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

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hey, I actualy take some little offense on the square car comments...
Ever look at a 66-69 American?
If the square headligths would have been legal they's have been in there!

I've slept on the Renault and it is tempting but I'm not going to be in any big hurry to try and buy it.
Sent a lengthy message to the seller asking for details on it's condition and await his reply. If he does.
   For $300 I will probably take look at it, but what I found last night may leave it a bit of an iffy buy!
I know that there is no way it should be even started without a timing belt and idler pulleys being replaced.
The only price I found mentioned abot $150 for the belt alone state side.
Could not find anything on Joe Wagner that lookes current either.
   I did find enough to see it truly qualifies as an Orphaned child! Less support for those than our Ramblers!
