To all looking for a 76 Scirocco near Pittsburgh, PA
This guy has been looking for a MK1 and came across this 76.
After we talked about what to be aware of on the early cars he decided not 
to purchase it.
It looks like a nice project car for you east(rust)-coasters.
Below is his description of what he thought of the car.

>Sorry it has taken me awhile to respond...I did go and look at the 76 
>Scirocco about a month ago. It is NOT as owner claimed "can't be told from 
>new". It was originally Malaga Red but has been repainted in places. Owner 
>claims new calipers in front. Car has red plaid seats (pretty worn in my 
>opinion) and factory alloys (need to be cleaned real bad). Exhaust system 
>is new and engine and tranny appear to be original. Car still has carb, 
>but owner cut a hole in face of dash for a hand choke. I checked 
>underneath and could not find any rust.  Car started after a few cranks, 
>but I did not drive it, too snowy. I did not pursue purchase as the owner 
>told me he had been used car dealer in the past and he taught auto body 
>shop at one of he local high schools. I am restoring a 73 914 Porsche and 
>did not need another project car.  If the car had been "can't be told from 
>new", I may have gone for it. Overall, given the age, I guess it's not too 
>bad. car is still for sale as i saw it advertised in the paper this past 
>Sunday. If you are interested, the guy's # is 412-885-4655. He is asking
