1975 DAF 66 Matahon Coupe 1.3

Summary:

A fun Ferrari-alikn e chick-catcher from the seventies!

Faults:

I am very satisfied with my car, I have owned it for twelve years now. When I purchased it, the previous owner had made a full engine service so the following four years passed without any attention from me. Unfortunately, the transmission broke down and had to be replaced with an used one from a similar car, including new transmission belts. I also had to buy new rear brake shoes and a new master cylinder, due to the winter storage...

General Comments:

The body is almost totally free from rust, but would look better having a respray...

A couple of years ago, I found a brand new engine! This following summer it will be installed and fitted with two Weber carbs and a modified exhaust system. Then, it will be a real GTI-killer!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Beautiful coupe; lucky is whoever can keep one in good condition these days.

The fact that it's rust-free speaks volumes about how good this car is. Virtually no car from the 1970s is rust-free.

Those who made this vehicle in the Netherlands were also linked to Volvo. The Volvo 3 and 4 series came from those plants.
