Interesting car FS



Just thought I let the list know that there is an '88 5kt Audi test car for
sale in Denver.  The owner isn't advertising it it yet, he just let me know
because he'd rather not go through the hassle of advertising, etc.

What's so strange about this car?  Well a few years ago it was bought at a
salvage auction here in Denver, supposedly it was one of the high alt 200
test cars which should have been destroyed after its stint as a test car was
completed.  It is titled as an '88 5kt, and the build date is in early '88
with '88 5kCSt badges.   BUT, the interior is all 200, with a few strange
twists.  There are definately factory sun shades on the three rear windows,
the rear looks like those found on a V8, but I have never seen side shades
before.  The grain pattern in the vinyl on the some of the trim seems
different than the 200s I have seen.  The front end has non turbo 5kt/100
grill and lights.  Color is dark blue with dark grey velour interior.

The condition of the car is good, not great, as the paint hasn't been taken
care of, but the interior was very nice last time I saw it.  It also has been
chipped and runs well.  The owner knows it isn't in perfect shape and said he
is willing to let it go under normal 5kt value.  Seems he just wants to dump
it.

So if anyone is interested, e-mail me and I put you in touch with the owner.
