Yes, a Dauphine

 

Ha, Yes.

Renault Dauphine.
In the late 50's and early 60's, Renault was a big player in the US. Dealerships all over the country.
A real competitor to the VW Beetle that was just starting to make headway here.
They were even a mojor sponsor of the Winter Olympic Games on TV.

Good friend of mine in HS had one. Good snow car; our ski car.

Finally it's poor reliability got the best of it... they were gone from the US several years later.

Came back much later as part of American Motors.

I thought it was a Dauphine, but I wasn't quite confident enough to include that! Looks like fun! Probably a big improvement over the original, to be honest.

 

What are the conversion specifications?

All the best,
Andrew.

There's a YouTube series on the build:

 

That's a fascinating build. I've subscribed to the playlist of your garage.

Also, your Delorean might actually get to 88mph after all of this - without a downhill assist!

All the best,
Andrew.

1986 Honda Z-50 RD Christmas Special, as new.

 

Not exactly a "killing" when considering the restoration, 30 years of storage / keeping it running. The '70 AAR Cuda that I sold for $7500 to buy my first F-car (348tb) was the one I wish I still had!
