1980 Peugeot 505 review from France
"Comfortable high performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition switch, motor rebuild, fuse box melted, wheel bearings went, suspension had to be rebuilt.
General comments?
In general the car is 20 yrs old, the only repairs made were made to parts that had worn over the past 20yrs which is natural for any car on the road today.
Modified, race suspension - lowered 3 inches, worked motor - 140kw, Holley carb system, various other modifications.
