Description:

For sale is my 1984 Renault R5 Turbo. A long time member of the family it is time to move on and let another enthusiast enjoy this icon of the '80s. The vehicle has had a recent cosmetic restoration - paint/body/trims. The interior is original and shows age / wear and should be refinished. The drivetrain has upgrades and maintenance performed however is not running healthy with 150psi compression on 3 cylinders and 30psi compression on 1 cylinder. The car overboosted (loose vacuum line on electronic boost controller that has since been removed) the last time it was driven causing a burnt ring or bent valve - potentially easy fixes for machine shop. This is a great opportunity to get your hands on the ultimate pocket rocket for a lot less than todays +$100K prices.
