1983 Audi Quattro (Ur-Quattro) A rare opportunity to purchase an Ur at a reasonable price. A solid example… but, t is in need of some work. The work I have done… Approximately 15,000 miles ago, rebuilt engine from a 1985 Audi 5000 was transplanted into this car (same type of engine with an upgrade of a timing belt tensioner) along with an oil & water cooled turbo from a 1991 Audi 200 20v. The shocks and tower bushings were replaced. Custom made stainless steel muffler from Germany. This car must have been made at the end of 1983, s it has many of the 1984 upgrades. The major improvement being the fuse box in the engine bay - see pic(I have seen many 83’s and have never seen this). It has a Momo steering wheel. Zermatt Silver and the Chocolate leather go together very nicely. Interior is in decent shape. That’s the good, an Ur speaks for itself – good & bad… but, ere is a list of the bad. Most of which should not come as a much of a surprise) The engine runs great and starts right up, ut under full throttle past 4000 rpms it sputters (guessing many of the air & vacuum hoses need replacement and probably a sensor or two). Secondary radiator in the grill has a pin hole. Center bearing on the drivetrain needs to be replaced. Brakes need some work… needs rotors (warped) & bleeding of fluid, tc. One window switch does not work. Odometer and tachometer have recently stopped working (cables probably need cleaning and lube). Sunroof crank knob is broken off (sunroof worked fine before the crank broke). Rear seat bottom has 2 small holes in the leatherfrom the seat belts (see pic). It needs paint… many spots of clear coat have peeled off. Driver side rear fender is dented (see pic). Some spots of rust… a few on the body andthe underside ofthe hood (see pics). There is evidence of somepaint work from before I owned it. Rear wing is cracked and old. Front windshield is cracked and will need to be replaced. Passenger side of the dash has a few cracks (see pic). Air conditioning does not work (never attempted to fix). The buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping. Returns not accepted.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_Quattro
