1959 Auto Union 1000 S

Extremely rare example of an extraordinarily rare car to begin with. 4-door model with Right-Hand-Drive imported from South Africa. Found in the hanger of a Czech airplane mechanic in Bend, Oregon. Amazing original interior fully intact. Suicide front doors. Extremely solid car from dry climates. Needs paint and a ding repair, or two, but all original and mechanically solid. It runs and drives well but will need freshening for using on public roads or long distance. It is a sweetheart of an original car indeed. Only 7 moving parts in the 2-stroke engine. Front wheel drive with a column-shift four-speed. Auto Union is the predecessor to Audi. This is an incredible find and the only one known to exist for sale today anywhere in the world.
