Default In a field find...what a shame

'85 Euro S 5-spd with 8" H4s and sport seats.
For a parts car, if the seats and lights are salvageable and the trans is good, you also get the Euro cams and heads.....

That car is in a very wet part of the world...... easily may have gone swimming. I spent a couple of days in the area looking at cars and the rain the humidity not to mention Hurricanes are all pretty hard on vehicles. But no doubt it once ran well

Just a real good "opportunity" for someone who want a project car.

Vin for ref, WP0ZZZ92ZFS840845

Sure worth twice the opening bid if its just intact, but needs some local eyes on it to guess much more.

Seats don't look that bad, and hood struts still work, engine bay appears to have some clearing done prior to it still a total mess pict. Something funny with the rub strips in the rear qtrs.

Somebody local with a trailer should take a look and make and offer before bidding gets going.

Definitely a "take a trailer" job for an experienced 928er.

If the engine will turn *at all* by hand with a 27mm socket on a long ratchet, and the timing belt isn't broken, then personally I'd enjoy making it run (Note - "making it run" and "restoration candidate for future driving" are not the same thing!)

Ironically, the paint isn't a write-off - its badly oxidised, but I've seen worse-looking guards red put back to shiny with a random orbital, a medium pad and some medium-cut polish, and other than the missing rear part of each rub strip, all the panels look straight.

This 85' Euro with LSD could be a better starting point. Its at an Audi dealership in Ontario, so Amy as well be in a field. Apparently can be test driven.
No Affiliation etc
Sad to see quite a few 85 86 us and euros in rough shape

Heated sport seats are pretty rare. Wheels are nice, if original and straight. Elevated steering wheel is rare.

Could be fun. Do you feel lucky?

If only I had the room, a great bunch of parts at least.
