This car is for parts only, it does not start, the title is void, the owner has died (see below for details).
I purchased this vehicle from a friend about 2 years ago. He picked it up from a neighbor of his in July of 2010 and never titled the car while he attempted to fix it. Story is the car ran when it was parked and would not start again. New crank sensor was installed, no luck, several other things checked, couldn't find the issue. I found out about it and having a love of older Audi's, I always love a challenge, especially when you can pick one up cheap enough to usually turn around and fix with a bit of prudence. Well, I had a kid, have a demanding job and have narrowed down the issue but not able to solve it and the car needs to go. I installed a new cam position sensor and flywheel tooth sensor because the car is not getting spark or fuel pulses. I was getting spark but that went away during a diag procedure, go figure. I've also tried another ECM (comes with original and spare unit), with no luck. I can read and perform diags on the ecm's and all the available modules in the car but can't get it to fire the injectors. I do get voltage to the fuel system but it's not liking what it sees I guess. I'm thinking either the crank position that was installed was not put in right or is wrong/bad, or the cams are out of time enough. I've seen several cases where the cams slip on this motor. I don't have the tool to set the timing and I just can't get the time and don't want to put any more money into the car. Now comes the other major issue; the title. The title is NOT Transferable. I have the title, it is a duplicate, signed by the original owner, over to the previous owner (who never titled it) and handed it over to me. I never noticed or gave though to it that he used white out on the title.....I just looked at the title briefly and he just didn't know any better. I thought the title was just signed over (Maryland title, you only need to sign it over, no notary required) and I would just have to process it. I did some checking and followed up with my buddy and come to find out, the original owner died! We're unable to find anyone that has power of attorney or any other way to straighten this out easily through the Maryland Motor Vehicles Administration either. You can not process a title with any trace of white out on it and I even tried ever so carefully to remove the whiteout tape with no luck. This car is for parts only, I will turn over the title that I have with a bill of sale. It does have some paint issues, dent on the hood, scratches, flaking, etc....the interior is not the best or worst. The windows were left cracked in the end of a not so weather tight garage and resulted in the bottom front seats getting ruined. The upper seat backs of the front and all of the rear seats are in good shape, no tears there. Power features all work, memory too. Stereo is not working, has Bose system with 6 disc remote changer (might be related to the starting issue, seen weirder things on an Audi/VW!). Has the rear facing third row seat. Tires and wheels are in good shape, lots of tread, some cracking from sitting. I have all the shrouds, belts, belly pans, and pieces that were taken off while diagnosing the car as well. I can load it and tow it on my trailer for $0.50/mile within reason. I would just part out the car and probably double my money but I don't have the time. If it doesn't sell, it's going to the scrap yard, I'm not selling individual parts off it right now, so please don't ask. |

Audi Airomorph is a sleek shape-shifting senior thesis
Tue, 12 Aug 2014Eric Kim just graduated from the from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, at the end of the spring 2014 semester, and for his senior thesis project he came up with this futuristic Audi endurance racer called the Airomorph. He even got some input Audi designer Kris Vancoppenolle.
The Airomorph imagines a future Audi racer for Le Mans that features adjusting fabric panels to fine-tune the car's aerodynamics as it laps the course - a technology inspired by catamaran racing. "I started from scratch and had the freedom to deliver and execute a white space design for the future," said Kim to Autoblog via email. It's also somewhat similar to the idea behind BMW Gina concept, although Kim says that wasn't an inspiration for his design. The body here is made from a single piece of a silver, expansion-resistant material stretched over a frame underneath. The fabric anchors at the wheels, front and rear section with movable cables, and hydraulic actuators pull the wires to shift the aero as needed.
The actual shape echoes Audi endurance racers from the past and present. In profile, you can easily see the current R18 with its arcing cockpit and fin down the rear. Of course, that's interpreted through a little bit of Blade Runner with the covered wheels sticking out from the body. The front shows the rectangular shapes from the earlier R15. There doesn't appear to be any way to actually see out of the vehicle, though.
2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen
Thu, Jan 3 2019In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.
