After 11 years of ownership the time has come to part with the best car I've ever owned. I purchased it in Oct., 2004 as a one-owner trade-in at Midwest Auto Group Mercedes in Dublin, Ohio with 49k. Originally a 2.8 V6 12v engine with 4 speed automatic. Dark grey Volcano Mica Effect with Platinum leather. 1997 was the last full year of the C4 chassis with the desirable later features such as one-touch windows and EDL.
Has spent its time with me in California and Arizona so no rust issues like many C4s. Approximately 200k miles on chassis.
As stock the car was not a turbo S and pretty sedate so after 6 years of ownership I decided to either sell the car or attempt to replicate the power plant of the limited edition S6 Plus cars from 1997. The Audi V8 has instant torque and the perfect engine for a heavy car like the C4. Thus began the quest to figure out exactly what the factory did and if I could build a reliable car and in the spirit of the Plus. Endless hours were spent on the internet cross-checking part #s and sourcing parts from Europe. 3 years and thousands of dollars later I had a running car. Now 2 years later and over 20k miles on the clock it is a reliable, powerful cruiser and deserving of an enthusiast to take her to the next level. There is an extensive build thread of the car on Project Pad here: http://www.theprojectpad.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1097 and also a complete description on QW here:

Too much to list here, I run out of characters. Have a look at the link, worth your time trust me. Taking offers above $10k, you couldn't duplicate this car for anything near that.
