So it looks like the red and purple ones are the same model?? Might be easier to get the red one going with the motor out of the purple beast....

Yeah looks like they are both early VR's, red one must have had the guards taken off..... How long have they been off the road ?

Man the VR6's must be getting rarer and rarer. Everytime I see another write off or something like these two I have to wonder. With under 800 to start with how many are actually left on the roads?

I believe they have been off the road for over 3-4 years each, the history I have quickly at the family bbq, was the purple auto is dead / the engine is "ok", the red one was driven into a creek, believe the engine is dead, and yet to find out what else. Want to rebuild the red one / fix up the current grey one out of the purple one.

Use that VIN decoder posted earlier in this thread, so far 2 of the 3 were built in Wolfsburg.
