1978 Renault 17 Gordini


This car was from Texas and I trailered it back to Oxford. It had sat for a long time due to a faulty air flow meter in the fuel injection system which made the car run way too rich. It was in a time warp condition with 54,000 miles, no rust and an incredible interior. I replaced the fuel injectors, detailed the motor, got the ac working, put new tires, replaced the coolant hoses, fixed the power top and obsessed over it relentlessly. I sold it on Ebay last summer to a Renault enthusiast from New Hampshire who plans to repaint it.
