Vehicle description
1992 Volkswagen Corrado SLC
About: This is a 1992 ½ Corrado SLC (i.e. it has a VR6). Some folks believe that the SLC started in 1993 but it was indeed in 1992, replacing the under-powered and troublesome four cylinder G60. The exterior of the SLC model does differ slightly from the G60 as well, primarily in the hood, grill and headlights. One of the main differences between the ’92 and ’93 models being that the ‘92 SLC has the same interior as the G60 (and thus more parts area available for it). There were some cool things in the 1993+ like a better looking speedo and the center gauge console. The interior has been modified with a ’93 speedo and gauge cluster. Also, the 1992 VR6 uses a distributor and is OBD1 (or 1.5). The 1993 uses a coil pack. I’ve had this car for over 4 yrs, starting at 97,300, but have driven it very little lately and it is just past 103,000 miles. The modifications started at about 80K. T he car has a newly machined head, new valves, etc, and new distributor wires as of 4 years ago. There is very little that remains stock on this car. So if you’re looking for an unmolested example to mod, this Corrado is not for you. However, if you appreciate all (or most) of what has gone into this car, you’ll love it. It looks great from 15 ft away but on closer inspection you can see that it could use a new paint job, at least a decent respray. The clear coat is bubbling and/or peeling in many places. The Fiber Images hood is in good shape with a recent new clear coat. I am including the OEM hood which is in excellent shape except for a couple of small dings. If you can"t pick it up yourself, it is the buyer"s responsibility to arrange for transport. Performance: The car pulls strong all through the rev band, takes a lot of folks by surprise. You can even go deep into the redline if you wanted, since the rev limiter is removed with the GIAC chip. The suspension setup is awesome and it handles great. Most of the parts have less than 16K miles on them, ALL of them have less than 26K.

NOTE: If the car is shipped (as opposed to being picked up in person), I will only include what I can fit inside the car (i.e. not the door cards or hood). Issues: The car is almost 30 years old and it is not without issues. In the spirit of full disclosure, there are a handful of small things to take care of: · Needs new paint. Clear coat has seen better days. Miscellaneous door dings, paint chips, etc. · · Small bit of rust along a small part of the rear window (see pic). · Small ½ inch crack in windshield. It is hard to find. · Windshield wipers need to be adjusted; washer fluid bottle has been removed but will also be included. · If you want a heater, you’ll need to replace the heater core! Sometimes it is easier to find 3rd than first due to the short shifter. The speedometer reads 8 mph higher than actual. · Center VDO outside temp gauge is acting up. The car is sold AS-IS, Where-Is, and without any warranties of any sort. Please do not bid unless you"re serious about buying this. If you have any questions or want to see more pics, please email me BEFORE the end of the auction, I"ll reply back as soon as I can and will post all answers on the listing as well. Note: If you"d like to come see the car in person: I can drive you around myself but I can"t let you get behind the wheel.
