Thread: Peugeot 505 GTI and GLD

Here a picture of my peugeot 505 GTI. I think it's the best peugeot of them all, if you're talking about the combination of beauty, qualtity, comfort and power.

This is my new daily car, a 505GLD from 1984 together with the GTI. The latter is stocked for the winter now.

them is good quality classics you have there

Im surprised to see that they are in such good condition! My aunt had an estate one years ago and i dont think i have seen one for at least 10 years in england!

They are getting quite rare in Europe indeed. In Holland only approx 250 remain. So it's not strange you haven't seen them lately. Most of the remaining have an injection engine. Almost all diesel and carburator versions are exported to Africa. That's why I was very surprised to find an original 1984 Dutch rustfree diesel with the original paintwork. Most of his life he spend in a garage in Portugal, that explains his good condition.

The GTI has had a paintjob by the former owner. Still looks very good, but the rust is coming through at some points already.

nice 505s. Love the Indenor diesel unit. Theres a 1984 505 diesel for sale in the UK...

Nice 505! Very special color too. I assume he had a paintjob recently? The color is so bright!
If he has less than 300.000km and not too rusty, it is surely a good buy. Make sure you check the rear swing arms very good for rust. This occurs often and they are very expensive too replace. Those Indenor diesels are really good quality and can reach 500.000km easily. Mine has 277.000km and runs like new!

Man I like the headlights on those! Here in the States for some reason instead of the one-piece glass headlights, they are a two piece with a plastic surround and a glass sealed-beam style headlight, butt ugly in my opinion! The earlier 80s models had the same setup but with dual round inset glass headlights, with the plastic surround, looked better than the later ones, I think in 86 they switched to a one-piece headlight but they were also plastic and tend to cloud up (Not hard to fix though)
Also the front parking light/turn signal is all amber, instead of amber on one half and clear on the other.
