1979 Peugeot 504 Diesel - Very Nice, Very Expensive

The 504, in my opinion, was the most significant Peugeot of all time. Introduced in 1968, Peugeot built over 3 million of these cars through 1983. There were gas and diesel versions. The body styles included sedans, station wagons, pick up trucks, crew cab pick up trucks, coupes, cabriolets, and probably a few more variations that I don't know about. It was built in in Africa, South America, the Middle East, Australia (where, oddly, it was built by Renault under license form Peugeot) and Asia (Where it was built in China as a pick up truck right up until 2009.)

It found its way on to the streets of New York as a taxi and drove through the deserts and jungles of Africa.

The Peugeot diesel engine was used by Ford of Europe in their Granada and Sierra cars, in the Mahindra Jeep like vehicles, in Leyland / DAF vans and other cars. They also found their way, along with the suspension, into the Paykan, the Iranian version of the Hillman Hunter. It was also used in the P4 military vehicle.

In short, it was a car that was respected and loved everywhere... Except in the US, where it was a sales / marketing and PR disaster.

Peugeot was positioning itself as a near-luxury car in the US. It was going head to head with BMW, Audi, Volvo, and Saab. Peugeot assumed that the 1970s oil crisis, along the new higher prices of gasoline, would send US consumers into showrooms looking for diesel cars, as it had done in Europe. It didn't. While BMW, Audi and Volvo introduced a few token diesels in the US, Peugeot basically bet the the farm on them. They lost the bet. Diesels never caught on in the US and Peugeot dealers were stuck with cars no one wanted. Near-luxury car buyers could afford the higher prices of gasoline and had no desire for slow, smoke belching diesels. The few buyers in this market segment who wanted a diesel usually went with a Mercedes Benz car as it was a better known name.

This 504 is in remarkable condition. It has 119,000 miles on it and the seller says everything works. Like most cars of the 1970s, Peugeots rusted badly. This one appears to be rust free.

The asking price for this car is a sky high $9,909.00. That's more than I'd pay for an old Peugeot, gas or diesel. But, if having a funky old diesel means something to you and having one of the nicest ones in North America means even more, this car might be worth the price.

1981 Toyota Celica Sunchaser

I remember seeing one of these in 1981. It was in a Toyota showroom in Albany, NY. That was the only time I ever saw one "in the flesh".

The convertible conversion was done by the Griffith Company. The Griffith Company was owned by Jack Griffith. That's the same Jack Griffith who dropped Ford V8s into TVR Granturas and created the pretty spectacular TVR Griffith in the 1960s.

The Sunchaser was created with the blessings of Toyota and sold through Toyota dealerships with a full factory warranty. Built for roughly 3 years, there were, depending on the source, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 built in total.

The conversion was similar to a number of convertibles of the day (i.e Baur BMW). The roof immediately behind the windshield to the edge of the B-Pillar was removed and a removable fiberglass targa top was installed in its place. The B-Pillar and a section of the roof was left in place and a fold-down vinyl top covered the rear portion of the interior. The undercarriage was also heavily modified. When introduced, the Sunchaser was praised by testers for its structural rigidity.

This Sunchaser is in remarkable condition. The body looks great. My only complaint is the graphics going down the side, but those could be original and are definitely period correct, so I guess they should be left on.

The interior is one of the nicest I've seen in any old Celica. It even appears to still have the factory AM/FM radio.

There are similar styled convertibles available; the Lancia Beta Zagato, the above mentioned grey market Baur BMWs, the Jaguar Cabriolet, etc. All, in their own way, are great cars with better "names" than Toyota. None, however, have the legendary dependability and easy, inexpensive parts availability like the Celica has. There's a lot to be said for that.

The bottom line is, this is a classy, very rare, handbuilt convertible that you could drive everyday if you wanted to.

Here's something for all you Simca fans...

This is a 1967 Simca 100 GLS. It looks to be too far gone to restore, but it might yield some usable, hard to find parts.

The last line in the ad made me laugh... The odometer on this car reads 88 miles. In closing his ad, the seller writes, "It is safe to assume the odometer reading of 88 miles is incorrect."

Reportedly the model will use the platform from the Suzuki Concept R3 which was first exhibited in India, earlier this year. When asked about this, Terada did not give a definite answer and just nodded.

The plan, this prototype will go to Indonesia for the first time and exhibited at the International Indonesia Motor Show 2010, the end of July.

100 million U.S. dollars
For the realization of this product, go Terada, investment is needed at least 100 million U.S. dollars. Currently planning is still done in Japan and there has been no final decision.

If the project is finished scrolling, SIM plans to expand the capacity of its factory in Tambun, Bekasi, are currently only 100,000 units per year will be doubled, 200,000 units per year.

"The funding of 100 million U.S. dollars was only for the preparation of products, not including additional production capacity. If that's for sure, the investment will grow again," says Terada.

This year, Suzuki will be able to penetrate the target sales of 70,000 units. While the 2011 figure is expected to touch the maximum production capacity of 100,000 units.

"There are two options. If additional production capacity to be done, first had to build new factories or assembly facility moved motorcycles. All of it is still possible and not break. Depending principals instruction later," adds Terada.

In Malaysia, some have been modified Cefiro drift style and appearance to be converted to a Nissan Skyline R32, so practically Skyfiro usual, "explains Johan Fardjito, owner of a 1992 Nissan Cefiro has undergone facial surgery Skyline R32. State advances in the drifting community neighbor, making Johan interested to build a drift spec car. After consulting with his friends, Nissan Cefiro was chosen because it is considered to be at least sip a guinea pig. "Caves select Cefiro fairly cheap because its price and body fit to convert so Skyline R32," he added. Johan went to the good fortune when he saw the Nissan Cefiro piled on the sidewalk near his home. "Caves are interested because bodY still good condition, only machines which have been spend age," he said. Not much talking, Johan borer immediately redeem the car and immediately taken to the home modification Das Auto, the number Artery Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. But apparently, the intention to convert similar Skyline R32 has been prepared by him mature. Half-cut set of components Skyline R32 has been obtained before Johan even get his car. "Though my father initially had agreed to build Cefiro baseball, but after he saw Skyline R32 half cut, I think he changed his mind," joked Johan. Incidentally, a friend of Johan provide half cut Skyline R32 stock imported directly from Malaysia. Fun again, the conversion process is not too difficult. "Just simply make a new bracket on the body just to fit the muzzle Cefiro R32 Skyline, once installed it is longer than the original face Cefiro," says Limkokwing University students this. While at the stern, Johan only use lights and rear bumper Skyline R32 GTR for later body knitted in Cefiro. "It takes a little adjustment on the bracket to be mounted lamp is perfect, baseball hard," he added. In order appear Skyline R32 more and more like the original, then the entire body of this Skyfiro painted Arctic White paint from DuPont. Since the purchase in the condition of the half cut, engine and brakes had been built package of the Nissan Skyline R32. Again the process of entering into the engine RB20DET Cefiro machine room shall mean not having constraints. There was no change at all, even though on its mounting. This is because the standard engine which is coded RB20E Cefiro has a construction similar to the engine RB20DET Nissan Skyline R32 GTS default-t. "The difference is only a baseball machine disposable Cefiro turbo back and still single (SOHC)," said Johan. In addition, to support Johan hobby to play drift later, congenital Skyline R32 manual gearbox feels better than innate Cefiro sip that uses automatic. To maximize machine performance, Johan just add artificial Mine's intercooler. "It was a direct influence to baseball's engine performance, but did cave ready make more big turbo instead of later," lid Johan. Eis, I think going to be more exciting again.

1985 Lada Signet 1.3 - A JaCG Reader's Newest Acquisition

Remember Todd? He was the onetime owner of the Mitsubishi Debonair I wrote about back in September. In his e-mail to me about that car, he mentioned that he also had owned a 78 Austin Allegro Estate, 80 Austin Princess, 79 Ford Granada Coleman Milne Cardinal Hearse, 82 MG Metro, 83 Austin Maestro Vanden Plas and a "few Peugeots"; a 504 Diesel Wagon, 505 Gas Wagon and a 604 Turbo Diesel. Oh yeah, he also had "bunch" of Renault R-16s, including a Canadian built Euro spec R-16TS, couple of Le Cars, a Renault Medallion, an Opel Manta, an Audi 100LS, a Citroen GS Wagon, and a BMW 1600 with a 2002 engine and dual DCOE Webers. I published his e-mail and Todd instantly became a hero to the vast majority of JaCG readers.

Todd e-mailed me last week to share his latest acquisition, a 1985 Lada Signet 1.3 Automatic with 48,000KM. I asked him for some photos and a little history and he obliged.

From his e-mail:
"I gotta admit I'm not new to Ladas even though yes, I live in the States and no, Ladas were never imported here. My current Canadian spec Signet is actually my Fourth Lada. Seriously! I've had not one but THREE Samaras prior to owning my current car. I'm not one to be told "no you're not allowed to own one of those" and I'll do what I gotta do to make it happen.

My Current car is 100% legal! It's a 1985 Signet 1.3 Automatic! I found this car via Craigslist. I put a "Wanted Lada" ad on Craigslist in Vancouver BC and got an e-mail from a guy who said he knew of a car available on Vancouver Island. This is the car I have now. I paid $2,600 for it and it even comes with a 1986 running parts car, but I can't bring that in until January...the 25 year old rule again.

This car has 48,000 kilometers from new and is a very well preserved example. The guy I bought it from said it was bought new in Victoria BC and was garage kept and rarely driven. He said when he got the car it still had the plastic on the seats. His wife drove it occasionally and he was good at preventive maintenance and it came with a hand written paper of every little thing he ever did to the car.

I made the Long 16 hour trek to Vancouver Island and back to pick up the car with a car dolly on the back of my Dodge Ram Diesel pickup. I'm not near brave enough to drive an unfamiliar car that rare in one day! Customs was dead easy other than they couldn't find the brand Lada anywhere in their computer, but that only delayed things slightly and soon I had the important Customs clearance paperwork in my hand and was able to register the car.

My plans for the car are just to drive it on nice days and to take it to car shows where I know for sure I'll have the Only Lada there."
I'd bet he's right about that.

This is a great looking Lada and Todd deserves to be congratulated for hunting it down and bringing it to the US.

Don't get me wrong, I love traditional classic cars and I have nothing but respect for someone who restores or buys an old Ferrari, Healey, Alfa, Jaguar, Triumph, etc., etc. But I have a special kind of respect for someone who restores, owns and loves a car that is not considered a traditional classic. Todd gets that kind of respect from me.

A big thanks goes out to Todd for sharing his car and the story!

If you have a cool old classic you think would be of interest to JaCG readers, send me an e-mail with some history (how long you've owned the car, the condition it was in when you bought it, where you found it, etc.) and some pictures and you may see it posted here.

Final drive to the rear wheels was transmitted by rubber-composite drive belts. The engine was an 1108cc Renault engine, an engine most often seen in the rear of the R8.

In 1975 DAF was bought by Volvo and the brand was eventually discontinued. (The Volvo 300 series cars, introduced in 1976, were designed by DAF and had a CVT transmission)

This DAF is right-hand drive. The seller says it runs and drives great, but needs tires, some minor bodywork and some interior work.

This car belonged to the sellers grandfather. It's not perfect, but it's pretty decent. The body is missing a chrome strip and the interior has some mismatched front seats. BUT, the rebuilt engine has just 80K on it and there appears to be little rust.
