Sure, it's not really a Halloween-specific item, but you can't argue with the timing. This Audi 80, which is located in Austria and currently up for auction on eBay, has been decorated to be an exact replica of Jeff Gordon's old NASCAR Winston Cup car, right down to the bowtie on the hood and Monte Carlo decal on the front bumper. (Well, okay, it's as exact a replica as a 4-door '91 Audi can be.)

According to the Google-translated listing detail (pasted after the jump), the car got its paint job as part of a rebuild in 2000. The entire finish is clearcoated, so there's no films or seams from the myriad logo decals, and the seller says that the finish is still in good shape overall. The interior is mostly stock-looking, and power comes from a 90 PS (88.7 HP) motor with roughly 47,000 km on it. The black wheels with the red-striped rims are pretty cool, and work with the whole NASCAR motif. It's not without issues, however. The seller reports it has a cracked exhaust, needs a rear lamp, has some small rust spots where stone strikes occurred, and has an ABS warning light that stubbornly keeps coming on.

While a 90-horse engine seems at odds with the overall stock car theme, we have a feeling that the owner understands at least one element: rubbin' ist racing. The current bid is € 371. Whether it's a trick or a treat is for you to determine.

Thanks to Derek for the tip.
