1978 "time capsule"

[mkii_84@yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

Nice find.  You can probably send the scaned ad of it
and send it to Driversfound.com.  My mom found my
dad's 1978 Road and Track in the garage and it had the
Scirocco in it.  It was the lightest car and fun to
drive.  I submitted the article to driversfound.com
and its on there right now.  You could just email
Greg(owner of driversfound) to submit the ad.
