Abt Cup Widebody '98 vw GTI VR6 Turbo - 350 hp - 48k miles - Seattle

SOLD



The time has come for me to move on. I am relocating, so for now I'd prefer to just own one car rather than two.
I've owned the car for seven years. The car has won it's class at H20 International every year it's been entered, and is featured in
this month's issue (October) of PVW. The car idles like a stock vr6, it's a very reliable turbo setup. The body work was all done correctly,
no short cuts were taken, at any point. This car helped show me what it means to be truly dedicated to a project, from start to finish.

Abt Cup Widebody '98 GTI VR6 HPA Turbo
48k miles on everything
As perfect as they come, inside and out
Located in Seattle but willing to ship at buyers expense

Chassis:

KW Variant II coilover suspension
Colormatched Kerscher RX wheels 5x120 17x8.5 17x9.5
Falken 452 tires (205/40/17 and 215/40/17)
ECS 20mm adaptors front and rear
H&R 10mm spacers rear
Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors with EBC green stuff pads
Tyrolsport brake stiffeners
Eibach polished front upper strut tower bar
Carbon rear upper strut tower bar

Exterior:

Custom Abt Cup metal widebody using Corrado fender arches
Audi Avus Silver full respray
Audi A6 door handles
Saab Vigan smoked indicator lights
Smoothed rocker panels
Smoothed quarter panel seams
Shaved hood nozzles
Shaved gas door
Shaved roof antenna
Shaved rear euro bumper
Composite (carbon & fiberglass) front bumper with Folger lip molded in
Composite (carbon fiber & kevlar) front splitter
Euro hatch with carbon fiber grab handle
Carbon fiber Projektzwo mirrors
Smoked e-code headlights
Badgeless two bar grille
Hella all red tails

Interior:

Recaro SRD's (not shown in photos)

Shaved leather pillar covers

Custom 3” exhaust with a high flow cat
Turbo Blanket
AEM tru-boost gauge mounted with 42 draft design mount

Transmission:

Peloquin limited slip differential
Spec stage III clutch
Autotech L&B flywheel
Reinforced clutch plate

I'd like to see the car go to the right buyer. If some idiot kid walked up to me with 20k cash, and i knew wouldn't take care of the car, i wouldn't sell it to him. This is one of two known metal abt cup widebodies. I'd like the car go into the hands of someone who will take care of it, enjoy it, and let others enjoy it by taking it to shows. Maybe someday I'll buy the car back, but for now I'd prefer to see the car go to someone who can enjoy it more than I can right now.

I'm willing to sell the car as is, or at a lesser price without wheels or without interior. I feel that these non-negotiable prices are very fair, considering all the work and money that has gone into the car. The parts alone are worth what I'm selling the car for! The HPA turbo kit retails for $7k!

Willing to sell the car AS IS (includes wheels, carbon interior, HPA turbo kit, etc etc.. everything!), for $17,500, or less without the Kerscher wheels and/or without the carbon fiber interior.
