0 0 1 1327 7567 Farina & Associates LLC 63 17 8877 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Among the 667 (+/- 1 or 2) ur-Quattros imported to the United States from 1982- 1985, the 84 models (65 cars) and the 85 (73 cars) are the rarest, the rest being sold as 82/83 models. The 85s are generally considered the most desirable due to the incorporation of a considerable number updates several of which began with the 1984 models and numerous others that were unique to the 85. Almost all who have seen this car say it is among the cleanest and nicest unrestored original spec quattros they have seen. While repainted in the original color by the previous owner about 3 years ago, the well kept interior is original as is most of the car in the context of normal use and maintenance. It also has some desirable upgrades such as European lights and bumper treatement, as well as well as invisible upgrades such as brakes, a short shift kit and R-134A A/C . In summary it is an outstanding example, one of 73, rare among the rare Quattro Coupes While not a hangar queen, it is extemely clean and beautiful and runs as good as it looks. There is no evidence that the car has ever had any rust. There are no leaks, and with that wonderful 5 banger sound, my mechanic in Boulder who has worked on these cars since the late 80s said it is one of the best running WX 10 valve cars he’s ever driven. I have had the car for 2 years this week. I am the 4th owner (all documented) The car has been in Colorado/California since 1991/92: First Owner 4/15/85 - 1991/92 Mileage at transfer about 6000 Second Owner 1991/92 - 7/2/2012, Mileage at transfer about 107K Third Owner 7/2/2012 – 9/26/13 Mileage at transfer 114600 Current Owner 9/26/2013 – present - Current mileage is 117465 The drive train is original however, the car has had some recent extensive maintenance. About 3 years ago the previous owner had the head rebuilt and the original turbo rebuilt. He also installed new brakes and rotors (with dual piston caliper front brakes), replaced all of the CV joints, water hoses, etc.installed a new hydraulic slave cylinder, and had the A/C rebuilt. In addition to the major mechanicals he paid attention to detail such as restoring the original stereo cassette player and putting the cruise control in proper order. In February , 2015 I had the timing belt, water pump, alternator, and drive belt replaced. Upon having the A/C ,which works great, charged, I had it converted to R-134A from R-12 freon. The modification is invisible and the car cools like my newer Audi, without heating up in traffic. The car is a joy to drive and is a people magnet wherever it goes. I had 2 of these back in the late 80s and early 90s and prayed for snowstorms in order to go for rides in the mountains, or winter road trips ( a fellow skier name the cars “snow missiles").I guess I have decided to sell it because I shamefully found myself not taking it out skiing or in snowstorms because I found it “too nice” to be driven when it of course an outrageous rallye car should be. The car is equipped with almost all factory options (e.g. it doesn’t have the Canadian option)and comes with original books and receipts from all four owners Optional Data Rather than go through a discussion of the differences of the 85 model from the rest of the pack, for those who might be interested in specifics I have included below a series of general descriptions of the 85, 84 and 82/83 models from a great web page last revised in 1997 but that no longer exists entitled “The US Model UR Quattro Model Year 1985 The 1985 model has proven to be the most desirable with only 73 imported to USA. Many of the updates the1984 cars has were also carried over to the 1985 cars including the optional 15 by 8 inch Ronal R8 16 spoke wheels with 215/50VR15 tires, wider rear valance, 'rolled' inner fender edges. The 1985 did receive an updated interior, which included a new style black dash that was shared with the 4000/4000Q/Coupe GT. The differential lock switch was changed to a rotary knob that was also used in the 4000 quattro. Located next to the differential lock switch were voltmeter and oil temperature LED bar-graph displays. To help eliminate trunk strut problems and lighten the car, a Kevlar trunk lid was introduced which was painted body color. The rear spoiler was also painted body color. The front grill was now sloped like the 4000/GT models but the headlights were still 4 sealed beams The 'Audi' and 'quattro' labels on rear deck were now plastic instead of decals. The rear window now had 'quattro' spelled out in the rear defogger lines. As on the 1984 model the rear bumper doesn't have bolt holes. EXTERIOR/INTERIOR COLOR CODES 08.01.1984 >> 07.31.1985 MODEL YEAR 1985 F 85-F-90001 >> 85-F-901500 DESCRIPTION STONE GREY-METALLIC / PLATINUM Model Year 1984 The 1984 model is the rarest Quattro with only 65 imported to USA. Starting in 1984, the ur-quattros were equipped with the desirable 15 by 8 inch Ronal R8 16 spoke wheels with 215/50VR15 tires. The rear valence was widened to cover the larger wheels. The factory also started to 'roll' the inner fender edges to eliminate tire contact with the body. The 1984 models had a restyled dash, which is only used for this model in this year. It is brown in color and has a carpeted center console. The door pockets are full length and carpeted. The differential lock still uses 'pull' style switch. The A/C is now controlled with an on/off switch by the sliding vent controls. The electrical system is improved with the fuse box now located under hood on drivers side. The interior still has the 83 style diagonal stitching on the seats and door panels. And also like the 83 it has silver 'quattro' stickers on rear side windows. The rear bumper doesn't have bolt holes like the 83 model. Model Year 1982/1983 The 1983 version of the ur-quattro is the most common. There were 289 imported into the US as 82 models and 240 as 83 models. The 1982/83 cars had 15 by 6 inch Ronal R8 16 spoke wheels with 205/60/15 tires standard. The Quattro drivetrain included vacuum operated center and rear differential locks with a 'pull' style switch. The front grill was vertical with 4 headlights. It had an older style dash with plastic center console, brown in color. The aftermarket ABT dash fits these years. The interior has diagonal stitching on the seats and door panels and half-length plastic door pockets. There are silver 'quattro' stickers on rear side windows; the upper portion of the trunk deck was painted black. The trunk lid also had a black rubber rear spoiler. Some late build 83s have an improved electrical system with the fuse box now located under hood on drivers side. The rear bumper has 4 bolt holes for access to the bumper shock bolts. There are also rear reflectors are located on the body under the rear taillights. On VIN D0542, the suspension was changed to the 4000 quattro style. At this point, the rear sway car was eliminated and the size of the wheel bearings changed.
