I had a 1984 4000S 2 door - it was my first new car and the reason I still drive Audi's. 
Sounds like this one is different though. Sorry I can't help with anything, and I hope you quickly find a home for this stuff.

> Hi Folks,
> I've been off list for quite a bit, but I'm back looking for some help.  A very good friend in the Philadelphia suburbs is entering hospice with not a lot of time left.  He's been an Audi mechanic for 30+ years and has accumulated a collection of cars, parts and tools.  He's asked me to help with their clearing out because it's not something his wife or daughter can handle and he's trying to get some more money for them and reduce their burden.  The cars are mostly project/charity cases I suspect, and I've got to find out their current condition (other than "in the yard"). My recollection is that there is a '82 Coupe GT (gold), '84 Coupe GT (black), '83 4000 coupe not the usual 4-door but a notchback 2-door (silver), a '85 5000 avant (white), and who knows what else.  Not sure what's happening with the Saab 96 yet.  I know he's got parts galore, but haven't had time to start any kind of inventory.  I'm going this weekend to start trying to look at things for him.
> At this point I'm looking for suggestions, other than 'tow to junk yard', for finding interested Audi folks who can use these either to refurb or as parts cars.  I'd rather avoid the Craigslist and public posting route if possible.  If no one is interested, that's where we'll look last, but I figure these cars can help someone keep their's on the road.  Not sure how rare the 4000 2-door is in the US but the only other one I ever saw was in Amsterdam.  Maybe it's worth rebuilding?
> He also has 30 years of professional mechanics tools in many rolling Snap-On chests.  Not sure yet what we're doing there, it may be sold in bulk or parted out.  If they become available I'll let everyone know.
> This is my friend of 20+ years and I want to help him to help his wife and daughter.  It's a lousy time, but this makes him happy and that makes me happy.
> If you are interested, know someone that is, could suggest a forum, or other place where this collection (or pieces)
