SRDT Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Great find! Even in France you will have a hard time spotting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRDT Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I was driving the other day and I saw a very special 405, one with US bumpers! It was a dark gray one that looked like a daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goce Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've seen couple 405's with US bumpers, even looked under the hood, there was no sticker for US market, my thought is crash damage and replacement bumper, the other day i also gave a parked 405 good look over it had the T16 rear spoiler, but was only trim level 3 with 8v engine and FWD.

SRDT Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 They may have used the US specific leftovers parts somewere but in France it is really unlikely to see non catalog cars. Usually those where reimported back to France or sell to Peugeot factory workers. The seats I found for my 309 are said to be leftovers from Japanese market 309 mk2 ; they sell very poorly there and those seats ended on a few late Spanish 309 and at least one 309 currently in Cuba.

Goce Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Dealer is poor countries like my did order very strange options on cars, here very common are 405's with 1,6 carburetor and vehicles with only drivers side rear view mirror, no power steering no AC absolutely bear bones motoring, part of the chosen of the carbureted cars is here in macedonia we had leaded gasoline until 2002, in fact one of the first thing i had to change when i bought my mi16x4 was the O2 sensor it was brown clogged on from the leaded gasoline and it use to throw code.

Mike T Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 The Gordini badge on the Caravelle is a laugh. Â Those cars have all the rigidity of Chef Boyardee spaghetti, so if it had 103 HP it would be uncontrollable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRDT Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 The early Caravelle (Floride in France) had the Gordini engine from the Dauphine, 40hp SAE at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_rye Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Fairmont? Hmmmm.......Those particular Fox cars aren't collectable as far as I know...... Here's a really clean 240 spotted in Albuquerque I remember when these were everywhere. I'll see if I can grab a pic of that Citroen SM that may or may not be around town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
