I'm on the Renault na list (don't know the web address
but do a google search) because I bought a got a few
AMC/Renault parts with an AMC parts lot I bought a few
years ago. Parts for those cars are very thin on the
ground. Judging from the list posts, there are lots
of electrical problems with those cars and the brakes
seem to be a problem. Do a google search on Joe
Wagner in Ohio. He's one of the frequent posters to
that list and has more than one Renault right now I
think.

I did some searching and see it appears the GTA would be about the equiv of working on the 196 anymore!
Looks like they can be kept on the road though so I put a nice long list of questions in to the seller.
It's not an auction but simply an add to buy and the sale has to be done in person.
I make just buy the thing if it is reasonbly solid.
I have a thing for square boxy bodied cars don't you know.
This one would cover all the DD needs plus a few fun side things like being a ragtop and getting 30mpg.

Shame it's not rear drive, would make fun little car to redriveline...
Someone did one a long time ago, I can't even remember what engine they used to make it rear drive.
Was kind of nice IIRC.

Wow, that thing is like French or something, ain't it.

I know they're in the family, and I try to love them, but...

> The GTA was the one car I remember running like it should. It was not a race car but the 2.0L makes it run like they all should have.

I bet in good shape it performs just fine. It's the same car, but
standards and culture change. I bet it's a blast to drive.

But what bugs me most about the entire post-75 era is, square
everything! Square guages, square headlights (still not down with that),
square tail lights, square fenders, what drugs those guys taking/not
taking? An entire decade of cars designed to be stackable or something.

(However now that we've been in the turd era for as long (eg. cars that
all look like they were extruded by sphincters -- ogive in front to
pinched off back ends) maybe I'd welcome cubic cars back. Nahh, probably
not.)

Hey, I actualy take some little offense on the square car comments...
Ever look at a 66-69 American?
If the square headligths would have been legal they's have been in there!

I've slept on the Renault and it is tempting but I'm not going to be in any big hurry to try and buy it.
Sent a lengthy message to the seller asking for details on it's condition and await his reply. If he does.
For $300 I will probably take look at it, but what I found last night may leave it a bit of an iffy buy!
I know that there is no way it should be even started without a timing belt and idler pulleys being replaced.
The only price I found mentioned abot $150 for the belt alone state side.
Could not find anything on Joe Wagner that lookes current either.
I did find enough to see it truly qualifies as an Orphaned child! Less support for those than our Ramblers!

Them's fite-en werdz!

First, I don't consider the American's square. Second, I apologize if I
got too mean, I was funin'. It's obviously just taste. Some of us got
bad taste (ducks for cover).

Wasn't that kinda uncomfortable?

Yeah, the old interesting cars are always a mess that way. It's tough.
Is any of the driveline etc "common"? A few tough maint spots might not
be too bad if suspension etc is doable.

> I did find enough to see it truly qualifies as an Orphaned child! Less support for those than our Ramblers!

We have, at least, decades of interchangable parts on our side.

Had a great day yesterday. Went to the Moparama show at Thunder Valley
Dragways, Marion, SD.
They had classes for AMCs. I knew I was going to win a Best in Show when I
got there because of
course I was the only AMC in the show. Still I had to get the car there,
it's about 100 miles one way.
The plaque will look good on the shop wall.

Pretty happy with the way the Javelin performed on the road. Cruises
straight as an arrow, no pull side to side,
rides the ridges and stuff in the road like they're not there, and pulled
off a respectable 20 mpg. That's pretty
good considering the messed up carburetor on it. I think the power valve or
something is screwed. I should be getting
probably 22 to 24 with it. Maybe I should change to a little smaller main
jet.
The cruise speed was between 55 and 65 mph. The tach reads 1900 to 2000 rpm
at those speeds.
About 2100 or 2200 at 70 mph. That's with a 26 inch diameter tire, 2.87 axle
and .63 overddrive. Tons of fun to drive the car at speeds above 70 mph now
too! Ran it up to a little over 80 mph for the first time in 20 years.
Absolutely no vibration or shimmy or anything negative. The car gives me a
lot of confidence type feedback. Corners like it's on rails. Maybe I'll get
brave enough to run it with WOT again until it tachs out like I did as a
kid. I think I used to get it to around 120 mph. Respectable for a stock 304
Javelin. I am wondering how fast it will go with the T5 instead of the BW
automatic. That auto trans ate a lot of horspower, and the stock 304 didn't
seem to have enough of that to push the car over 120 with the BW auto.
The carburetor is a conglomeration of original (off the Javelin) and salvage
yard FOMOCO 2bbl parts.
Probably not the best of situations.

Oh yeah the Mopar drag show and the regular drag race show was a blast to
watch. I haven't been to a drag strip in 30 years.
I really enjoyed the drag racing day, but would love to lap the Javelin at a
road course some day...............

Have a good AMC weekend.

I don't exactly "know" Renaults, but am familiar with them. I passed on a GTA with at least four bent valves (no compression in any cylinder due to broken timing belt). Parts aren't hard to find -- pretty much standard Renault stuff. You may have to order on-line from Canada or Europe though. Only a few parts available from the local stores, and I bet they have to order from the warehouse -- anything other than spark plugs, wires, and belts anyway. Would be a FUN daily driver! The only thing that would beat it on the twisty's when it came out was a Corvette -- the GTA pulled 0.89g on a skid pad with the stock Michelin Sport XGT 195/50VR15 tires on 15x6 wheels. 0-60 time is 13.9 seconds. Early articles stated 0.93g and 9.9 0-60, but were apparently exaggerated. 0.89 and 13.9 comes from AMC/Renault magazine ads. Maybe test versions did go a bit faster than the production versions.

The engine is basically the same as the 1.7L -- all but the block, crank, and rods interchange IIRC. The 2.0L is a stroked 1.7L with an 11mm taller block. Might use a slightly longer timing belt. Both are DOHC 16 valve, and most importantly share the same head. HP for the 2.0L is only 95 @ 5250 rpm, 114 lb/ft of torque @ a relatively low 2750 rpm thanks to the longer stroke.

I stumbled on this and it is very close to me, priced very cheap and even has less than 100K on it.
The GTA was the one car I remember running like it should. It was not a race car but the 2.0L makes it run like they all should have.
Oh, and it covers the ragtop urge I have had for years...
Stickshift, good if my shoulder likes this particular car. Bad if it doesn't. I've found some cars don't bother me much, depends on shift effort and placement.

So, what is the likelyhood of finding parts for this puppy should the timing belt be gone and th evalves mangled or the rear suspension bushings be shot etc;

Evidently you have not tried to find Renault
Alliance/Encore brake rotors. That seems to be one of
the type of part that the Renault NA listers can't
find. And I don't think having to order from Canada
or Europe is exactly convenient.

I don't own a Renault and feel sure I never will but I
stand by what I said about parts being "thin on the
ground."

No response from the seller so I'll just wait and see.
I found some tidbits on rotors and stuff, just enough to let me believe if I do get a call and it's solid it may be worth a go around.

Just after graduating from high school, i worked at the local
AMC-Jeep-Renault-Mazda-Toyota (say THAT ten times fast) dealer. I
remember driving around (I was in the reconditioning bay) new Alliances,
Encores, and (18i) Sportwagons. I thought they were OK, neither
fantastic or POSs. I was really into Volkswagens at the time so I
didn't give the French competition the time of day. I thought the
"weird" pulling up the catch at the shifter to enable you to go into
reverse strange. After working there I worked at an all foreign car
parts shop and had quite a few customers who were happy with their
Renaults. I even had one who absolutely loved his 18i Sedan.

I too have conscidered one as a daily driver. Check out Rockauto for
parts, it seems they have all the brake stuff available, valves too, and
cheap, but no timing belt.

Front or rear rotors? Napa's new partner Altrom carries stuff for the euro cars. (that's where we get Brembo, Beck Arnley and other stuff from) 0802123 is the BA number. Didn't check for the others. TB2119 (I think) is the timing belt and avail here in Seattle. I had one of these cars for a VERY short time. (Wife hated it. I drove it a couple days without a clutch cable and it was a blast to drive but got squirrely REAL fast when I got on the go pedal)

Evidently you have not tried to find Renault
Alliance/Encore brake rotors. That seems to be one of
the type of part that the Renault NA listers can't
find. And I don't think having to order from Canada
or Europe is exactly convenient.

I don't own a Renault and feel sure I never will but I
stand by what I said about parts being "thin on the
ground."

Jim,
I have not heard any news from the guy.
Can you check to see if these are the vented rotors for the GTA?
They are indentical to normal cars except for being vented.
The only other change they made was to widen the cailpers, even the brake pads are the same size.
