A friend of mine had one of those when we were in high school. Same color, too. I've never seen another one.

It had a vinyl covered hard top that was held in place with four bolts.

By typical standards, that car is well represented with photographs. Not your typical 4 pictures and done maneuver.
Also, photo'ed well enough to tell me to stay far, far away from that rusty underbody.

... one more than the number of lugs that hold each wheel on.

My uncle bought one brand new. He also was known for buying column shifted 3 speeds.

He was a bit odd...

I absolutely love those old Renaults but I'd rather have fun sourcing engine parts than finding out what lies beneath that carpet.

You meant to say "Rare, ugly Renault and it's manual", right?

Those may have been called convertibles, but it's actually more of a targa.

And not in a good way.

Done right, they do look awesome, IMO.

Already sold

Neat looking car, I have never seen one before. That car looks like a rust bomb looking for a place to crash
