1964 Renault Dauphine Gordini Original interior 4 on-the-floor with 4 wheel Disc brakes Garage-kept for the last 40 years Was in 1 minor front driver side fender bender, which is why the color is different, but we have the orginal dented parts as well.

Thank god that's not closer.

Dammit, why does it have to be so close. Its a good candidate for my usual VW tranxaxle/Subie motor swap...oh not my "usual" since I've only done it once but a 2nd one would be fun.

resisting urge to go see it....

I know of a 2.0 914 set up cheap .....

I may be interested once I find out more about this lovely heap. French is about the only nationality I haven't owned yet, time to cross the barrier

I know a fuel injected Alliance engine will swap in.

How I know, don't ask.

Some details from the seller

"ran when parked" in the early 90s. Was grandpa's car, passed away, family wants to sell.

Looks like alot of spares to go with it.

I'll know more Saturday ;)

DO IT!!!!

Oh thank god that isn't near me. Why do I like odd cars so mucH?

A high school buddy of mine had a Dauphine back in the 60s. He got killed in an automobile accident along with two other friends at a notorius intersection between Orangeburg and the beach. I'm not sure if he was driving the Dauphine on that day.

Barring any unforseen circumstance and assuming a little flexibility on the part of the seller it will be mine soon.....I've done darn near everything else, but never French, need to check that one off the bucketlist.

I may, shocking as it seems, just keep the little bugger stock.
