i recently met a guy who had claimed to have had a real UR coupe quattro sitting in a warehouse that is pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. i kind of figured he had a coupe GT and was mistaking it for a quattro just because of audi's claim to fame with quattro. anyhow i got curious and took a ride in the old 4000 quattro to go see if this was indeed real deal or not. when i got there to my suprise it was indeed a real 1983 coupe quattro! turns out he bought the car at random with hope of someday restoring it back to its former glory but he came to the grim realization that he would never get to even turn a bolt on it as he is up there in age and has many other project cars in front of this car. i offered to buy the car from him but he declined the sale as he said he wanted it to stay within his family. after he made a trip to my garage to see my VW/audi collection along with the quality of my work he retracted his decision about keeping the car in the family as he told that his kids would just pawn the car off and never do anything with it anyhow. so after weeks of talking about the car he showed up at my place with the car on a trailer, walks up to me and tells me its my lucky day. hands me a big folder and a set off keys and tells me merry christmas. The guy gave me the UR coupe quattro free and clear as long as i promised to restore the back to its original color and make it as perfect as the day it came off of the assembly line. obviously i agreed and that was all she wrote, i was the proud owner of a 1983 audi UR coupe quattro.
The car itself is pretty rough and needs a bit of body work but the floors and such are over all pretty solid. The car was originally helios blue according to the VIN number but some idiot painted the car white very poorly might i add. the engine has not ran in 13 years, i tried to get it running again but it will not fire on its own, i put new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, drained all the old gas and put fresh 93 in the tank, a new fuel pump but it wont fire in its own. if i spray starting fluid in it the car will sputter but thats all i get out of it. i am now considering an AAN swap into the car as the old CIS turbo powered engine is really out of date plus its impossible to find parts for in the USA. anyhow here's some pics of my catch.
The car came with all of the documentation as well!
This was the most shocking thing to find! i never knew a parts catalog like this existed!
This a post card i found in the parts catalog that looks like it may have came from the audi museum in germany!
