[V8] Black interiors?

[Roger Woodbury]

Well as it happens I know of a 95 or 96 Avant that has no home.  My wrench
has "inherited" it.  It will need quite a lot of small stuff but is in
pretty decent shape other than some mechanicals that are wear and tear items
that are worn and torn.  This is an excellent candidate for a very
interesting project.

I am taking my wife's 100CS Avant over to pull codes and see which gizzie is
making it hard to start after running a while.  Crank or cam position sensor
most likely.  I'll ask about the fate of the A6 Avant and report back.

As uisual I know of such vehicals ;-)

The one Keith T (90 Lago 200 with a 3.6 motor) did that was FS recientley.
The owner Curtis.... who sold it & bought a Titan Grey 90 V8 AUTO... is a
lister now, maybe he'll chime in... Curtis?????

 & a Yellow 90 V8 (obviousley a repaint) that had a 200tqa rear section
grafted on is running around in Colorado somewere.. I think his name is
Brian Bassett?.

 There is a 92 100Q with a 3.6 running around in Minnesota.

 There has all so been a Champaine/Beige one running round somewere for the
longest time with a Ford Taurus rear grafted on.

 If one started such a project the perfect car would have to be a 96-98 A6
with a manual. Then you could turn the car into a //S6+ (plus) I would all
so add eather the front ends from a 92-94 //s4 or the 95-97 US & Canadian
//s6's. That would be... as the kids say.... the SHIZ NIT ;-)
