[V8] V8 engine swap to C4 Avant

[Bob]

Found the car on Auto Trader. Looks to be the real deal, it is a Quattro, and I think I see the heated seat switches on the center stack. It is a 1996, that's a 2 valve per cylinder and only 172 hp. Probably worth about $6k to $7k. I would look for a 1999 to 2002 A6 that has the 30 valve and 200 hp. It is a very good looking example of a very clean car but it is 21 yrs. old. A lot of old technology.

And then, as I am always looking (it's an addiction), I found a 1996 A6 
Avant in Ft. Lauderdale with 30,000 miles from new. It's the "proper" 
color: green although the interior is light gray or white-ish. It 
looks pristine and supposedly was an elder man's car from new, one 
owner, and from California. I have asked for some details. It's a 2.8 
litre V6 which is what my 100 is, so I know EVERYthing that can or will 
go wrong with it,and when as I've already been there and done that. The 
100 we have had 39,000 miles on it from new when I picked it up in 
Kansas City in 2001. Naturally they want about twice what ANY book 
value of the car says it's worth so nothing will come of it in all 
liklihood.
