Used Car of the Day: 1976 Volkswagen Scirocco Track Car
Want to go racing for relatively cheap? This very much NOT street-legal 1976 Volkswagen Scirocco racecar could be your ticket to weekend fun.
For $5,750, it's all yours. You get a recently rebuilt engine, BBS rims, and brand-new racing tires, according to the seller.
You will literally need to bring a trailer for this car -- it has no title and cannot legally be driven on the street.
Check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The ad says 210psi on each cylinder - divided by 14.7psi (1 bar), that's 14.3:1 compression. That would be crazy - no pump gas there.
I had a ‘75 Scirocco that I got in ‘77. It was tons of fun and very practical for my needs. It did have a tendency for things to fall off of the engine, though like the EGR valve and the air conditioner.
