zeitgeist57 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Every once in awhile, the intarwebs produces a gem that makes me take pause, and wonder if I need another car.

Do want. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___1983-Renault-Le-Car-R-5-deluxe-with-SUNROOF_W0QQitemZ280264779765QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280264779765&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 The last time eBay had such a gem, I had to buy it.

Mr. Jones Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 IIRC, We had 2-3 LeCar's growing up. At least 3 Fuego's. 1 Sportwagon and bunch of "Eagle" Premiers. I'm still buying a Fuego next chance I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Where would one get aftermarket wheels for such car? I think the Smart ForTwo is the only other car I've seen with 3-lug wheels...aside from another Renault. You could pilfer the wheels from a Renault Alpine A310. Try to find one, though.

ImUrOBGYN Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 No turbo no care It actually came with a turbo is other markets. The most powerful being a 160hp 1.4L turbo. US only got the 1.4L or 1.3L N/A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Where would one get aftermarket wheels for such car? BBS actually made 3 lug wheels for these cars when they were raced in SCCA - yes, just write a big enough check and you can have your own spec pro series in SCCA! A friend of mine bought an old "Renault Cup" Le Car - complete with 2-3 sets of 3 lug BBS's with it. Wierd-o-rama!!! Imagine 20-30 Le Cars all charging (OK slowly gatthering speed) coming to the green flad at M-O - hysterical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
