But when you are lucky to get your hands on a very rare collectable
items that many praise and dream about, you are almost obligated to
restore and maintain it to the factory original condition out of
respect for other collectors. Yes it may be just a worthless damn
peugeot no body wants or cares about besides us and we are not
speaking some pre-war or historic vintage cars but whether you like
it or not, 89 505 sedan body style is very rare, turbo is even more
rare and with 5 speed, it's extremly rare and highest performing
Peugeot ever imported in USA. I bet less than 5 of them in running
condition in US.
