very interesting....thought at first it couldn't be an S...since it has the wrong steering wheel..but then I see that it looks like a S4 style total interior replacement....wanna bet the Rear Air is not functional haha......

So...how can one tell it's a 4.7 S engine vs. the 4.5 euro motor?...

Overall nice..but....it's an Auto..shame.....

Later,
Tom

Oh, I didn't see the extra photos.

Damn it. It's nice inside. The rear air is funny. Maybe it was converted?

Conversion plate says 4.7, and it's got spoilers (albeit the front one is missing).

Looks like it was repainted, maybe from black. Where's the engine crossover?

OK maybe $2500 is enough, if it's the original engine.

Are they 12 way heated seats?
Memory on both sides. S4 rear quarters.
Interesting very interesting.

And the best bit its an auto not a spoiled stick shift.
300HP and three gears - sweet.

Looks like a fun or terrifying project. Even if it's a dud. You could easily get the money back selling the upgraded parts. Too bad it has a slushbox.

Well, it's got the interior of a newer car(so rear air won't work). I think those seats are actuallt worth more than the car....

Engine is a mess. Where's the strut brace? Does look like a Euro S engine. At least the WUR is right.

This guy has a BIN of $1500. I was curious to see if someone rolled the dice on it.

this seller is not telling the truth... that car was sold at a salvage auction NOT a police auction!

I know this for a fact! I was bidding against him, I have more pics

Dual distributer Euros are 84-86 S2s with LH-jet injection. Single dist is correct for pre-84.
