Volkswagen Corrado 16V

Selling my beloved 1990 VW Corrado. This car has been rebuilt using the much sort after GTI MKIII OBD1 Block, which is 16mm taller and uses rods that are 15mm longer giving it a better rod ratio and a better torque band. It also has a crossflow cylinder head with large very nicely cast ports and smaller 7mm valve stems. The car also has an upgraded 16V head from a GTI. I've recently had the alternator rebuilt and new starter installed along with a redtop optima battery. Please email me with any questions, I made an attempt to list all parts/accessories below. All electronics work in the car, including the rear spoiler motor. The body has roughly 112k and the built motor less than 10k. The car runs/sounds great and pulls hard. It has been garage kept and meticulously maintained over the past decade between myself and previous owner, please bid with the confidence of buying the car.

Things the car needs: It could use a Dyno Tune to optimize performance and setup to driver needs. My best guess is the car is putting down at least 350whp.
Disclaimer: I do not recommend this car as a daily driver. If you’re the type of person who cannot resist the urge to mash down the accelerator in traffic, I think you're better off purchasing another toy. The car is ideal for weekend driving/admiring, car meet-ups, and controlled track/drag with safety in mind. It pulls incredibility hard and handles/brakes extremely well for an experienced performance driver (i.e. no advanced driver assistance systems - ADAS). Again, please feel free to ask questions - serious inquires only, I will be very selective with test drives due to the nature of the car. I am not trying to overstate the car, it’s super fun and nostalgic for most.
