For Sale: 1990 Volkswagen Corrado G60 in St. Louis, Missouri
1990 Volkswagen Corrado G60�Supercharged Extremely hard-to-find
Nugget Yellow (code LK1B) Black interior with gray seat inserts
1.8L supercharged inline four-cylinder engine Five-speed manual
transmission Only produced for four model years with just more than
17,000 examples sold in the United States Sunroof Active rear
spoiler that raises at 45 mph and lowers at 15 mph Recently
serviced with new tires The European sports car with the Volkswagen
difference has arrived at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, a 1990
Volkswagen Corrado made in Osnabruck, West Germany in September
1989. This is the very desired G60 supercharged model finished in
correct special edition Nugget Yellow exterior. This is a great and
clean example which are very hard to come by today as everyone
really enjoyed these cars but ending up trashing them.�The Corrado
was Germany's gut punch to the Honda Prelude, Mazda MX-6, and
Mitsubishi Eclipse. It's a type of vehicle that is now virtually
extinct, but proliferated 20 years ago from virtually all
carmakers, especially the Japanese. We look to the 1990s as a time
of modern comforts coupled with impressive performance and
experimental technology. The Corrado, among other cars of its day,
represents the pinnacle of these absurdly complex, cool coupes the
SUV-crazed auto industry doesn't have the guts to sell these days.
Dressed in the extremely hard-to-find Nugget Yellow paint and black
trim are in very good order, while the windows are clear and
crack-free. The rear window includes an electric defroster and a
back wiper/washer. The car's lights are in overall good order, as
are the new tires, sized 195/50R15, which are mounted on the
original wheels. The car's body panels are straight and solid,
including the sunroof. The engine bay is tidy, the bumpers look
very good and the battery is in good order. Beneath the hood is a
1.8L supercharged inline four-cylinder engine, buttoned to a
five-speed manual transmission. Known as the G-Lader, the term
comes form the supercharger's shape, which looks like a capital G
and its name in German, lader. The displacer's spirals are
2.34�inches deep.�Driver's convenience features include,
air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power mirrors,
power windows Inside, the black front bucket seats with gray
inserts are in good shape, as is the matching carpet, headliner,
instrument panel with its VDO gauges and four-spoke steering wheel.
The inner door panels are in decent condition, while the mirror
glass, center console and shifter are in good order. Completing the
interior is a VW Heidelberg AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. The
Corrado was a three-door�hatchback/liftback�with a�2+2�seating
layout that replaced the Scirocco in the Volkswagen lineup in some
markets. The car's floorpan is based on the�A2 platform�(i.e. MK2
Golf/Jetta) and, with the exception of VR6 models, all versions use
the subframes, suspension, steering and braking components from the
A2 model range. The Corrado is recognizable by its wedge profile,
flush mounted windows and active rear spoiler that raises
automatically when the car exceeds 45mph in the North American
market and automatically retracts at speeds below 15 mph or it can
be manually controlled from a switch in the cockpit. Launched in
late 1988 (three years before the end of Scirocco production), all
Corrados were�front-wheel drive�and featured�petrol engines. The
Corrado debuted with two�engine�choices: a
1.8-litre�16-valve�inline-four�with 136�hp and
a�supercharged�1.8-litre eight-valve inline-four, marketed as the
G60. The�Corrado G60�is named for the�G-Lader�with which it is
equipped, a�scroll�supercharger whose interior resembles the letter
"G". Another variant is Volkswagen Motorsport (VWMS) Corrado
16VG60. Although the 16-valve engine combined with the original
G-Lader was appreciated within the enthusiast community, the model
never saw series production. It is generally believed that only two
factory-built examples were manufactured, both in Nugget Yellow.
Competition to this Volkswagen in 1990 included Acura's Integra GS,
Audi Coupe Quattro, Chevrolet's Beretta GT, Dodge's Daytona, Ford's
Probe GT, the Geo Storm GSi, Honda's Prelude Si, Mitsubishi's
Eclipse and Nissan's 240SX hatchback. This car is currently located
at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 148,968 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a
clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! PLEASE
