I’m from Switzerland, living in the US for almost 30 years, and I grew up seeing this, then ugly cars on our narrow roads almost every day. I’m a Ford guy and building me a vintage race car using a 63 Falcon Sprint. I have to tell you, this is probably the cooles little Hot Rod you had on your show! Love it, great find!

Absolument superbe !!! A french car 50' survivor in U.S. !?! Unique !!! La brute ?!? Nice name. Très belle création, bravo !!

One of the coolest retro power i ever seen....This Renault has an unique 4 door cabine design....Amazing build !!

vr6 is a cool engine for sure. crazy to think it's already 30 years old.

love the luggage rack ! Seriously fits the car perfect.

This little beast, has some F1 sound, good job!👏😄

The VR6 is the best sounding engine ever. Love this build

This Guy is a true genius.. A kind of mecanic sorcerer. Well done. Absolutely gorgeous.

A few weeks back, I made a comment stating this was the best channel on KZfaq. Well, I was wrong. It is way better than that! Keep bringing the oddballs, the owner fabricated/built hotrods, and even a few mainstream rides!

Great build. Out of the box thinking. This is exactly what the custom car world needs.

Listen to that sound... it's the reason I still have my 03 GLI til this day.

That thing is amazing! Kudos to the builder/creator/owner.. Love it!

Man I miss the glorious noise of a VR6!! Great build all around, I love every single aspect of it!

I love his creativity and vision...very nice!!

Love it, always appreciate how much time and effort people put into their builds

I remember the Dauphin. I don't remember anyone I knew driving one, but I saw some around. Maybe I remember the advertisements for them. Wow! That was a long time ago. I remember making several long road trips, like Oxnard, CA to South Mississippi and back, before there were inter-state highways. We all chose a type of car, then counted them as we saw them. Turning the odometer over in our '58 Impala station wagon was a group partition countdown. We had a gallon cider jug with a cork, for my two brothers and me to pee in. Odd how something's, such as this video, trigger strong reminiscences. I love what the builder did on this rig. Just pure balls out fun!

The VR6 is a legend!

Man, I haven't had time to catch any of your videos, but I did see this on your Instagram and I knew I had to watch it as soon as you added this video. I can't describe how much I love this ride, a new form of inspiration, thank you very much.

Wow this is my favorite one so far , what a beauty!

That's a neat little car. I love that I never know what I will see on this channel. There is something for every kind of car lover here.

I love the Sound!!!!!! my neighbour had one, it was called "Gordini", You make a fantastic job. Greetings from Argentina

The problem with the WR6 is the head has a spot where the gasket always leaks and you end up with head gasket leaks other than looks like fun

That’s a pretty rad little ride! Definitely don’t see builds like this everyday. Thing looks like a blast to drive!!

Un travail magnifique sur cette Dauphine! Nice job men! :) (Dauphine price in Europe 2500 to 11 000 €)

That thing needs race cams, ITB's and a 6-1 equal lenght header coming out the boot!!! Make it scream man

Nice build! I love this kind of custom. And the engine setup is really cool. I've got also a VR6 in my Golf mk1 and my sharan. The sound is just awesome.

You don’t see build like that often. Looks fun.

Shaun is definitely keeping is word on bringing more Euro build content. Love it!

Crazy little car. Put a bunch of par6ts together properly and you can get a really kickass car. My Mom had a little Renault Gordini back in the late 70's. Crazy little car. Had to heat the motor during the winter so it would not freeze and start in the morning. Remember going out to the garage after dinner, putting a tarp around the motor with a 100W bulb inside and tying the tarp with straps. Was just enough warmth to stop it from freezing. And had to unwrap it every morning after breakfast. Be safe and stay well.

This is a work of art. Respect. Trinidad & Tobago.

Mental. One of the nuttiest builds I’ve ever seen. Great job.

Awesome build! I love different creations that hasn't been done hundreds of times.

Love it. What a fantastic job on the design and build!!🤓🤗

Awesome. Love what you’ve done with the car. Great video. Thanks guys.

Now THAT'S thinking outside the box. Awesome!

Great build shipmate. Thank you for your service.

This is Awesome! France is like 2 hours from over here, and the few times i/we do see this make and model. It's grandma's.. solely the elder-editions 💪🏽

I from grecce this cars where everywhere in the 70s .great build. You dont see every day,thats what i like, and it runs. good video guys.

Good job and good Sound . Thank you for reviving this old French damme cool

Fantastic build, what a cool fellow for having chosen the Dauphine. Hats off to you!

Congratulations from France - loved to see this creation!

Love the creativity and the workmanship. Car looks and sounds badass too 👍👍

That's so stupid and I like it 👍

Never have I thought I would like this car, but this is sick

That is Bad Ass. Something you'd never see. Blowing out GTIs. Cool.

Elle est magnifique "LA BRUTE" 😅... Et dire qu'en France on n'a même plus le droit de rouler avec ces voitures là...😥... Alors Bravo, votre passion nous sauve tous de l'absurdité...😊

We are motorcycle people, we tell motorcycle stories, but we all want this car!!!! SO AWESOME!!!!

That thing just checks all the boxes, unique, rare, fast, and loud.

We love the VR6, one of the best Engines VW has produced. This is just a sick build

Que loco un Gordini, en mi hubo muchos de estos autos, ahora no se encuentran muchos, pero vi en excelente condiciones y originales como salieron de fabrica.

Es hermoso ! Felicitaciones por el resultado 👏💪👍

What an awesome build. Very well done!

My two favorite engine sounds: Chevy V8 and Volkswagen VR6. I love AT! Thanks for the great content!

Buhahahhaa! Brilliant. You just made an old man very happy. My friend’s mum, Mrs Betts, drove me to school in a Renault Dauphin back in the 70’s in SE London. Would love to drive your ‘interpretation on the theme’ screaming down Hurst Road once more.

Such a sick build love it I have no words it's just so dreamy!!!!

Cool that he kept the original paint and rust spots... adds character! Very cool car!

"LA BRUTE" 😅 Nice job, heavy work 💪

This is beyond cool. What fun. He definitely will not be running into another at every intersection

That's a wicked cool machine!!!

The video probably doesn’t do this justice, it’s sounds faster than it looks like it’s moving. Beautiful build, creative design, love it.

The sound of the VR6, so beautiful!!

I used to own a 93 VW Golf Vr6. I miss that car!! Love your car man, great work!!

Oh the sound! Doesn't light the tires, but with that sound it doesn't need to. So nice👍🏼

Cette Dauphine me fait rappeler mon enfance en 1965, rien de comparable avec celle ci. C'était une voiture qu'on ne peut pas conduire sans marquer des arrêts tellement le moteur chauffe. Je parle des régions où il fait chaud en été. On partait tous les weekends en Mer 30kms !! Jamais on a fait le trajet d'un coup. Mais je garde des souvenirs inoubliables.

Sick car. Old and new era connection. Realy nice.

@8:15 has anyone else noticed how well the passengers shades fit his face, it's like they are moulded to his head 🤘

I love the rug . It really ties the ride together.

What a super job building that little monster. I bet it is a blast to drive.

Absolutely beautiful, stunning!

That VR6 sound!!! 😍👌

Just sweet,the Sound, the Look. Realy nice he built this car!!!😉👌👌👌

That car is an ww2 car: french in the outside but invaded by germany in the inside, looks so sick, love it

Looks so cool. I like it. Good design and engine work.

Who doesn't love a VR?!?!? It would be rather simple to go to a 3.6 'big block' for even more power. The RPF-1's look badass on there, and the cantilever/ tube chassis is awesome. Nice fab work. The functionality is definitely on point. Looks fun AF to drive. The Quaife or Peloquin (whichever it has,) is such a welcome upgrade for sure. Imagine the VR with a 30 or 35R strapped to it... I've built my share of VR swapped cars, some all-motor, some F.I. My first and favorite personal build was a 12v AAA all-motor fully-built internal with 02A/ TDI 5th/ Peloquin in my '91 GLI. What a great daily that hauled ass for N.A. and got close to 30 mpg. The boosted ones are especially a blast if you have the resources to keep the trans in one piece. Hardened straight-cut gears and H.D. axles from someone like driveshaft shop, get to be a necessity when you are at 450-500whp+. You get massive props for building such a unique project. I wholeheartedly approve 👍👍😎🤙🤙

This made me remember of a project from here, someone got a VW "Coffin Joe" and installed a BMW V12 at the front. And there's a Willys Gordini (basically an improved version of the Renault Dauphine built here in Brazil by Willys) with a turbocharged VW EA-827 1.8L at the rear, pushing some 300 hp.

Cool AF, the best part is just ripping it!! Probably gets way more Ohhs at the car shows than all that stance stuff. Love it!! 🍺🍺🍺🏆

I really liked this setup, in addition to the car's styling. This Renault is very stylish.

Une voiture qui n'a pas connu le succès au US mais maintenant elle a la cote ! 😉👍👍 Belle reconversion de cette Dauphine export

Of the wall! In Amsterdam there is a restaurant called ‘Dauphine’ with a classic Renault in side as decor. Very cool car

Favorite car you guys have shown thus far.

Our 1960 family Dauphine barely lasted 3 years in a race against oxidizing into a pile of rust dust.

This is awesome. Such a great cool build. 😎👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Crazy build! And that VR6 sound...👌👌👌

Every time I see a build like this it's motivation to go work on mine... a '73 VW Beetle, mid-engine/VW 5 cylinder/Miata suspension.

That thing looks Rad !

Well I’ve got nothing...speachless...dude...so cool😍

that is just so cool! amazing build

Love me a VR6 👌🏼 Even the 12v. They are a bit gutless but still sound great!

That is an awesome build, nice job.

DooD you had me @ VRasix!

Hi, In France, it would be all the rage, more than the old suitcases are missing from the gallery, very beautiful achievement, well done..., French :)

Wow HUUUGE RESPECT for builder of this epic piece of vehicle! ...such a great project! Suche rare /shitty/cool/unknown/unrealiable/old/french/etc car brought back to life aka Frankenstein!.... ...so hard to believe for me that this was created by an American lad, wow. The more respect for you brugh and your vision, passion and love of cars. I'm from Europe (Poland to be exact) and I just love your piece of art

That's a beautiful car built ; I thought I would build something around the tire just so it does look like it comes out of a big hole around it the way it looks like.

I had one origin. Magnificent. Thank you.

So sick sounds amazing love that motor

Finally someone doing the right thing with a Renault. Well done!!!

this is awesome. low buck but so much more interesting and creative

One bad car... I really appreciate the effort and hard work he put into his car awesome...😎💯🇺🇸

Quel délice ce doit être !!! Radical…..

il est trop fort ce guy ! le travail est énorme. il devrait commercialiser le kit chassis . je fais le cheque de suite. encore chapeau bas ! Strong congratulations .
