RE: Weird 87 5000 Quattro, ID help?

["Duff, Ian" <IDuff@charter.com>]

My wife had an '87 5KSQ, non-turbo, body color badges, and we had a
bitch of a time finding it in the Kelly Blue Book to figure out how much
it was worth, the insurance company claimed it didn't exist, the Audi
parts guy had a hard time finding stuff for it, typical Audi
between-years orphan. The VIN had it as an '87, not an '86 or '88. It
did, however, not have chrome strips on the grille, the only chrome on
the grille was the 4 rings. HTH.

	OK , my friend who dabbles in selling cars (mostly cheap, used
such as old
	Jettas and little hondas..) Well, he bought his first Audi (to
sell) and
	proudly introduced it to me.  I promptly told him it must have
been in an
	accident.  Why?  It had regular 5000 headlights.  But it gets
weirder.  It's
	not a turbo, which isn't that weird, but it is a S quattro.
1987.  I thought
	that all post 86 quattros (to 88) were CS quattros.  At least, I
had never
	heard of one.  It is a late 87 car, but has the older badges
(not new chrome
	ones) and everything matches up (he has the window sticker...)
It has the
	stock 5000Q 7 spoke alloys.  And it's white (another thing I
though weird,
	never seen a white 5000Q) not pearl.  So what's the deal?  Oh
yeah, he needs
	center grill chrome stripes (anyone get them?  one on top and
one on the
	bottom) The car is for sale, if anyone cares....
