[V8] clarification.......V8 Avant

[Karl D. Middlebrooks]

Since someone mentioned wanting an engine-optional 200 Avant....there's an 
engine-less and tranny-less 91 200 20vt Avant available in Portland for a 
mere $250:

Black exterior, grey comfort interior (looks to be in good shape), ufo's. 
The drawback, as you see from the pics, is that the driver's side body 
panels are toast. I talked to the guy for a while, and damn near bought the 
thing just to have pull some interior parts and stuff, but storage is a 
problem. I'm only in Portland temporarily, and if I bring one more freaking 
non/semi-running Audi over to my friend's house, she's going to boot me to 
the curb.
