Is this an Abandonned Audi Quattro?

On my way to Lime Rock yesterday, I passed by what looked to be some sort of abandoned showroom with a beaten up Alfa Spider and two other cars underneath covers. I only caught a glimpse of it, but I knew I recognized that rectangular rear end. So on the way back home, My and my friends stopped, and to our amazement, it was an actual Ur-Quattro! (Actually, it might be a Coupe B2 with Quattro wheels, thanks to TheMightyMultipla for figuring that out)

The showroom in question is for a company called Auto Firme, and after some research, it appears to be some sort of mechanic that specializes in 80's and 90's Audis. I thought that it may have just been closed for the weekend, but the overgrown landscaping, lack of any online reviews post-2011, and the registration sign with the numbers removed led me to believe otherwise.

Around the side, there were many other Audi's, including (An actual) Quattro, all in various conditions of disrepair. Only one car actually had a license plate on it that I could see; a 90's Quattro on the other side of the building.

Inside the showroom was this Boattail Spider, which looks like it was in some state of restoration, but with mismatched wheels and an aftermarket hardtop.

To the left of the Quattro is where things got really interesting though! I can't say for sure what this car is, but take a look at the rear fenders and tell me it doesn't look like a Ferrari Testarossa.

If any of you guys have info on this place, I'd love to hear it! Or if you're in the area, it's on Route 343 in Amenia, NY, very close to Lime Rock.

used to pass this all the time going to visit my buddy in Sharon. There's lots of little showrooms hidden away like this, including one real close to limerock. Such a cool area

Also, are you sure that is an Audi Ur Quattro since I can't find that black trim(On the bumper) on any other Ur Quattro.

I think that's just the US-Spec bumper

Looks more like a post '84 Coupé B2 to me.

As TheMightyMultipla said it looks more like a '84 Coupé B2.

Looks like it, I admittedly don't know much about old Audi's.

yeah that is a coupe. 86 or an 87 from what I can see. Probably a digital dash. Still totally worth saving if the price is right

I’ve got a friend who's planning to check this place out tomorrow after Cars and Coffee. Would you mind giving the address?

Don’t know how you dug this post up but it’s 3387 NY343, Amenia NY. I haven’t been by there in few years so I have no idea if the same cars are there. You should post his findings though, I’m curious!

I bookmarked it since I was planning to go there myself. Anyway he said he will take pictures if there’s anything left there. He’s also going to the Cars and Coffee at Lime Rock. If you see a grey Jeep Commander with JDM stickers that’s him lol.

Oh, well he said that there's going to be a large turnout this time. I'll post his pictures of C&C and the showroom if he goes.

This is what he sent me. The Testarossa has the correct wheels which means it’s most likely real. Also do you know what the other car under the cover is?

Not too sure, maybe another Audi Coupe. You should make a new post about it, I’m sure someone will know
