Have you ever ever wished to be a Radwood hero, however with the horny mystique of 1 who spent their summers on The Continent? Effectively, now you possibly can have all of that and extra should you choose up this ludicrously clear 1986 Renault Alpine from a vendor in (checks notes) Wichita, Kansas.

OK, perhaps its present location doesn’t whisper of ache au chocolats and café lattes alongside the Seine, however this isn’t only a automotive—it’s a transportation system via each area and time. Permit Bob Cummings, proprietor of Euroasian Autos Inc., to take you on a stroll round this very particular automobile:

With solely 28,000 kilometers on it (about 17,000 miles) this Renault is a time capsule of unique inside and trim. This mannequin was the primary Alpine made one hundred pc by Renault and was truly meant for the U.S. market ultimately earlier than Renault pulled out of the U.S. fully. This instance snuck over the border to the U.S. from Canada. Inside is a naturally aspirated V6 PRV sitting within the rear (the identical because the DeLorean, however at solely 2,300 kilos or so, with so much much less weight) with a five-speed handbook gear field placing out round 170 horsepower. I imply, what extra might a woman need?

I imply, what extra might a woman need? Simply have a look at these wheels, America:

And people headlights! If that doesn’t get your red-blooded automotive fanatic coronary heart pumping it’s possible you’ll wish to examine right into a hospital to ensure you don’t have an acute case of being useless.

The inside can also be cherry, with a middle stack dedicated to preserving the tunes bumping via the turns. All of it seems amazingly retro and area age-y on the similar time.

Bob says its probably the most effective surviving GTA’s on the earth, and who’re we to argue? Now, your fundamental query probably is, is it low cost? Fuck no! You’d be fairly suspicious at this level if it was. This 37-year-old survivor will set you again $49,995 and, from the best way Bob gushed about this magnificence to Jalopnik, I don’t assume you’re going to speak him down a lot. That is undoubtedly a scenario the place you probably have the money, positive, he’ll promote, however he’s not taking a penny much less. You possibly can inform how tremendous critical he’s about promoting it by the Fb Market itemizing, as a substitute of, say, Automobiles and Bids or Convey A Trailer. However you probably have the means, then there isn’t a higher resolution you can also make for your self and your future attendance at automotive exhibits.
