Killed B: 1983 Audi quattro

"Ur" is German prefix that in one of it's meanings is original, primitive or proto-.  Such as Ur + shrift (document) is Urshrift or original document.  The Audi cognoscenti a few years ago began to refer to the original "small q" quattro of the early 80's as the Ur-quattro.  The Ur-quattro was a ground breaking car that changed the face of rallying, ushering in the all wheel drive revolution. Original quattro values have been ascendant, so here's your chance to pay pennies on the dollar for a significant car that has a few needs.  Find this 1983 Audi quattro for sale in Seattle, WA for $15,000 via craigslist.

Are you John Buffum?: 1983 Audi quattro

In the beginning there was one quattro.  Not A-blah, blah Quattro, not Q-blah, blah Quattro, but just quattro.  And it was a game changer both for Audi and for the sport of rallying.  Factory rally cars are few and far between, but your next best alternative on your quest to be the next Buffum are the few road cars converted over to stage rally duty.  Find this 1983 Audi quattro for sale in Freeland, MI on eBay with bidding to $25,700 and reserve not met.  Tip from jim garfield.

20k: Original Rally Rat: 1983 Audi Ur-Quattro



The Audi Ur-Quattro was the original rally car for the masses and offered turbocharged all-wheel-drive goodness in an Audi CoupĂ© based package.  Total US sales were only 663 models in the 4 years of production from 1983 to 1986, making it a strangely rare car to find for a decent price wasting away on a local craigslist.  Find this 1983 Audi Ur-Quattro for sale in Malibu, CA for $21,500 via craigslist.  Tip from Kaibeezy.
