Car available in Paris

. Sold new in France
. 2nd owner since 1975
. mostly original paint
. very solid floors
. complete service done
. ready to drive reliably


This car has been mostly driven by the 2nd owner in the 70’s
and early 80’s to go from nearby Paris to his villa in the south of France.
It was then kept in the south in a garage to be driven on vacation time
only, and finally wasn’t driven for at least 15 years.
The owner decided a few years ago to put it back on the road and enjoy it
again, before to decide to sell it.
For this, he requested his mechanic to do all what was needed to have it reliable
after so many years off the road.
Below a listing of all that was done (with available invoices)

. Whole fuel system gone through with injectors adjusted or replaced
if needed (3 of them), new tank, fuel pump and regulator, new fuel lines and filter.

_ new spark plugs, points, and ignition wires.

. Whole water system gone through: new radiator, water pump, thermostat
and water hoses

. engine flushed, run with temporary oil, and then filled with good oil,
new filter, valves adjusted

. suspension: all 4 chock absorbers replaced, some bushings and tie rods replaced as needed

. brakes: new master cylinder, new front pads, new brake hoses,
(calipers were redone in 1994 and were still good) All brake discs in good working order.

. gearbox, differential, power-steering, and brake fluid replaced
(p/ s filter replaced)

. all belts replaced

. new tires

. exhaust not recent but in solid condition.

Everything works on the car except for the clock.

Outside:

Most of the car has its (faded) original paint, checked by a paint depth gauge at around 120 microns showing most importantly and before all no sign of bondo, even in the few panels that were repainted.
The paint could be buffed out and made shinny but it has flaws and there are a few tiny spots of rust, as shown on pictures available.
Those spots of rust are minor, but need to be treated, and on the other hand the fenders have the typical rust issues known on those cars, in particular where connected to the engine compartment. They will need to be cut to be treated properly if the next owner wishes to do a proper paint job. To be noted that there is no rust near the fuse box, or behind the glove box compartment. None also behind the rear seats, and in the spare wheel area. The floors are very clean also and have the original undercoating.
The undercoating goes away in a few spots, where only superficial rust can be seen,
except in the typical area in the front near the front wheel where rust is starting to be a bit more serious. In this area, the two bolted sill covers are rusted (mostly in the front) and need to be replaced (180 euro each in Germany)
As important as the fact there is no bondo on this car, all panel gaps are as they should
and all is very well aligned, contributing to make the car stand out despite its faded paint.

Most chromes are in very nice shape and would come out very shinny if polished, with the exception of the ones on the upper part of the doors and rear fender that have slight pitting but still look super nice.

All glasses (tinted) are in excellent shape.

The car is in great running condition and was driven recently to 220km/ h for a short while, just to check if the car still has its full power. it seems to…..
