The Volkswagen Scirocco was one of those cars for me that felt like we didn’t know what we had until it was gone. Now I find myself looking at the new generation Scirocco longingly when I find myself across the pond, wondering if those of us stateside may get treated to this sharp looking two-door sports coupe. Sure, it’s based on Golf mechanicals, but much like the original Mk1 Scirocco and the Karmann Ghia that preceded it, these cars were all about style being applied to rather lowly underpinnings. This Mk1 Scirocco for sale in Connecticut has some issues, but is a pretty solid example that could use a little TLC.
looks to be a downright gem, on its third owner with its original engine and gearbox and benefitting from an interior retrim. They don’t get much nicer, or OEM, than this.

MOTIVATED TO SELL. LETS MAKE A DEAL!
I have this 1977 Scirocco Champagne Edition for sale. I have owned it for 1 year. The VW mechanic who owned it before me had it for 1 year. Before that, the original owner kept the car in his garage under a car cover. This is a very nice example of 1977.
The car has minor rust on the corners of passenger door and passenger front fender and corners of rear apron. Its looks to have been repainted at one time in its life and the paint is very shiny and makes the car show very very well. Otherwise the body is in exceptional shape for what it is and includes all upgraded chrome trim. The interior is near mint. Dash has minimal cracking, seats were covered with seat covers until I got the car. The red plaid seats look about as new as they can for the age. The car is a Champagne Edition so it comes complete with Air Conditioning, though I have not checked it out. There are upgraded shocks and springs on this car, Koni (from what I can see). Runs at original ride height, not lowered or altered. I have a huge stack of receipts for the 35+ years of this cars life. The original owner owned a VW car repair shop and this car always got the royal treatment by the looks of the papers. I even have the original title and bank note from the purchase in 77. Odometer is broken but shows around 125K. Located near 06902. Motivated seller.
The pics are intended to show the condition of the vehicle. The engine runs well and sounds right. There is no oil or antifreeze leaking from this car. The interior smells dry and clean. Overall the interior can use a minor cosmetic cleaning. The exterior is nice the way it is or would make an excellent restoration. Fuel filler new has been replaced with good used piece. Windshield is crack free.
Please contact me with questions or for link to more pictures.
Will ship at buyers expense.
There’s a lot of other faster, newer, flashier metal available at this price point, but Mk1 Sciroccos are becoming hard to come by. This one is priced a bit optimistically considering the items that need sorting, but if the seller is flexible, this would be a great project for someone to improve on.
