YAZTEC AUTOMOTIVE INC. IS PROUD TO OFFER THIS BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED 1962 RENAULT DAUPHINE DELUXE FOR SALE. THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD NEW BY REDDING'S IMPORTED MOTOR SPORTS LOCATED IN SHIPPENSBURG PENNSYLVANIA ON 8/18/1962. WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS HANDBOOK AND WARRANTY FOLDER SHOWING THESE FACTS AND SOME SERVICES. WE PURCHASED THIS RENAULT FROM AN ESTATE ON 6/19/2009. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND DRIVING GREAT, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFT GREAT IN ALL GEARS, THE CLUTCH WAS STRONG, AND THE BRAKES FUNCTION PROPERLY. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORKED. WE DISPLAYED THIS VEHICLE IN OUR SHOWROOM AS A CONVERSATION PIECE. THE CAR WAS STARTED ONCE IN A WHILE TO MAKE SURE THE ENGINE DID NOT SEIZE. LAST WEEK, OUR TECHNICIAN ADDED SOME FRESH FUEL, INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY, AND THE CAR STARTED. THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD BUT IT NEEDS A TUNE UP. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE FUTURE OWNER DRAIN THE FUEL TANK AND LINES, PERHAPS REBUILD OR CLEAN THE CARBURETOR, REPLACE ALL FLUIDS, INSTALL NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES BEFORE DRIVING IT ON THE MAIN ROADS. THE BRAKES FUNCTION PROPERLY. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SECOND OWNER HAD THE CAR PAINTED AND REFINISH THE SEAT COVERS, AND DOOR PANELS BACK IN YEAR 2000. THE PAINT IS WELL PRESERVED. IT IS GLOSSY WITH SOME MINIMAL FLAWS THAT ARE HARDLY NOTICEABLE UNLESS YOU GET REAL CLOSE TO THE CAR. WE CALL IT A GOOD DRIVER QUALITY PAINT.
