Car Cave USA presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a 1983 Audi Quattro—an untouched barn find that embodies the golden age of rally-inspired engineering. This iconic "Ur-Quattro" has been off the road and stored indoors for over a decade. We were told by reliable sources on the internet that the barn dust made it worth more! Just kidding—we wanted to leave it in untouched condition so the next owner can see the project through from start to finish. An epic platform the you will enjoy getting back out on the road. Yes, this is a non-running complete project that will require work to make it road worthy again.

The exterior appears to be the original black paint with no obvious signs of a previous repaint. The paint does show its age with authentic patina, dents, dings, and scratches. Please view the walk around video in its entirety as we go over the exterior of the vehicle. Undercarriage photos can be provided on request. All original windows are intact and marked with Audi logos with the exception of the front passenger window, complemented by a replacement Pilkington windshield in excellent condition. The exterior design features the hallmark flared fenders, a type 85 rear spoiler, and the signature sloping roofline that cemented the Quattro's legacy in automotive design.

The car sits on factory 15" white Audi alloy wheels wrapped in 225/50ZR15 Pirelli P-Zero tires, which will need replacement due to age. The white wheels on the black exterior give the proper Audi 80’s look. Overall presentation of the exterior offers a solid foundation for the next stages of this car’s life.

The dark brown interior offers a snapshot of Audi’s early '80s luxury-meets-performance philosophy. While showing expected wear from 139k miles of use, the interior still presents well and is fully complete. The cabin retains its factory configuration and equipment, including power windows, rear defrost, rear wiper, and a factory sunroof. The interior shows Audi’s attention to detail and commitment to driver-focused comfort.

Beneath the hood lies Audi’s legendary 2.1L turbocharged inline-five-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission which puts power to the ground through Audi’s all-wheel drive system. Though non-running after its long dormancy, the drivetrain remains 100% complete, original, and intact. The Quattro’s pioneering all-wheel-drive system, a groundbreaking feature at the time, is intact and awaits revitalization.

The mechanicals, including the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain, will require inspection and servicing prior to releasing it out on city streets, track, or back roads.

Current odometer reading of 139,126 miles, this Audi Quattro is an authentic example of a performance classic. Acquired by Car Cave USA as a trade-in for a Ford Sierra Cosworth, this vehicle represents a true barn find, offering the chance to revive a piece of automotive history. The VIN WAUDC0858DA900294 provides an avenue for verifying its pedigree and production details.
