If you are looking for a really great original Peugeot I don't think you will find a more complete and well cared for car then this one. Not restored...ORIGINAL. Very rare opportunity to own this Barn Find time capsule.
Car is currently "non-op" status with the DMV but in the CA DMV system with no back fees due. This car was well cared for by the owners and is in very nice condition but considering that it has been stored for the last 20 years it should have a complete service performed before being returned to the road. I.E. you should not drive this car home, it should be carefully transported to a mechanic for recommissioning (rebuild carbs, service transmission, replace hoses/belts).

The Peugeot 604 SL was the Presidential, Ministerial and Executive car in France and several other countries around the world. Its elegant, pure lines were designed by Pininfarina. Only 153,000 Peugeot 604 were ever produced, making it one of the rarest Peugeots. Its V6 PRV engine was also used in the Volvo 264, DeLorean DMC, Alpine Renault, Eagle Premier & Dodge Monaco. The automatic gearbox is no other than the Holden / GM Tri-Matic (easy to maintain). The Peugeot 604 is a rear wheel drive.

In case you noticed, ebay bidder "usedgold" placed several bids and then retracted them all. We should have flagged this guy earlier because he has a record of bid retractions. I guess this is better that he do it now instead of later. I wanted you to know that this bidder has yet to contact us directly, ask any questions or inspect the car. He gave ebay a weak excuse in order to get out of his bids.
Good news is he is out of the way. We want to thank the bidders that have called personally and expressed their true interest in buying the car and we have shown the car to several interested parties without disappointment. The current bid is very close to meeting the reserve and we anticipate reserve will be met and the car will be sold. Please call with any questions and to schedule an inspection.
