Not only is it a French car in the midwest, but it still runs. How the hell was anyone able to keep a 22 year old Renault running?

Well, just because it's running now doesn't mean it has always been running. My bet is that it spent most of its time in a garage under a tarp

Too bad it's an auto, and not a Gordini.

A better question is: why are you looking for Renault Fuegos on craigslist?! images/smilies/tease.gif

My brother was looking for straight chassis e30's to yank the motor/trans out of and swap in something a little less expensive to maintain and modify... When you see "85 renault" for sale you just have to look.

Since when does the tachometer show the miles driven? I always thought that was called the odometer.

No way could this have been driven the whole time...it would have rusted out in Wisconsin from the road salt in the winter
