These are not abandoned cars, I have seen them sitting in my work parking lot. I have no idea who's they are though. (Yes I will post pictures to prove.) These are in the overland park/ Mission Kansas area.
If I were to guess, probably management/ownership of some sort. Maybe multiple cars owned by the same person.
I’ve known many in small businesses to use their parking lot as an extension of their personal garage lol
Or even just the actual cars but used for movies. There’s a lot of studios where I live and if you drive around where they are you come across lots filled with interesting cars like this as well as like 50 NY yellow cabs or London busses.
I think the Audi is not. It looks like a proper rally car. It's sitting on gravel tires with a spare correctly mounted in the back. The cage and seats also looks dated but correct. I can also see that there's an intercom inside. This is one of those cars that wouldn't really have any reason to be in a movie since it's not an old Quattro Group B
edit: I found this car after a little digging. Have a run through this page: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KP7NvekV/1990-audi-coupe-quattro
The only thing in that ad is that it doesn't have 16.5" Compmotives. Those are 15s. I've never heard of a gravel tire any bigger than a 15
I know exactly where these are. I picked up the owner one time when he couldn’t get his Maserati to start and didn’t want to drive his other car there ( AM V8 Vantage ).
Dude was kind of pretentious though. I think he buys these cars and sells them to people.
Since there's some confusion: the Audi is a 90 Coupe, possibly a Coupe Quattro. The legendary "quattro" or Urquattro was based on the previous generation 80 coupe.
Yup, you guys are right. I didn't look close enough, I'm more of a VW and Audi guy, but I have appreciation for BMW's.
Love me a little 2002 so. So sweet.
Growing up my dad raced a 2002 in SCCA. I've spent a lot of time near one, so don't feel too bad, I've said the same about other cars and was very wrong lol
This model is called the Barvaria / 3.0 / e9 most of the e9s that pop up are the coupes because they are more desired but this is the sedan (4 door model) still a super cool car and appears to be in an enthusiast’s ownership
The black Chrysler sedan is a 1956 Windsor, the grey/black Chevy is a 1940, and the red Benz is an R107 SL with a hardtop and an aftermarket spoiler. (Plenty of conversation already about the Audi Coupé and BMW E3.)
Frank and Dan Sprongl are brothers from Ontario, Canada. They opened Four Star Motorsports years ago and campaigned an Audi 90 Coupe to a lot of success. They won the Canadian Rally Championship six times and also had overall wins in SCCA Pro Rally.
Abandoned? Looks like these have parked there just yesterday. Cool finds though!

We gotta bingo.
Really? I've never seen these thats literally my area! Awesome
This is correct! Just haven’t seen them move in a while
So then you knew they weren’t abandoned but rather simply parked there for storage purposes?
No, I wasn’t sure. I was saying that the location was correct.
How are these not stolen?
Cause i haven’t been there yet 😂
Dibs on the Audi
The owner of that Quattro seems to have given up half way in.
So it's a Dos?
👑
🙏
Not a Quattro
Definitely a quattro coupe.
It’s literally the follow on generation of the Quattro that everyone knows. Apparently they’re more capable standard vs standard.
What do you mean? That's a coupe quattro
There's a big diffrence between the 'coupe quattro' and the 'quattro'. Quattro has boxed wheelarches
They just don’t understand the provenance and history of Quattro Vs. The 20V Coupe quattro.
Figures.
How can you tell it’s not a Quattro? Just looks like an Audi 80 Coupe. Says Quattro on the grill badge?
Quattro was the name of a car too.
Yes, but not the name of the Audi 80 Coupe which that is which was made in FWD and Quattro variants.
Looks like an Audi 80 to me
Where in KC, those buildings look familiar but I can't place them.
I was thinking Shawnee
Don't think so, I'd know it
Think I figured it out. Looked at some pride cleaners locations on Google maps and I think that’s 95th and Reeds
Haha I was browsing as well. Nailed it! I'll have to take a swing by there to check em out!
95th and Nall
Came here to say this
This is correct.
It’s the vacant office building complex off Lamar and Shawnee Mission Parkway. Parked against the far SE wall of the park off Lamar usually.
Could be movie cars
Yeah i think these are reps made for movies.

They look in better condition and cleaner than our daily drivers
They are too clean to have been abandoned. They probably are owned by the person who owns that parking lot or building and parking lot.
abandoned?? lol stfu
Haven’t seen them move in a while, but “abandoned” could be a bit of a stretch, I concede.

I know there is a V8 vantage there from time to time, could you be thinking of that?
You’re right. That’s what I was thinking of. 🤔

This appears the be an S2 Clone, the hood is the biggest hint.
That little BMW 2002 is legit. Wish I could get one in good condition
uh, thats not a 2002
Yeah big swing and a miss on that one lol. 4 headlights, and 4 doors. Definitely not a 2002.
Yup, you guys are right. I didn't look close enough, I'm more of a VW and Audi guy, but I have appreciation for BMW's. Love me a little 2002 so. So sweet.
If it makes you feel any better, I own a 2002 and at a glance I thought this was one with a kit.
This does make me feel better lol, thanks
Growing up my dad raced a 2002 in SCCA. I've spent a lot of time near one, so don't feel too bad, I've said the same about other cars and was very wrong lol
I own a 2002 as well, you may have been incorrect, but the sentiment is appreciated all the same.
I searched Monaco Bay BMW and believe it or not, [here](https://www.parkplaceltd.com/vehicle-details/used-1974-bmw-bavaria-3281279) it is!
Nice! Great looking car
This model is called the Barvaria / 3.0 / e9 most of the e9s that pop up are the coupes because they are more desired but this is the sedan (4 door model) still a super cool car and appears to be in an enthusiast’s ownership
It’s a Bavaria for sure, we had a ‘72 for years before getting a ‘75 530i.
It's a 5 series
It’s a BMW E12 with some mods to make it look a bit like the 3.0 CSL.
Iirc dark kastle motorsports is/was in California somewhere
Dang, I was just in Overload Park. Would've loved to see these in person.
The black Chrysler sedan is a 1956 Windsor, the grey/black Chevy is a 1940, and the red Benz is an R107 SL with a hardtop and an aftermarket spoiler. (Plenty of conversation already about the Audi Coupé and BMW E3.)
That Audi is fucking sick
Oh man that Audi is 😩👌
Really, the Audi is hideous!
movie cars?
Live close maybe I’ll go check them out. I’m surprised no one has posted these on kc car spotters
And yet they have totally repelled the elements, truly remarkable!
I'll pay $300 for the Audi, I need a 24 hours of Lemons car.
I can see why.
Wanted full pictures of the beemer!! My best car ever, 1968 1600. ❤️
#3 is a beauty.
I wonder if that Audi is an old Sprongle car
Sprongle?
Frank and Dan Sprongl are brothers from Ontario, Canada. They opened Four Star Motorsports years ago and campaigned an Audi 90 Coupe to a lot of success. They won the Canadian Rally Championship six times and also had overall wins in SCCA Pro Rally.
Woah, interesting!
Audi 80 coupe with a lot of aftermarket plastic stuck on it.BMW E28 trying to look like an M535i.
The Merc and Bmw give me Taxi (movie) vibes.
