    Looking at a 1976 Audi 100LS

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I am looking at the car below as a possible winter beater and was curious to what experiences people had with this car. I dont know much more than what is advertised as I am waiting for a return call, but any feedback would be great. Thanks in advance.

    1976 Audi 100LS Clean and drives well

    I have a 1976 Audi 100LS. Overall this is an awesome and very rare Audi to drive that has proven to me it is quite reliable when maintained properly. If you want a piece of vintage Audi history this is the car to have.

    -Front wheel drive automatic transmission
    -CIS fuel injected 4 cylinder engine with freshly rebuilt head and new head gasket
    -4 door sedan

    This car has weathered some wicked 2006 storms (blizzards) when I lived in Colorado Springs passing by 4x4 trucks that were stuck in the snow. I still have the set of chains with the car.

    The good:
    -rebuilt head with re-machined face, new seats, guides, seals, etc and a new head gasket ($500)
    -All doors, windows, door locks, and handles work
    -Very solid and clean body with very little surface rust you have to look close to find
    -Trim and wheel covers are all there with the car
    -All lights, signals, heat, defrost, and horn work
    -All glass is good
    -Solid state ignition installed in distributor so you don't have to set the points when doing tune ups
    -Couple year old radiator taken from a new box
    -New spare water pump, valves, guides, engine gasket set
    -Set of 3-ring binders containing factory service manuals
    -Couple year old tires with less than 6000 miles on them
    -Passed emissions in Colorado Springs a couple years ago when I got the collectors plates put on it (before the head was rebuilt and it runs even better now.


    The bad:
    -Sunroof needs some tlc it does not leak but it won't crank back and forth any more
    -body could use new paint
    -the origional seats are in need of re-upholstry
    -This is a 32 year old Audi which means there are some parts that are difficult to find but with some web searching and emails the parts are still out there. I have some email contacts I can give over with the car
    -Needs new front wheel bearings (about $80 worth of parts)

    Call if interested Asking $1000 OBO

    I am getting more and more hooked on this car. I cant wait to look at it Saturday and hopefully take it home with me at the same time.

    Anyone able to point me in the direction of parts other than Ebay?

    don't mean to burst your bubble, but those 70's audis were pretty problemmatic (as were most 70's cars).
