Peugeot 505 SR: The Incredible Restoration Journey from Paris to Girona. FULL MOVIE

[@MrPod15]

I had a 505 SR new in 1987 with the 7 seat version. I had the optional GTi alloy wheels and a Blaupunkt radio cassette player. I was the envy of many as I unloaded three of my son’s band members, a complete drum kit, guitars, amps, stands etc. Happy memories, thank you!

[@alcalatechnology]

Haha, thanks for watching!

[@checheppurnama6973]

This car reminds me when I was still a little kid. My late dad had this Peugeot 505 back in 1978, and this car was the first one I learned to drive in 1983 when I was still 15. And guess what, I still keep this car with me, still in pretty good condition.

WOW this is the kind of car that needs to be restored more often! Fun, lovable, European cars from this era are just the best, but rarely get the money invested in them that they deserve.

I love the way this 505 is treated and restored! Perfect with ‘allure’, the way it deserves! Perfect color combo!

My first car was a 1985 Peugeot 505. They are fantastic cars. I would love to get one restored as beautifully as this one was.

[@alcalatechnology]

Well.. I can tell you that the drive is super majestic! I loved it

[@sts1957]

Fantastic work. Such care and craftsmanship. I had a 1983 505. Probably the best all-around car I ever had. Wish I still had it!

[@1phildefer323]

Incroyable 505........C'était un temps où les SUV n'existaient pas....

[@alcalatechnology]

Hahaha! True!

[@marcusott2973]

Only the Matra Rancho or a 3 door Range Rover existed then, as SUV's. That must be one of the most solid 505's I've seen in a long time. Here in Austria road salt claimed most of them.

[@materialprufer1024]

Masterpiece, over every expectation. This is real devotion!

[@alcalatechnology]

Thank you for watching us!

[@ernestheind]

It's beautiful and inspiring what you achieved with this 505. As a owner of a 505 it's a dream to reach that level of prettyness. One little constructive comment is that the valves in the engine are a little bit off in calibration; you can hear them knocking in idle and i can tell because when they're well adjusted they shouldn't sound at all. It's a very unique sound. After the wear and tear of the engine you shouldn't use the factory calibration. Keep up the good work and i'm sad that i live across the world because i would love to send my 505 to you guys to restore it

[@Blackhorse-e8b]

This car is very popular among Arabs in North Africa because they used it as a taxi and it proved to be solid and durable and can travel up to a million kilometers.

[@alcalatechnology]

Really? Wow! Thank you very much for watching us!

Hello Alcala - Daniel here from Australia again. I very much appreciated the interview at the end, that man will enjoy his new Peugeot. I restore Vehicules too and Alacla is my inspiration. your video makes me try harder. I've shown these videos to some young teenage men, to invigorate them to aim higher. So, Bless you.

Hello Daniel, I am really proud and happy to read your comment, thank you very much to give us this value, really appreciate it! Best regards and big hug!

The Peugeot 505 is one of a Kind. My Grandad had a Red Estate one and used it as a delivery car for his Flower shop. It Covered almost 300,000 Miles over 30 Years with very little issues and now i have it in a Garage. They are still being used today as Bush Taxis in Africa due to there durability and having High ground clearance and Available in 7 Seats also with a 3rd row as an option. Peugeot dont make cars like this anymore.

[@alcalatechnology]

Glad to hear this! So cool! And happy you still have it! Best regards from Spain!

[@lucenmarcosgarage5649]

Totally blown away. The work is FAN-TAS-TIC.... also, an American living in France and wanting an old French car to have restored is even more mind blowing. Finally somebody that doesnt do a porsche, merc, quatro. Kudo's!! Wish Alcala was closer, i'd have them do my 505. Only comment i'd have: Why pick the wildly expensive TRX wheels/tires when 15 inch look-a-likes are much cheaper to get tires for? Also, I don't like the black center caps.

@@alcalatechnology I'm from Indonesia, and I had one in 1988 when I was still at university, namely a 1981 Peugeot 505 GR manual transmission, production number 80, I know exactly what's on the bottom, especially the middle exhaust which often has holes due to rust. I memorize the engine parts because it still uses a carburetor. The temperature problem of Peugeot cars always haunts all Peugeot car owners in Indonesia, because in Indonesia the temperature is tropical so the temperature in the radiator is often problematic, finally I found a solution, namely, replacing the extra fan with a BOSCH brand Merchedez fan with 13 fan blades, so that more air is emitted. faster and cooler to the radiator, the results are quite successful but it is a bit noisy because the fan sound is a bit loud. And another problem is that the clutch pedal is very hard to press, so if you have a Peugeot you should choose an automatic transmission so you don't complain about the clutch pedal when the roads are busy and jammed.

Why would anyone want to restore a Peugeot 505 in the first place, afterwardsall you have is a 505 Peugeot that wasnt all that great to begin with?!!

[@alcalatechnology]

Well, every customer has a desire, and we make this true.

[@emilefouquet9005]

Of all the different Peugeot Models from 1960's the 505 did not have anything to boast about other than its contemporary body design. The 505 Turbo Diesel was not too bad, however there weren't any examples to be found that had in excess of 100k Miles. The 505 D was dangerous to drive with 4 occupants due to its pathetic Low Power. Their 505 Turbo S was only available in the color Black and 5 Speed Manual Transmission. It was a total failure in the US mainly due to the morons that were running Peugeot Motors of America. The vehicle performance was from mediocre to poor, and not competitive with BMW, Saab, Volvo or Volkswagen. Shouldn't waste any time or money on this junk, but I would on any Citroen Model from 1939 to 1974. To date, a Citroen DS21 Pallas was the best motor vehicle ever produced. Do some homework to learn why.

[@alcalatechnology]

Shame you do not like the car, very car and customer have his thoughts about.. but I hope you liked the process!

[@emilefouquet9005]

@@alcalatechnology It's shame that you do like it. Do you know what is the criteria used to determine the quality of any automobile ? You obviously do not, such as 85% of the motoring public. Appearance is subjective. There are numerous vintage vehicles worth restoring or duplicating, any Peugeot 505 or 604 is not one of them. To love a motor vehicle for sentimental or childhood memories does not make it 'any good'.
