Do you mean a 4CV? Here as a pic of an original and a pic of a Racer... ( 2nd pic specially for Fur biscuit...)

somebody photshop this into a gasser,maybe with the axle in front of the grill with the headers coming out the fenderwells,please?? randy
I bought one 35+ yrs ago from behind a barn for $7.50 the engine was in the barn w/a cracked block,we tied it to my friends 58 olds 88 & threw the engine in the trunk,we tried some kind of block sealer couldn't make it hold but drove it anyways,short distances.the e-brake worked.had swingarm suspension & the bearings musta been out cuz the wheels toe in we we tookoff & out when brakin,A volkswagen carb made her scream. fun car,i sold the tires f/$25.00 & front seats f/$35.00 & traded the rest f/a baha bug
renault 4cv had one for a field car many years ago I lived very close to Thompson International raceway which at the time was a very well known road race facility with guys like Steve McQueen and Paul Neuman racing there on a regular basis even met the Smothers Brothers there I believe Dick was a formula car driver.Anyway I got the car free and some race team saw it and gave me 50$ for the header which was a factory item on this car they even did the swap and retuned it because I told them I couldn't drive it if it was noisy the neighbors would complain at 12 I was a celebraty because they spent a few hours with the transporter etc.parked in my drive while they swapped parts and stuff.Guess you would have to have lived by a track as a kid to understand how that worked
Owned on of those for a while. Had visions of a Big V-Twin in the back. French cars are a trip. I raced a Renault LeCar for awhile in SCCA events. Lots of suspension travel and good dampening makes'em corner on the door handles, and occasionaly on the roof. lol
Paint it French piggy-wiggy black and white with sirens...according to bluto they made a really hot version too. i have always wanted one of these...and a beret, but that is cause i am wierd.
why thank you! (where you manage to keep digging these up is becoming a rather unhealthy fascination) if we were going to be really perverse, i wonder if a one of the A110 gordini motors would fit back there...
In the 'Barris Kustoms of the 1950's' book there is actually a picture of a very nicely scalloped one. From memory it has whitewalls, red t&r interior, black paint with silver/red scallops. Check it out! Adam F
how right you are. (btw if you had a choice for a group B car what would you get...i am torn between a RS200 or a S4...descisions suck! )
The Lancia Integrale S4 is cooler, the Ford is probably easer to get parts for. But as far as Ralley Cars go, I couldn't think of anything more fun than a Factory prepaired Ford Escort MK1 with a BDA in it... Well, maybe a Stratos. ( Same two brands, different era... )
i'm thinking more of a front engine,big fire breathing gasser type car with a straight axle and slicks etc.. randy
