Background:
Made in 1982 in looks remarkably sporty for the time and its big brother the Quattro certainly helped push that image. This car was was painted in Surinam Red which was a $285 option when made and optioned with the D92 Option Group from the factory. The dealer then took the optioning further and installed Thermo Guard, abric Protection, loor Mats and Custom Pinstripes. Of course the car cam standard with a number of features like fuel injection, ront disc brakes, lloy wheels, ower steering, port seats and more. This car sold new for $16,020 or $39,000 in 2016 money! This wasn't a cheap for a small sporty car for sure.Everyone loves documentation on cars, ncluding us. So to really make this special, e have the original window sticker, riginal dealer sticker, riginal payment receipts, arranty cost sheet, wners manual and more! The car will include an extra set of wheels, ervice manual and documentation!
Let's dive into the car further.
The Condition and Service:
Let's start on the engine and drivetrain:
-ENGINE
This engine comes to life immediately with a twist of the key. She warms up quickly and revs smoothly. No knocks, angs, xcessive smoke or internal issues. The Bosch fuel injection is in good working order, ut perhaps could a little tune. Nothing major though. Little moisture underneath, ut nothing major or drippy. It happily drives around just fine as-is, o enjoy it as is or you can take care of some small fine tune items and really hum! Only 70k Carfax verified miles! That is only 2k miles per year on average!
-TRANSAXLE
The 5 speed transmission is in great shape. No grinds or surprises.
-SUSPENSION
Nice riding Coupe, othing clunking itself apart like many of them and Audi comfortable.
-BRAKES
Good pedal, ad and rotors have good life in both front and rear
-STEERING
Steering feels good, o excessive play or vibrations.
Let's continue to the exterior:
-PAINT and BODY
The paint is fairly nice! It is a 6 out of 10. Overall shiny Surinam red paint which looks quite nice. No signs of a bondo job or accidents. CLEAN CARFAX! Nice for an original paint car, ts only flaws come in the form of a couple minor dings/scratches etc, ome sand blasting near the tires, ome chips etc, nd general wear. NO RUST. There appears to have been some paint touch ups as well. Good floors from underneath, ome light oxidation on suspension components as per typical of all cars. This car presents as a "Driver -". cosmetically, ut really looks quite nice none the less.
-WHEELS/TIRES
Both are in nice shape with no major flaws. Tires have loads of tread and are newer. Wheels have some chips, laws and light rash but nothing major.
-BUMPERS and BRIGHT WORK
The bumpers are in nice shape! No major dents, racks or issues! Some minor dings, hipping of paint, nd light fading.
-SEATS
The brown checkered seats are supportive, ith great bolstering. They have some fabric tears as seen in the pictures, nd have been under covers for some time, ut the covers were removed to show the true shape of the seats. While not great shape, hey are solid without any foam missing and are comfortable to enjoy the drive in. The rears are in very nice shape! Don't let the minor tears distract from the interior, verall it is quite nice, specially for a 34 year old car!
-DASHBOARD/PACKAGE TRAY
Nice shape, o major flaws, few hairline cracks as photoed. The tray is in great shape and is clean.
-DOOR PANELS
Nice panels, onderful map pockets. Really nice.
-CARPET
Nice carpet in the car! Clean and no tears.
-WINDOWS
All windows roll down and up with no issues. Good tracks and no dead rollers.
-GAUGES
All the gauges work! Speedo, do, emp and gas.
The Experience:
This GT Coupe is a treat to drive. It is fun, uirky, easonably comfortable, imble and smooth. It has all the power it had from the factory and then some, nd from even a little gas is responsive. It is so easy to fall in love with this Coupe. It is fun to look at, un to drive and you make friends wherever you drive! I find myself in odd cars all of the time, rom the hyper expensive and rare, o the quirky, o the mundane. This Coupe seemingly always gets more thumbs up and questions then any other car. In a short drive just to photo it the other day I think I was stopped/waved at 3 times. There is something about a an old Audi! They were somewhat of an odd duck at the time and the rarity to see one on the road really makes for interesting piece of German car history. And that feeling is even greater as a driver then an onlooker. I hope you can tell by my long ad that this car is an great little Audi Coupe. This really is a very special car to drive and with the ongoing care within the collection, t is a worry free Audi, eady to be enjoyed! The minor cosmetics are easy, ow hanging fruit on this car and with a solid driveline could be tackled while driving and enjoying the car regularly. Nice original car to enjoy as a period piece or as a father/son restoration!
