Have you ever wanted to own a piece of rally history?  Well here’s your chance.

The 1983 Audi Quattro is the less volatile cousin of the Audi Sport Quattro and Audi Sport Quattro S1 Group B rally car.  Introduced in 1980 and brought to North America in 1983, the “Ur-Quattro” (Original-Quattro) is Audi’s first step into the rally world which it came to dominate for a short period of time.

This particular example is sporting a 160 hp – 2,144-cc turbo five cylinder mated to a five-speed manual, Audi’s permanent four wheel drive system and some rally flair like OZ lightweight wheels, Euro style lights and a MOMO steering wheel.

Here’s the full list of upgrades:

Stainless Exhaust
Eibach Springs
Koni Adjustable Shocks and Struts
Polyeurathane Bushings
Upgraded Brakes (91 Euro20V)
Euro Headlight Assembly
Euro Decklid w/wing
MOMO Steering Wheel MOMO Pedals
Polished and Ported
Harder Exhaust studs
Intake/Exhaust match ported
recent head w/larger valves

With just over 100K on the clock, this dealer is asking $9,995.  When you take into consideration the rally history, the presentation of the car, the upgrades and the fact that only 664 were sold in the US, I think this is a bargain.  But the question remains, is this Ur kind of Audi?
