Time to sell the car I always wanted. It is a 'rare' beast and I'm sure if you are looking at the car you know the extensive history of the URQ's. History on the car...1st owner had it for 6 years, 2nd owner had it for 21 years, 3rd owner (myself) & I have owned it for 7 years. It was a California car most of it's life then moved to New Mexico where I purchased the car in 2010. There is absolutely 'no rust' on the car, accident free, original paint & interior in very nice shape for the age. Garage kept! It has tan leather interior w/out any rips or tears. I have documentation of repair history that totals over $27,000! The list is quite extensive, here is just a few of the things performed... Valve job2 Bennet radiatorDiff actuatorsMaster cylinderTiming beltWater pumpFuel filtersFuel pumpStarterBatteryCross drilled front rotorsAlternatorNew windshieldEtcIt is all stock except for the 2 Bennett radiator the second owner installed. Current mileage is 78,706. The second owner had it stored and not driven for 14 years during the 22 years he owned it. Hence when he decided to drive the car again he incurred some extensive repair costs. I have, since owning it gone through and sorted out most all of the gremlins. Lots of repair/technical manuals included in the sale + extra spare parts. Car runs GREAT with lots of power and wonderful feel of the road. THANKS FOR LOOKING/BIDDING!

In the Ur-Quattro's first appearance, (Ur is German for original), it was used as a course car to clear the roads in the 1980 Algarve Rally in Portugal. Had it been entered, it would have won by 30 minutes. The car's aggressive good looks didn't translate to the inside, which looked almost identical to a 4000 sedan. Most U.S. cars had leather seats with diagonal pleating. The boost gauge and the differential control knob in the console were the only giveaways to the special nature of the car. The Quattro inherited an acceptable rear seat from the ordinary coupe, but U.S. cars missed the updated single-lens headlights of the Euro cars, making do with four square sealed-beam units. Several Quattro enthusiasts retrofit the Euro lights and add a set of round driving lights. The five-cylinder, 172 brake horsepower, DOHC turbocharged motor applied power to all four wheels evenly, through a brilliant center differential. The A1 and A2 versions of the Quattro coupe quickly dominated the World Rally Championship, winning three races in 1983 and five in 1984. In 1981, Audi driver Michele Mouton was the first woman to win a WRC rally, and won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 1985. For 1984, Audi developed the Sport Quattro S1 Group B rally car, which bore little relationship to the Ur-Quattros. The body was made of carbon-kevlar, the wheelbase was chopped 12.6 inches, wheels were wider and arches flared. Competition models produced 444 horsepower, while street versions made do with 302 horsepower. In all, 224 Sport Quattros were built, costing four times the price of the A1 and A2 Quattros, at 203,850 German Marks. An even faster S1 E2 model was introduced in 1985, with competition cars producing over 500 brake horsepower, through a high-speed turbo that diminished turbo lag by utilizing a recirculating air system. The Group B rally cars gained even more outrageous bodywork with a sloped front spoiler, and huge rear wing to improve down-force. After a string of accidents, the "Killer B" rally group was cancelled at the end of 1986, when it became apparent that even the best drivers couldn't keep up with these pocket rockets. The final versions of the S1 E2 used a "power-shift" gearbox, which is the forerunner of the DSG dual-clutch technology used today. At 591 horsepower and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, Sport Quattros are some of the most powerful rally cars ever built. For the Group B swansong, Audi driver Walter Rohrl took a 1986 team car to Pikes Peak in 1987, and swept the board. Although considered relatively exotic when new because of its drivetrain, there is very little to the Quattro that seems exotic today. Like most early turbos, post-shutoff heat soak could cause oil to cook, which will ruin turbo bearings and impellers. New or rebuilt KKK turbos are shockingly expensive, and allowing a cool-down period of several minutes after a hard drive is advisable. Blown head gaskets are also a family flaw in Audi engines, and electrical issues and brake booster problems are common. The short-wheelbase, high-horsepower Sport Quattro will always steal the limelight from its older brother, even though it wasn’t obtainable in the U.S. However, Ur-Quattros appeal to an emerging generation of collectors, and perfect examples are becoming more expensive. Vehicles that were used as daily drivers and now require a bit more work are still relatively easy to locate." ng-class="" ng-click="vm.trackHemmingsLink($event)" notouch="" hvt-set-active="vm.isActive"> Audi was not the first to offer an all-wheel-drive sport coupe—Jensen briefly offered the FF in the late 1960s and early 1970s—but Audi brought the concept to the mainstream with the Quattro. They promoted it by successfully integrating all-wheel-drive into their main product line and subsequently dominating the world rally scene. Developed in the Scandinavian snow during 1977 and launched at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, the all-wheel-drive Audi Quattro rewrote the rally books.

When I purchased the car it did not run nearly as well as it does now. I knew of an Audi mechanicthat was factory trained on these cars (that era) and I felt confident buying the car and being able to work through the issues that were present or would arise. Granted there a couple of things that the newowner will inherit...-There is a brake warning light on - not sure if it relates to the brake booster or needs new pads (not knowing if there were sensors back then?) The brakes perform fine as they should.-I disconnected the automatic door locks as there was/is a vacuum leak in the lines some-where for that system alone. Reason being was that when the doors were locked the vacuum motor for the system ran constantly and therefore would drain the battery after time. The doors lock work manually just fine.-Steering rack leaks a little...perhaps why the brake idiot light is on from a lack of pressure? -The coolant light in the dash shows faintly but does not indicate any problem. Coolant has been flushed.-The tires are in good shape but have been on the car for years. New set in order perhaps?-No smoke -There is a fan that comes on when you first start the car and goes off once the car is warmed up,not sure if that is the way it's supposed to be. Fans do function as they should when car is driven.-Currently the blower fan for the heater is not operative. Taking the car to my mechanic to remedy that one tomorrow.If I cannot fix the blower fan by the time of sale I will deduct a fair agreed amount off the total selling price.I have ALL service records from myself and the previous owner which is over $27,000.No engine leaks, I perform the oil changes and replace both filters as required. Car is 34 years old & I feel it is in between the Good #3 & Excellent #2 Hagerty current values as mentioned in the listing copy.On Feb-21-17 at 19:44:43 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE 2/21/2017:Ok, good news! Remedied the Hvac blower issue, now works as should be! Plus, I fixed another issue not mentioned but was in the works. The throttle peddle had a bushing that a was felt/rubber combination that deteriorated over the past 34 years. I was able to find a proper replacement that fit perfectly to replace the old one. Total cost of repairs today...over $400! Reserve remains the same. Good luck to you guys...may the highest bidder win!!
