases I’ve ever made

Let me introduce you "Abby", the Cabby! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yDB28x7xbhE.html

Man I love the ROCCO but the huge US-bumpers are ugly as hell, sorry.

tmi

These US bumpers are so massive ugly... 😂

These ugly bumpers heart my eyes
