A sporty Rabbit - AMT Scirocco out of box

If I remember right from having an 024 Omni back in around 81-82, they had the Scirocco engine.

My ex wife's first car was a vw rabbit Wolfsberg Volkswagen convertible.  cool little car.

I always liked the looks of the Scirocco, but the original Golf/Rabbit GTI was a genuine blast to drive in a time when cars were slow and boring and really pretty ugly.

My very first brand new car was a 1984 Wolfsburg Edition VW Rabbit with 4 speed, AM/FM cassette and a sun roof (old style that rolled back into the roof). No AC so when I entered active duty in that car at Fort Knox, KY in July, it was hot as heck.

Sold it when I got to Germany in 1988 and bought a Mitsubishi Montero.

I've got the original AMT Rabbit I built circa 1984 and bought another unbuilt one a few years back on eBay.

My original Rabbit kit was molded in that same red plastic. My car was silver and it took some work to cover the red.
