All 48 state U.S. Sciroccos came with CAT, including
those sold in South Carolina  ;-)

So it is not safe to say . . .
===========================================
1978 & 1979 Sciroccos were NON CATALYST

I'm not sure about 1976-1977 Sciroccos (never owned
one).

1975 Sciroccos originally came with a cat, but VW
later got permission from EPA to remove them (I still
have the paper work on this somewhere).
