The eBay ad runs through the car's history since 2000, when the current seller bought the car. Its 96hp 4-cyllinder engine was rebuilt in 2002 and the car was repainted in OEM-style beige, which matches the awesome brown and beige tweed interior perfectly. The car packs a 5-speed transmission, adjustable European headlights, power windows up front, no A/C, no emmissions equipment (which should be OK in most/all states due to age), and plenty of spares. The car also has non-original Pug mag wheels, which I think might be NA-spec, and they look pretty nice on this car.
Peugeot 505 sedans were sold in the States through 1990 and wagons through 1991, but this model came from Europe. Some differences between NA and ROW models include the headlights, tail lights, roof-mounted antenna, bumpers, gas filler, and exhaust pipe location. These little changes really make the European models that much more stylish, and what's a French car if not stylish??
Check out the slideshow below for more shots of this car. Also of note: David bought the Mazda Chantez that I wrote about a few months ago, and he also has a Lancia Delta and Euro-spec Alfetta at home!

Thanks Dave! Not totally back, but I'm working on it...
ReplyDeleteI always loved the Peugeot...There was something about the brown tint on the windows that made it look rich. I had to go to Egypt to finally get a ride in one. Even though it was a wreck, and used as a taxi...it was still a great ride. Thanks for the post.
