Very close...it is an Audi w/Quattro, but a different model for a different event.

Well, the 2.1 litre indicates a 5 cyl engine, maybe one of the turbo IMSA cars that ran in the mid 80's? built on either the 5000 or 80/90 series cars?

Well, if it's a crop car, where I grew up that'd have to be something along the lines of a Chevy Biscayne, circa 1959...snows year-round on the back for traction and baldies up front for directional indifference.  Sedan, preferably with back seat removed making for convenient trunk-pass-through for increasing payload.  Six cylinder, three-on-the-tree, vague smell of fish/deer/feet/whiskey, couple of seat-springs sticking through the driver's side, broken windshield.

I betcha I'm close.

It is indeed a turbo 5-banger which ran in the 80's...but this specimen was not built for the IMSA series, and was not nominally 5000 or 80/90 derived...although being a race car, the pedigree in that regard is somewhat academic.

Close indeed. Interior pics reveal the seats (and for that matter most of the interior) of this car has been removed.  ;)

Before Audi dominated the IMSA series, they cleaned up the TransAm series with Audi 5000's (100's to us in the rest of the world).

Correct! Well done.  :applause:

This specimen was listed as a AUDI 200 Quattro Trans-Am. Slightly more info forthcoming, when I did my notes out of this pile of papers.
