For those who have been watching my auctions this year, you know I'm in the process of reducing my car horde. I have a 3 year old son, and a daughter coming in just a few weeks. Plus we picked this fantastic time to move to Northern Michigan. So space and time are at a premium, and some things have to go. I've already sold off a 71 MG, my Scion XB, and a Toyota Truck. This go around, I'm selling one of my projects. I had hoped to keep this one, but I recently made a great deal on a 67 Camaro with a 454, so I'd rather have the parking space for that thing. I purchased this 2 years ago, and had planned on building it up to be my highway car for driving between Detroit and Traverse. As you may realize, I love my car's, and the idea of a nice big V8, that has AWD, and an amazing interior............sounds like a good thing.
If you don't know about the S5, here's a quick lesson. Its the GT version of a A5, which is a 2 door version of an A4. American's thing GT means Ford dumped a bunch of money into a crappy production car. It really means Grand Tourer. Overseas, they build high horsepower cars for long drives. Its ment to be very comfortable, able to go long distances, and pass a guy in a mini van towing a camper as if they were parked. Its not about smoking tires from red lights. All that said, the lovely world governments have restricted emissions, so now, the S5, is a turbo car. Makes similar power as these, but in my opinon, the V8 is where its at. This is the last year for the big V8 in the S model's. You can get them in the RS, but thats another 20K. The one has just under 14K on it, and sounds wonderful. I planned to do a new exhaust and open up those airways, but it never happened Obviously, car has some damage. I own classics, and new cars. NONE of my cars are stock. Even my wifes Subaru Outback has a WRX Suspension and Black rims on it. I just can't leave cars stock. So rather then gut a perfectly good car, I happened upon this car at an auction. Very minimal damage. You can see from the pics, no frame damage, no impact damage, etc. If you look at the pics, you'll see the aluminum from bumper brace. Essentially the real bumper behind the plastic valance. Its not dented up or damaged, I planed to re-use it when I put it back together. The story we got, car was Booted for being parked illegally. Owner was having some beverages....comes out gets in the car, shouldn't be driving. Decides to take off with the boot on the car. The boot tore up the passenger side fender, hood, front bumper, etc, and of course the slamming up and down tripped the air bags in the dash. The dents in the hood now are mostly from us ratch strapping the hood down. The car needs the passenger side wire harness (runs the headlights, fans, abs, etc NOT the motor harness) It needs the grill inserts for the front bumper, a new radiator, a hood, the passenger side engine harness and some odds and ends. Car's 80% done, just needs to be finished. Windshield is new, OEM glass, Yes the door glass is good, I just leave the windows down in case the battery dies. There's no key hole in the door! I locked it and had windows up, that was a pain to get into. As you see, I have the headlights (yes they have the HID Balasts on them) the tail lights, etc etc. The dash is brand new, thats the only way to do the bags in this car. Its actually one giant molded piece. And the reason the windshield had to be done, actually, the bags didn't break the glass!! We had to take the windshield out to get the dash in and out. I pulled the rear taillights and rear bumper to fix a small ding by the back drivers side tail light. Wasn't damage from an accident, I just figured I might as well fix the ding while I was at the rest of the car. Passenger side fender is an OEM A5 fender that happened to be painted the right color. Drivers side is an OEM Audi Fender. The wheels and tires are brand new. They have 0 miles on them. The wheels are replica R8 20in wheels, and the tires are brand new Khumo Escta's. Like I said, I planned to do some subtle upgrades to this car. My plan was to do the car with no badges, and a solid black grill in front. The 20's fill in the wheel wells very nice. Car runs and drives just fine. Its been a couple years, but we took it up and down the road when we first got it. And if you watch the video, you'll see it starts up just fine. I just know its going to sit at least another year if it stays in my garage, and I know this will make someone a fantastic car at WAY less then the 50K these are still going for. I can't speak to other states. In Michigan, the title is very easy to restore. We book an apt with a cop who does road inspections. The check the blinkers, walk the car, etc etc, and give you a form saying its ready to go. Take that and the title to the Sec of State, and they give you a new title. My understanding is, this can be rebuilt in any state. But you'll want to check that with your state. TERMS - Simple, this is a no reserve auction. No I won't take a cash offer. No I won't sell it for 2 mules and your 93 duster. You win the bid, you bought it. If you want to see it, email me and I can set up a time for you to see it. CASH ONLY. If bidding from out of state, figure out your funds. No bank loans, no checks, etc etc. I'm happy to work with a shipper, but I'm only available for pick up 9am-7pm Monday to Friday. Let me know if there are any other questions, and I'll do my best to answer them.

Audi RS3 spy shots foreshadow an ultra-hot hatch
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Not all vehicle prototypes and mules require heavy camouflage - sometimes they can be hidden in plain sight. That's probably what Audi was hoping for while testing its new RS3 wearing S3 duds, but thanks to some visual and audible telltales, our spy photographers were able to recognize this as a precursor to the marque's ultra-hot hatch testing near the Nürburgring.
Our photographer noticed the signature exhaust note of a five-cylinder engine, which suggests the RS3 could borrow its motivation from the excellent TT RS. Producing at least 340 horsepower, this 2.5-liter turbo powerplant could be the perfect answer for the new A45 AMG from Mercedes-Benz. The big brakes on this RS3 mule give us our best idea about the car's high-performance intentions, with Audi RS wave brake rotors and six-piston calipers peering out from behind the oversized wheels.
In production form, the RS3 should have a much different appearance from what you see here, with sportier design cues including oval-shaped dual exhaust outlets and a more aggressive front fascia. While we're still waiting for our first taste of the S3 in the North America, we'll be holding our breath for the RS3 to make its way here, as well.
Recharge Wrap-up: Audi R18 e-tron Quattro wins WEC opener, Toyota Mirai goes to DC
Tue, Apr 14 2015The Audi R18 e-tron Quattro has won the World Endurance Championship season opener at Silverstone. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer piloted the number 7 hybrid racecar to a hard-fought win in the six-hour UK race. "This victory is a dream start of the season and a great reward for the whole squad for the hard work last winter," says Audi Motorsport boss Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, congratulating the team. Audi's second R18 took fifth place in the race after a couple of unscheduled pit stops ate up precious time. Read more in the press release from Audi, below. Mini and Spanish designer Jaime Hayon are presenting new versions of the Mini Citysurfer electric scooter concept at Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy. The installation, called "Urban Perspectives" depicts an idea of the future of urban mobility. The imaginary living space houses two examples of the Citysurfer concept designed by Hayon. The first is painted to resemble blue and while porcelain, with dots and stripes to give it an upbeat look. The second uses more upscale materials like anodized metal, copper and leather to blend modern and classical elements. The foldable Citysurfer scooter can travel 10 to 15 miles on a charge, and is designed fit and charge inside the trunk of a Mini Cooper. Read more from Mini. Tesla has announced the locations of its first Superchargers in Australia. It will install eight charging booths at the Goulburn Visitor's Centre, about 120 miles southwest of Sydney. The Goulburn superchargers will be powered by renewable energy. Tesla plans to install a network of Superchargers in cities along the route connecting the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane south to Melbourne. Read more at Clean Technica.

Audi CEO's Dieselgate arrest threatens fragile truce among VW stakeholders
Tue, Jun 19 2018FRANKFURT — The arrest and detention of Audi's chief executive forces Volkswagen Group's competing stakeholders to renegotiate the delicate balance of power that has helped keep Audi CEO Rupert Stadler in office. Volkswagen's directors are discussing how to run Audi, its most profitable division, following the arrest of the brand's long-time boss on Monday as part of Germany's investigations into the carmaker's emissions cheating scandal. The supervisory board of Audi, meanwhile, has suspended Stadler and appointed Dutchman Bram Schot as an interim replacement, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Schot joined the Volkswagen Group in 2011 after having worked as president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Italia. He has been Audi's board member for sales and marketing since last September. The discussions risk reigniting tensions among VW's controlling Piech and Porsche families, its powerful labor representatives and its home region of Lower Saxony. VW has insisted the development of illegal software, also known as "defeat devices," installed in millions of cars was the work of low-level employees, and that no management board members were involved. U.S. prosecutors have challenged this by indicting VW's former chief executive Martin Winterkorn. Stadler's arrest raises further questions. Audi and VW said on Monday that Stadler was presumed innocent unless proved otherwise. Munich prosecutors detained Stadler to prevent him from obstructing a probe into Audi's emissions cheating, they said on Monday. Stadler is being investigated for suspected fraud and false advertising. Here are the main factors deciding the fate of Audi. Background: Audi's role in Dieselgate Volkswagen Group was plunged into crisis in 2015 after U.S. regulators found Europe's biggest carmaker had equipped cars with software to cheat emissions tests on diesel engines. The technique of using software to detect a pollution test procedure, and to increase the effectiveness of emissions filters to mask pollution levels only during tests, was first developed at Audi. "In designing the defeat device, VW engineers borrowed the original concept of the dual-mode, emissions cycle-beating software from Audi," VW said in its plea agreement with U.S. authorities in January 2017, in which the company agreed to pay a $4.3 billion fine to reach a settlement with U.S. regulators.
