rjluna2 ◊ 2010-05-26 04:11	Maybe we should let walter confirm your finding...
an_unusual_eye ◊ 2010-05-26 04:44	ALWAYS a good idea... we need a "knocking on the door of walter" smiley. we would get a chassis code as a bonus.
cl82 ◊ 2010-05-26 05:04	Since I am somehow unable to fall asleep I can get you the chassis code for this Audi 5000. It should be C2 aka Typ 43, produced roughly between 1976 and 1982.
an_unusual_eye ◊ 2010-05-26 05:38	insomnia pays off again. 1978+ for the USA i believe.
walter ◊ 2010-05-26 14:46	Yes, this should be a 1980 Audi 5000 C2. But at a first sight I hesitated between it and a 4000 http://www.adclassix.com/images/81audi4000sedan.jpg . But the 4000 has two-paned window in the rear door too, no? Anyway, this looks to be bigger than a 4000, so let's assume it's a 5000 C2
