find of the day: 2002 Audi S6 Avant Manual AND RS 6 Engine Swap

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="66137"] words: Bill, photos: ninertriplezero via Cars & Bids This year, we finally got the C8 RS 6 Avant here in the States. For way too long, we've been longingly looking across the pond while everyone else got to romp around in the super Avant. However, one person took matters into his own hands. What you see here is a C5 S6 Avant that has been transformed into an RS 6 Avant and with a manual transmission. Be still my beating heart. Here's ...

find of the day: 1991 Audi Coupe quattro turbo S2 Clone

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="65835"] words: Bill, photos: Sopt_Built via Cars & Bids I'm a sucker for a Coupe quattro. I'm an even bigger sucker for a 2.2 turbo 5. Combine the two? Oh man. That's what you see here. This 1991 Coupe quattro's engine was swapped to the more desirable 2.2 turbo 5 plus it's in that quintessential Audi 1990s color, Pearl White.

find of the day: 1973 Audi 100LS

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="65732"] words: Bill, photos: Levi Tipcke In 1969, the first Audi model arrived stateside with the model year 1970 Audi 100. This car was the first of many from the Ingolstadt giant. In fact, the Ingolstadt production line was so overwhelmed, they opened another line in Volkswagen's Wolfsburg plant where it became the first water-cooled car produced there. The Audi 100 became the most successful model in Audi history up to that point. In 1976, the...

find of the day: 1983 Audi 80 quattro 2-door

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="65652"] words: Bill, photos: Marty Quattro At first glance, it looks to be a regular 4000 but do a double take and you'll see a couple of things missing. Two doors to be exact. What makes this even better (and rarer) is that it is also a quattro. How rare? Only 362 were made and this one found its way to Canada.

If you are not familiar with the movie Ronin...I mean, as an Audi enthusiast, you should be ashamed of yourself. Aside from stars like Robert De Niro and Jean Reno, the real star was the D2 S8. Go on YouTube (if you don't own a copy of the movie) and search for Ronin Audi S8. It will change your...

This was sold for $45,250 on 10/21/2021. Well this is different. I don't think I've ever seen a widebody S6 before...a couple of R8s yes, an S6 no.

I don't know the ownership history of this car but it's being offered by Throttlestop in Wisconsin. Throttlestop just happens to be a sponsor of our Wisconsin chapter so maybe one...

find of the day: 2001 Audi RS 4 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="64248"] words: Bill, photos: Mayor Cars After the RS2 Avant and the RS 6 Avant, the next lusted after Avant would probably be the RS 4 Avant and the B5 one at that.

find of the day: 2009 Audi R8 6sp…RWD

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="64068"] words: Bill, photos: Jay Dub I love the MK1 R8 especially the V8 model. I know the V10 is the lustful one to get but the V8 will always have a spot in my heart especially with that gated manual. But one thing both the V8 and V10 has is quattro. For years and into the 2nd gen, quattro was always standard until the RWS model was revealed in 2017. Some though looked at other RWD supercars and wished their MK1 R8 were the same. Take this 2009...

Many moons ago in a different life, I was volunteering at a United Way Day of Caring and our assignment was in a park in Nazareth, PA. It was hot, we were moving rocks the size of Beetles from one pile to another, and out of a crew of 7, there were only 3 of us moving those rocks. Needless to say, I was not in the best of moods.

Today, I get the same feeling because that design is so timeless and beautiful...and few and far between. I used to see one run around town the last several years but it has disappeared. Did the owner move? Was the Coupe wrecked? Did they sell it? Who knows but it's a sorely missed sigh...

Jeremy Clarkson called the styling deliberately hip and cool but in his usual subtle sarcastic manner. And of course that lead into the usual 'hairdresser' jokes etc. But enthusiasts knew that this Audi was special especially when combined with a 225hp engine, 6 speed manual transmission, quattro, and the ultimate interior:...
