I found this today. Needs a new head gasket. I'm not sure what that would cost but this looks tempting. I'd love a sleeper. I'm going to call the guy tomorrow to get more info.

 

I love old school Audis. It would look hot sitting slammed on BBS RS's.

Let us know how it goes.

 

it's the old V8 engine that pushes low 300 i believe. it's a drive wire cable, go for it. i think the coilpacks are the only things that may give you trouble like the other audi V8 engines

 

i see headgasket i think beat the **** out of the car and not maintained properly... and if he blew the gasket then ur looking at possible warpage to the head and/or block possible valve float among many other things... id find out as much info as possible if i were you

 

Old school baby...i agree with phil too...hopefully he has some more info for you. if you do get it, post up some pics...

 

I'll let you know how it goes, I didn't put two and two together that a blown head gasket probably means the car has taken a beating. But the price is so tempting.

 

even if you dont get the car try to buy the roof rack its on 2 of the pictures ;p

 

Coilpacks LOL, try distributor. That engine is a classic and its A PITA to work on, i still love it though. An old school audi mechanic that i know has one of those but he swapped in a newer 4.2L motor in his...with a supercharger. Now thats a sleeper.

 

Damn, if i had more garage space i would pick that up. Its impossible to find those cars on the west coast, pisses me off.

 

I just spent 2 grand on my car the past two weeks on coilovers, wheels & tires. If I didn't I would have picked this up asap. If it doesn't sell within the next couple weeks I think I'll just take it.
