This 1982 Audi Quattro is described as a three owner car with 79k miles from new. It looks sharp with Euro front and rear caps, sale includes extensive service records from all three previous owners, and the selling dealer notes that it runs and drives excellently. The description is fairly weak and does not include many component details like the larger rear wing, the wheel manufacturer, the big red Porsche brakes, the later Audi seats, or the Abt center dash binnacle. Find it here on Lombardo Motorcars in Berlin, Connecticut for $35,500. Special thanks to BaT reader Tim M. for this submission.

It goes without saying to anyone that’s ever seen a standard US DOT bumper equipped car that these smaller Euro items are a huge improvement. Speedline wheels are a good choice, but these 17 inchers are perhaps a touch large for ideal cosmetics–some white faced Compomotive 16″ five spokes like those fitted to factory cars would be perfect, or either of the great looking Ronals.

Smoked Euro taillights have also been added, and we see those on many modified Ur-Quattros in Europe, but we prefer the standard colored units. Box flares and factory graphics are very ’80s, and unlike many of its contemporaries these cars’ styling have aged quite well. A Treser steering wheel is a very rare and period-correct addition, and overall condition appears to be in line with that of the nicely preserved exterior.

These turbocharged fives make some fantastic noises and can’t be mistaken for anything else. Later 20V versions offered more oomph, but 160 HP feels like more than you’d guess when behind the wheel.

Color, condition and Euro market upgrades make this one worth a closer look if you’ve been after a good example.
