1976 Volkswagen Scirocco
Found on Craigslist for $850, this 95K original mile, 1976.5 Super Scirocco hasn’t been on the road since 1986! Plans include a 2.0 liter ABA transplant and period-correct suspension and interior mods. This car is nearly rust free, but will need a total fuel, braking, and drivetrain refurbishing. VW only made 2,500 or so of these Super Sciroccos which were introduced midway through 1976. The “Super” came from the addition of CIS fuel injection— the first for a H2O cooled VW. They were all (very 70s) metallic goldflake brown, with bright burnt orange carpeting. The Super Scirocco also had unique seats, door panels, and opening wing windows. This car shares its underpinnings with the Mk1 Rabbit, so finding most parts is relatively easy.

What's this?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
