TRESER AUDI QUATTRO ROADSTER

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

Yes, the Cali company that did it was ASC(American Sunroof Corporation). Frankly, I think their conversion came out much better, In fact, I like it so much, I contacted them to see if they could do that to my Coupe GT. Of course their first response was that they never did any Audi converts. Of course when I replied that I was sure they did and included a pic, he forwarded it to the right person and got a response. The cost of having it done to my Coupe GT would have been prohibitive (they said over $100,000 for an exact replica). Eek! Oh well, maybe someday I'll find the prototype for sale...

Carter,

You don't for one moment think that the Audi-built Cabriolets are
non-re-enforced, do you? See, it Audi had done a "true" CGT-to-cabriolet
conversion, I am sure they would have done all sorts of body-stiffening
work.

The reason I believe they ought to have made one, is that the shape is so
classic for "convertiblizing" As is the type 44. The "wedge" of these cars
is so distinct that I believe they would have looked awesome. As a matter of
fact I have seen some Cal company that did a conversion back in the late
80's, and the FAW homepage also has the convertiblized t-44 on it, so they
must be building it in China.

Imagine a CGT Convertible, with the 4.2L V8..... Zoom-zoom!

car, and without the B pillar and C pillar, that car must have had horrible
cowl shake and flex.
