Title: My Quantum has to go....
Post by: bevboyy on October 29, 2007, 05:21:43 pm

Well...

I finally completed the restoration of my 1983 Quantum TD.  Just out of the shop from the painters. It was to be a gift for my wife.. Alas, she said after 1 test drive that it was too noisy for her liking.. :cry: Since I am knee deep in fixing my Mercedes TD,  I now have to let it go.  :( Just did a nice jaunt up Airport Rd to Wasaga Beach and back today, and she was splendid, that lovely T3 coupled with a fresh 2.25" hi flow exhaust was nice. Not that slow with that auto trans as I thought. :o Off the line it was sucky, but once I hit 30 mph, it pulled strong! I so pissed that it has to go though..

Here's some pics of the Quantum for all to enjoy...

Thanks man, I thought so as well. She scoots around in corners real nice, even with it being an auto. Just love hearing the whistle of the T3 :twisted:

Very similar to my 83 Audi 4K TD. Including the infamous E mode 089 auto tranny. Nice job in bring it back.
I have been offered some big bucks for mine ($19K) but that was just talk, I have often wondered what kind of price mine would fetch on EBAY, I'll be watching yours closely

Best of luck....with selling the car and finding a new car for the wife

I saw your page a while back, just drooling over what you did to yours. Actually it was the inspiration to do this quantum.

I found the best way to preserve the 089 transmission was to remove the stock oil cooler and use a real external oil cooler.  :D
