For those wanting something unique, yet without the time, skills of funds to take on your own project, buying it built can be a solid strategy employed for vehicle acquisition. To that end, we've found a dealership in Sacramento, CA that appears to have a thing for off-road prepped first-generation Q7 TDIs.
Why do we say "a thing" for them? Well, they've got at least two similarly equipped Q7 TDIs in inventory with photos uploaded...

There's tasteful and then there's Goodwood Green (a.k.a. really tasteful). It's hard not to love Audi's take on the iconic British Racing Green theme that's a little darker and a little more gray. This green hue dropped in the early 2000s on cars like the Mk1 TT, RS 4 B5 and RS 6 C5. It remains 20-something years later one of the more popular Audi exclusive colors, so when it pops up on a new RS 7 we sit up and take notice.

The color palette of OEMs lately seem to be variations of white, black, or grey but every once in awhile, a color pops up that brings back from the brink of color blindness. This is a reported 1 of 1 Ipanema Brown Audi RS 3. Here's the ad:

We in the States have this [retracted] 25-year import rule so we can only look in envy at Europe and Japan at all the desirable models. Heck, even Canada has to wait for only 15 years. But good things come to those who wait (25 years) like this 1999 Audi S3. We obviously didn't get the 8L S3 and definitely didn't get the 8L S3 with this much power.

No doubt a sought-after piece for the garage of any Audi enthusiast is a vintage Audi dealer sign. Dealer collateral such as this tends to be worn and possibly damaged over time, but in this case it appears to be practically brand new. Even better, it retains the original box framing and lighting.
Near as we can tell, this is very early U.S. market signage, from the Porsche + Audi launch phase in the 1970s, but without any of the Po...

Awhile ago we featured a V10 swapped C4 S6 Avant as a Video of the Day and wish we had it. Now with today's Find, we can get an Avant with a big engine swap...a real big engine swap. Stuffed in this normal looking B7 Avant is a 6.0L W12. Here's the ad:

It’s a little known fact that Siam Beige was the least installed color when it was offered on the Audi e-tron as it launched in 2019. Call something beige and it’s easy to understand why it may get overlooked, but that’s not fair to Siam Beige. Somewhere in the neighborhood of Porsche’s Chalk and Fashion Gray paint codes, Siam Beige is an understated way to be decidedly different. So, when we saw it on this A4 allroad we took not...

We’ve covered this Frankenquattro before, and ran the story of its ’86 Paris-Dakar run on the blog yesterday. We did that in part because we saw Cars & Bids has offered it up for sale and likely timed with the 2024 Dakar Rally to get attention. So, if you’ve wanted to own a highly unique piece of quattro history, this car may very well fit the bill.

When the Audi S4 showed up in 1991, it was based on the C4 100. After 1994, the 100 name was dropped in favor of A6. The C4 S4 became the S6 and the S4 name disappeared for a couple of years. Way back when I didn't know much about Audi, I was so confused that I thought the Ur-S4 and the Ur-S6 were the same car...I was wrong and right. Anyway, enough of my rambling. This is a Ur-S4 Avant and here's the ad:

It's a fun job looking for Finds of the Day and while we mostly look for unique Audi street cars, lately we've been finding unique Audi race cars. This 2008 Audi A4 DTM (chassis no. 504) was driven by Tom Kristensen. Tom is a friend of Audi Club. He's been to several of our events including this year's Legends of the Autobahn and as the guest speaker during the 2019 Audi Club National Event in Washington...

I get a lot of grief from my friends because I stated once (ok...maybe more than once) that the B5 isn't my favorite generation. I tend to like the even numbered generations better but this...this has won me over. This is a 2001 Cactus Green S4 Avant manual transmission. Here's the ad:

No secrets that we love Avants here but I'll make an admission; I'd rather have an S2 Avant over an RS2 Avant (controversial, I know). Combine it with Ruby Red and there's no competition. Here's the ad:

It's rare when we feature an A4 as a Find of the Day but then again this is a pretty rare A4. How rare? A few years ago, Audi made the decision to stop production of manual transmissions. It was a sad day but this car is both a send off and the return of the A4 Ultra sport. No doubt Audi purists remember the original A4 Ultra sport built during the B6 generation. That very special sporting A4 featured unique kit that ma...
