What became of Karquattro? Also, the black 8300 mi. Quattro they had?

I fell in love with that car and even called on it. Never did get a price.
Anyway, I have always wondered two things; was that the Audi PR car that Phil Hill Drove, and how much did it sell for. I would love to know.

The car was from Vail, CO. That owner sold it for less than $12k, after having it advertised for
months and dropping the price a few times. It was just the car left at his mountain house, no "special" history. Search this forum, there is lots of discussion about it. All of the local CO ur quattro guys knew about it. Note that this was a few years ago.
Last that I heard in talking with Keith Anderson (not Kent), there was a bidding war going on for it and offers were over $40k.
Almost make me wish that I had picked it up when it was at $12k. The thing is, that is not a car that you would drive and what fun would that be?

I've never really understood the appeal of low mileage cars for anything but museums...
I'd hate the idea that I was reducing the value of the car every time I drove it.
Don't get me wrong, I love looking at clean, unmodified cars- I just don't see the point of owning them personally.

Yes, but if you would drive a "new" one, you would be unimpressed compared to modern cars.
For the time it was amazing, but for the price now, without inflation even factored in, you can get an all wheel drive car with twice the horsepower, a better shifter, a far nicer interior, better brakes, better handling and a more solid chassis.
If you want a "new" ur Quattro take a look at the new TT RS. It has a 340hp 2.5l I5 turbo, six speed transmission (NO DSG), huge brakes, awesome seats, a solid chassis and about the same weight as the ur quattro, which I find to be surprising. The looks? Hmmm, I may have to see it in person. It just doesn't seem have the same aggressive stance as the ur quattro in the pictures.
The only performance downside that I see is the Haldex all wheel drive system, but the tuning for those is getting better. My bet it is pretty much dialed on on that car. With a chip, a good exhaust system (for "the sound") and maybe an airbox to give it some intake noise, it would be an awesome companion to the ur quattro in the garage. You could also drive it every day as you will be able to get parts for it. Too bad it will probably be priced out of reach, if we will even get them in this country. Hmmm, just like the original....
