[urq] The ebay urq

Bernie,
Well, congrats... and yes, I do know of you... only because the rumor was that you were considering buying the nice silver '83 that one of our local CO guys has up for sale.
 
Looks like a nice car... hope it works out well for you.
 
Dave

DJD sed:  I was following the white one... but the seller cancelled all bids
and ended it early.  Must have made a deal with someone.

The answer:  Why yes, you are correct.  Last week I decided to drive the 2+
hours up to Bellingham to see the car, as I have been shopping for a nice
example for a while.  Upon arrival, I knew I was in trouble, as the car is
very clean.  I came to an agreement with the seller, and this Alpine white
example now resides in my garage.

A few of you may know me, or of me.  I bought Duane Hale's converted 4ktq
right after MH99, and have had a lot of fun with it.  I have worked for many
years in the local and national clubs, and am now semi-retired from those
endeavors.  As I got more proficient with maintenance (and older!), I
thought I might be up to the challenges of an Urq, and so here we are.  BTW
I have been on the quattro list for many years, mostly lurking, and have
lurked over here for several years as well.  I've gotta say the s/n here is
about the best I have seen on any internet forum.

This car is really as nice as it seems from the ebay pics, and more.  The
car shows a long standard of proper maintenance and thoughtful upgrades.
Sure there are some items that need attending to, but if it were perfect
what would be the point?

OBTW the fusebox on this car is definitely under the dash.

Proud new urq owner,
