The text from the site:
"Not only the engineers at Audi thought that there should be an Audi V8
Avant even if it is only one. This conversion here was done in the US using
a V8 automatic as a base. In contrast to Audi the metal-artist used the rear
of a Ford Taurus. If this an optical advantage, everyone has to decide for
him/herself. In all cases, he succeeded in keeping a Quattro detail: The
defrost wires still read "Quattro"! An interesting detail is the tunneled
antenna!"
