Welcome, Nick. I remember these ... and yes, as an Audi. But I haven't seen any for ... well, decades really. Yours looks to be in good condition.

Cheers,

Dave

theres ingnorence for ya! have a nice B5 Passat but doesn't have a clue that there is a sequence to almost everything B1, B2, B3 etc etc.... now my Audi is an Audi 80/fox and it's a B1 and the passat is also a B1, the passat/dasher used the audi platform and created there own version of the car....... The Audi Fox is the history behind your car, It's wat put Audi on the map!


a true Audi enthuse!

Hey mate, welcome to the forum.

Nice ride, but that looks like a early Passat LS.

Post more pics of the rear of the car.

Cheers

there ya go... the back of the audi...... not Passat etc etc...

[Nick_80]

sorry bout the poor pics... havent had much time to take pics of it as it has had the following done

- 80's poptop sunroof that was leaking replaced
- roof repainted
- now getting engine redone
- and cutting the rusted from the front drains, where the sound deadening stuff is


this is definatley an Audi not a Passat looks much better i think

[DaveMack]

Nick is right ... it's an AUDI!!!!! Used to see quite a few of these in NZ many long years ago.

you would think a 'Volks enthusiast' or any one on this forum would know, i thought i was going to have to get it imported after about a 2-3 years of searching and then found it at a wrecker, i love it, so much history and such a quality built car for it's time, "i use to own a 1997 mitsubishi magna and i believe my 1976 audi is a smoother and exciting ride"

Sorry mate,

as you mentioned, the old audis and passats were identical from the front. I have a 75 Passat estate wagon and it has the same front grill as the front of your audi.

Do you have pics of the interior. Im curious as id like to see if they difffer in any other way.

Is she auto or manual?

BTW: Im all for the old audis. Like the LS Passat they are an extremely rare car.

Did you know that the LS Passat is considered the ugly duck of the audi fox lol
