Matthew, I always have to remind myself that when Mopars started being restored and collected in the 90s, they were 20-30 years old. A whole industry came to be in twenty years around muscle cars.
Our ‘modern classics’ are the same age but our ecosystem of restoration parts and services is not coming up as fast. The number of baby boomers with disposable income who grew up loving muscle cars makes a big difference I bet. -Larry 91 GTI 16V From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mk2-16v] Interesting find in Jacksonville, FL Yes - The Mk2 Slorocco, especially the 16v was essentially a very overweight Rabbit. I had one and it was tonnes of fun - not as visceral as the Mk1 by any stretch of the imagination but much more connected than anything VW has produced since that time frame.

(Damn, I'm OLD too). I should probably keep this to myself BUT as a non-sunroof car, this restoration car would make a great racecar candidate (that is if the Mk1 Slorocco weren't such an overweight pig).
