Up for auction is a rare 1979 Audi Fox with no reserve. The car has 47,648 original miles. Has the VW fuel injected 1.6L 4 cylinder engine with an automatic transmission that shifts great. This car is mostly original and complete. A little history first, this car was purchased in 1980 by an elderly gentleman who kept the car in a garage when not driving it. He passed away last winter and the family decided to pass it on to me about a month ago. When I got the car home I put in a different battery and changed the oil and air filter. I cranked it over and it started up nicely and idled perfectly, a little loud as the exhaust system needs replacing. I let the car warm up and I then took the car down the road a mile and back and it drove very well. He undercoated the car and liked to customize with spray paint underhood and various spots around the exterior. Underhood he spray painted various items. See pics for details. All this effort has kept the rust to a minimum. The only rust through on the car is the bottom rear of both front fenders and the lower quarter panels. The floors and trunk pan are in great shape as is the inner fenders, doors, hood and trunk lid. The doors open and close very nice and solid. The bumpers are in good condition but do have spray paint on them. He used some type of adhesive on the mouldings and the rubber strips on the bumpers. There is grease or undercoating in various spots on the exterior. The car needs a thorough exterior cleansing. All the glass is intact and nice except for one small nick in the front windshield. All the exterior trim is intact as are the emblems. The interior is in fair condition. There is an aftermarket Tach installed on the dash that works. Next to the tach is a lot of glue on the dash, not sure why. Everything seems to work fine. All the gauges, lights, signals, switches and horn all work. The original am/fm radio comes on but no stations come in. I am guessing the antenna is disconnected. The radio is missing one knob. The seats had covers on them which started to disintegrate. I removed the covers and vacuumed the seats. The seats are still a little stained from the covers. The front drivers seat upper part has lost its foam somehow. The carpet needs replacing as it has stains on it. The door panels are in good condition. The car has a manual sunroof that works fine. The tires are in very good condition. The Audi should be inspected and tuned up before using as is. Certainly a collectors piece that should provide lots of smiles. The car comes with another complete set of wheels with winter tires. There is also a good spare with the jack. The rear trunk mat is gone. A set of four new CV boots are included as is the original owner’s manual and title. Very reasonable delivery is possible.
