Re: [Amc-list] Who knows Renaults? GTA? Ragtop!

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I did some searching and see it appears the GTA would be about the equiv of working on the 196 anymore!
Looks like they can be kept on the road though so I put a nice long list of questions in to the seller.
It's not an auction but simply an add to buy and the sale has to be done in person.
I  make just buy the thing if it is reasonbly solid.
I have a thing for square boxy bodied cars don't you know.
This one would cover all the DD needs plus a few fun side things like being a ragtop and getting 30mpg.

Shame it's not rear drive, would make fun little car to redriveline...
Someone did one a long time ago, I can't even remember what engine they used to make it rear drive.
Was kind of nice IIRC.
