Hello, I have owned this 505 for 10 years now. But circumstances in my life are changing and I need to sell it. Mechanically the car is great. The engine was swapped from a 2.3 to a 2.5. That 2.5 has a known history. it has about 65k miles on it. The reason for the low miliage can be verified by Rob Courtier, Garage Courtier in Dallas TX. The engine was a warranty exchange years ago on one of his customers. This customer eventually wrecked the car and the engine was saved and stored in a storage for over 2 decades. I purchased the Engine on December 2015. Since then I have driven the car very sparingly. I can give proof for all this upon request.
The Bosch pump is a brand new one I bought from Dubar garage in California a few years ago
The wheels were converted to 15 inches, Brand new tires, Brand new motor mounts, All hoses are brand new. Radiator was rebuilt by a local radiator shop. Brand new Alternator.
The body itself is in poor condition. the car drives great but it does look bad.
- There are 2 dents on the roof from a tree leaf that fell years ago I have done lots of repair on it.
- There is a small rust spot underneath on the driver side
- a fender bender occurred on the rear driver side door. i replaced the door but it still shows.
- the interior is worn and old.
- All AC related accessories, Cruise control accessories were removed. It was too expensive to fix so I did away with it. I simplified the car to its basics
I have quite a bit of spare parts I can give with it.
it is a 5 speed. it drives great, straight on the highway. It will drive wherever it takes you.
The value of the car is the mechanical part. If you want a show car this is not the right body. If you want a diesel with low mileage this is the one!
I also have a spare 5 speed transmission that works just fine and a spare 2.3 turbo diesel that I also purchased from Rob Courtier. That 2.3 has about 200 K
More pictures upon request. I can facetime also and show you the engine running.
