    What a handsome car! Classic yet very un-German shape - it looks more Italian than anything. The thumb in the main picture on eBay is a nice touch. Reminds me of old family snapshots. Over 30,000 fastback coupes were built, so they're not that rare in Europe. However, if you need body hardware, Europe will have to be the source. It looks like old Audi 100s have a value of zilch in the US. This coupe might be nice at $5,000. Three times that? Crack Pipe, and that's too bad.

    I had no idea that Audi even made a coupe version of the 100. And this is a very handsome car, quite distinctive from the sedan.

    Neighbors had a new 100, back in the day, and I used to be fascinated by it. The husband would pop the hood so I could stare at the strange (to me) engine bay for hours at a time.

    As for the price? Ask me after I've found my lighter.

    While it looks like a baby Jensen Interceptor, if you drink a lot, and have someone punch you in the face until your eyes are swollen almost shut, $15K is about $10K too much, even in this condition.

    Old ≠ collectible

    A pristine 100 Coupe could be an excellent destination for the 4.2 nitrous'd V8 of last nights Ronin-mobile, the floorpan could be cut out to house some Quattro Torsen-diffy goodness, the standard wheels could be judiciously and subtly widened to make use of todays super-sticky Toyo-Proxes....

    But not this one. Find me a shed for a tenth that dollar and we have go.

    For now, scramble the crackpipecopter

    It ain't a Sport Quattro. That's about the only old Audi I could see dropping this kind of money on, and this ain't it.

    I dig the slant four. That's cool. Der engine ist too tall, Hans. Ve chood rez ze hood, ja?

    Nein. Ve lay der engine over.

    I'm cool with fore-and-aft front drivers, too. Transverse engines are nice for compact engine bays, but that's about all. I figure if you're going to do something like that, you might as well bolt the tower braces to the engine block, too. Nobody ever does that. So longitudinal is cool.

    It is pretty. But pretty, like girlfriends, wears out. What matters is, do you love it?

    I don't.

    @Elhigh: Actually, slant engines are a very German way to solve that problem -- look at BMW's inline engines, and the MB 300SL, to name what springs immediately to mind.

    ...and the Mopar slant six was also created for it's packaging advantages.

    Pipe. It is interesting and rare, but that doesn't directly correlate to monetary value.

    One would have to be a very serious Audi collector to want this, and it might worth looking into locating and importing one from Europe directly.

    ...and that dashboard looks like that of the W108, actually.

    Compared to the many o' crack pipes we've had for similar price, I think this deserves a nice price.

    Mainly being... Ya know, a sports car, and not something that is riced beyond imagination.

    As long as the title aint salvage, that's a nice price right there. I actually like the fact that he didn't pressure clean the engine, it means it's more likely that the wiring is still functional.

    That's a cool car, and it looks like this guy got plenty of fun out of it, so good for him. I want it, but I wouldn't buy it due to the cost of maintenance, the cost of insurance, the impracticality, and other boring realities.

    Lets see. What could I do with that $22,000. I could buy a Toyota Camry!

    NICE PRICE.

    (I, personally, wouldn't have the Viper. But the price is good, and Vipers are awesome sauce. I'd buy myself my three dream cars, all of which can be had for under $10k)

    Nice writeup, but no. For that, you could get yourself a much nicer, newer, lower mileage C5 Z06 with just as many torques and a few more ponies, not to mention superior handling. 'Nuff said.
