Speaking of 30 year old Chryslers, a friend found an '85 Dodge Caravan in the
ultra-rare NA 4-cylinder with a manual transmission. With something like 128K
on the odo, the mini-van is cherry and the perfect example of "rare and
completely undesirable". I remember driving those things when they were new
b/c my friends had one - my buddy's brother was in a wheelchair and that was
the only vehicle they had that would easily transport him. For whatever
reason, I was given the "privilege" of driving said mini-van which was new at
the time. Let's just say that the shifter (behind the driver and essentially
UNDER one's butt) left alot to be desired. Having driven tractors and trucks
later in life, they had MORE feel than the Chrysler mini-van shifters...

{}#yiv4243810316 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

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. On Tuesday, December 8, 2015 10:53 AM, Holland Phillips

I think you meant Mk 2 Scirocco, right?
'87 was Definitely Mk2... ~Holland On Dec 8, 2015 07:47, "'Matthew Yip' via

I have a hard time with "restored" - these cars just don't seem that old to me
BUT they're almost 30 years old at this point!!! (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). Matthew On Tuesday, December 8, 2015 10:36
