Peugeot 504 Car Restoration | *RARE* One Owner Peugeot 504 GL Find | Flip My Ride Ep 1

- čas přidán 4. 11. 2019
- So our next flip project begins. This time we have gone back in time to the 70s. We find and buy a 1978 Peugeot 504. A cult classic for some. Also a long distance World Rally winner in its time. Not in a neglected state, but still in need of rescuing. Watch as we take a road trip to bring this classic car home for some restorations and transform this Peugeot into a gem.
Rescuing and reviving old gems like this is exciting and fun but takes a lot of my financial resources. If you enjoy my content and love seeing these classics brought back to life you can help me continue by donating to the channel. Every dollar helps me continue with my passion.

Thanks for watching the video Peugeot 504 Car Restoration | RARE One Owner Peugeot 504 GL Find | Flip My Ride Ep 1 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
In my country (Kenya) the 504 goes for as low as $1800.. we had an influx of the 504s back in the 80s and 90s
Amazing project.
I'm redoing my 1981 diesel 504. This car will outlive my grandsons.
enjoy it!
This Legend was made in Nigeria till 2007.
Yes ooo brother. Your mind dey there
I had a 1978 504 back in the mid eighties. 2 litre 4 speed gearbox. Was a very comfortable and reliable car.
Manual conversation. Blip then Down shifting a manual 504, best sound ever. I can hear it in my sleep.😂😂 Great find Sir👍👍
Thankyou!
We used to make the Peugeot 504 sound back in the day. We would remove the tip from a biro pen tube and use that as a blow pipe; then we would take the pencil screw from the self centering compass and put it on the tip of the sharp compass point against a hard surface (I.e, school desk) then use the blow tube to create a concentrated flow of air on the screw. It would rotate around the tip of the compass and generate an authentic Peugeot sound. It was awesome.
Baie mooi TI! A very nice TI! My my late father had two, an 1800 and a 77 504 TI with the normal square lights and me a 79 TI Automatique with the two round halogen lights in each cluster. Enjoy and Greetings from Pretoria South Africa!
Greetings back. Nice to hear from you.
The cheapest Peugeot 504 listed on Carsale today is $10k! Wish I'd never sold the 1970 504 I had back in the 90's but I moved from NZ to Australia, and Dad ended up disposing of it for me when I decided I was staying in Australia.
You guys are living my life
Lovely i own one
Neatly kept car.
Reminds me when I was young I used to take my grandmother 504 for joy ride, they were very popular in Africa still have lots of them around
Not to many here in Australia. Especially when you sell them to overseas clients.
Lovely video. My dad two just like that in the 1970s brand new. I inherited it in the 1990s as my first car. Still live the 504 best car Peugeot ever made
Thank you Johan for the nice comment. Seems to be a common theme with these old
Peugeots
Johan jy in Suid Afrika met n van soos Lamptecht moet jy wees ej in Pretoria.

@@adriaanpretorius3411 Ja ek is in Johannesburg. Oorspronklik van Pretoria
Good ride my dad used to drive that in 80s and 90s
Whaou an américain version. One people of m'y family bring back an américain version of a 504 break in the soon eighties...In thé pyreneans mountains, Ariège département AT the french and spain frontier... Marvellous with histoire specific equipment and samedi color.
M'y father had a gl too.. Gl meand Grand Luxe in french, what a programm.I remember holidays in Spain without air conditionning, cold towels on thé windows .. I was dying during thé trips while sleeping on thé backseats. Old black dressed women were selling bags of cherry, seated on donkeys😂.
After a small accident, WE had a 504 txi with a Sun roof... And a super radio.. Luxus. One of m'y neighbpurs had a 4x4 french dangel version ... Splendide.
Thé floor was eat bye the rust and i Always found funny to Seat the parade of the road under m'y foots... During trips in Madagascar, South of Tunisie , I Saw with nostalgie différent modèles of 504. What a car
I have the diesel estate version with plenty of spare parts in my garage. It runs on vegetable oil and filtered used oil without much done to the engine. It's always useful to keep a well service banger as a standby incase of a fuel shortage or another pandemic. Also all my boys learned how to take apart and service a diesal car on it.
Thanks for sharing!
My grandpa bought this car new back in 1974, and my dad still have it and use all the time with other grandpas mid 80's toyota corolla and took us to school with them. It's back in Ethiopia and i moved to usa three years ago. I miss so much. I would love to bring it her one day.
Wonderful you still have it in the family. If you watch the series at the end you will see a family like yours who bought my car in Australia and shipped it to Malaysia
It’s so useful in Egypt and so powerfull
Great stuff.
Thankyou
My grandpa used to have a blue one I want one like this one day
Harder to find a decent one at the right price. I sold to cheap in the end. Some are asking 12k in Aust.
Sweet ride.
Thank you
Awesome work mate! Can't wait to see the more.
Thanks mate
Wow, lucky find. Just saw a tidy (2 owner) diesel model here in Melb asking $15K.
Geez I sold for half that. Ouch!
best car peugeot ever made
Yeah they have kind of wandered away a bit.
Pgt 504 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💪💪🦁🦁 et 505 aussi
They are tough. I knew of someone that had a 504 GLD that did over 1m km .
Its a designer's car if not mistaken by Pininfarina, thats why it looks even aged.
Greeting from Egypt bro
Greeting back bro
This is mental - we had three of these (estates) back in the ‘70s and they would have worse rust than that car at a couple of years old - often cars would fail their MOT test at three years old because the bodywork would have rusted through and need welding.
So much salt and damp in the UK. That cars aren’t that good at ten years old, even now.
To see that thing in such a state is unreal.
Cheers mate. Apparently they do rust out pretty bad here as well. This had a respray at some stage. Has a number of rust bubbles but nothing crazy and I have treated them with rust converter.
Not bad but I prefer a manual one with a 5 speed BA10 gearbox. You can also improve its performance a bit by using an electronic conversion kit that is usually put in the distributor... Nice car anyway.
Thanks mate
There were everywhere in Africa back in the 80s basically, the Central African Republic Gov issued to functionaires including my dad as state cars because they were cheap, reliable & I think diesel. Also, they were widely used as taxies. To see one in England so well preserved & left handed is funny. You should've spent that money on your girlfriend instead. Spoilt rotten boy :) I think your dad instigated that waste of money :)
its great car you cant know how to respect this car
El ruido es d la cadena de distribuición
Is it possible to get a new 504 which is automatic
please could you do a EFI conversion ? Holley EFI or MSD atomic have a kit that can be installed . Only a custom adapter plate of where the carburetor seats is needed....or better ye ,do a Chevy performance connect and cruise crate V8 motor( LS3 OR LT4 )
No chance. Car is staying as is. Nonbudget for EFI conversion, as much as it would be nice. Due to the world events it looks like I am now stuck with the car
Hey Joe if you are in Kenya there are guys doing efi conversions on 504s though I am big advocate for keeping things stock. I'm also part of the fivers group so reach out if you are interested.
@@erickimatu2082 please do. am interested .DM me
@@erickimatu2082 @joemusmus@gmail.com
Yeah, horn is on the indicator--and the indicator is on the right side, which Americans didn't like. This looks like a 1977--they moved from a solid Lion to the outline Lion on the grille around that time. Lucky it's a petrol--the diesels were super reliable and durable, but the steering was very heavy and they were insanely slow.
This aint no supercar either mate.
@@FLIPMYRIDE True, but wree talking the difference between 15 seconds to 60 and 30 seconds. One is just slow, but the other is insanely slow.
The carburetor engine had 72 KW and the fuel injection 78 KW. Back then it was not bad but by today's standards it's pretty slow. But they cruised very nicely and comfortably at 130 kms per hour
@@johanlamprecht5577 My Dad owned a 1976 Diesel and I can say that the torque was great, but the acceleration was quite slow. Once at a cruise on the highway it was fine, and the torque made it feel solid and powerful, but it would lose a race to almost anything on the road, even in the day. On the other hand, one reason that it was slow was because Peugeot's Diesel engines weighed almost 400 kilos more than the equivalent petrol engines, with extra reinforcement. They were built to last, and they did.
@@geoffk777 I remember those diesels some of them are still running as taxis in Africa. Unbreakable. My dad had a 1971 2 litre petrol and then later a 1976 model. Both carburaters. Later on got the fuel injected 505 in the early 1980s. The best car was the 1971 model though, it was built better than the later models
Saw that is the GL?
Yes the GL no injection

Good work. What are you from?
Where am I from??
@@FLIPMYRIDE yes .excuse mi l trying to learn english.
@@krimobelhouchet6097 all good. I am in Brisbane Australia
Nice to meet you.l am from Algéria North Africa.personaly l have Peugeot 504 from1974.
@@krimobelhouchet6097 My grandmother used to have a Peugeot 504 from 1972. She always had Somali taxi drivers wanting to buy her car. Apparently they still made them new in Africa in the 2010's. Is that true?
Im confused. is this 504 automatic transmission?! 😲😲😲😲 HOLLYYY!!
Ive never seen one like that. Im used to it being manual transmission.
Yes auto
@@FLIPMYRIDE thats really strange. I really doubt there is any 504 in my country (KENYA) that has Auto transmission. All are Manual.
Great 504 series by the way. Good job. 🔥🔥🔥
@@DavidOmboke thank you mate
Is it still available for sale?
No I sold it to a guy in Malaysia. Check out the video. czcams.com/video/_mv3u2yqcks/video.html
Flip my ride:
So Australia got our USA headlight buckets? 5 speed swaps from a XN6 505 is the thing to do....even better with USA automatic 3.08 turbo diesel pumpkin......70mph cruise becomes under 2,000rpms....very quiet at speed.
I think we got both headlight versions. Dont hold me to that. Alot of parts were shipped here and the final assembly was done by Renault I believe.
@@FLIPMYRIDE
So Aussie versions were assembled from knock-down kit forms from France? Sounds like what Mercedes does with the Sprinter and Crossovers assembled in the USA.....put together from shipping containers full of most the goodies.
Did the Australia 504 sedan version have IRS and rear disk brakes standard (like all USA versions) or did they come with the Banjo solid rear axle and drum brakes seen in other parts of the World?
Yeah exactly and yes IRS and rear discs. Not sure if that was standard though. Also I am not a Peugeot aficionado so I could be very wrong.
Hi guys.. I want to swap my original Peugeot 504 engine and transmission to a better diesel and a 5/6 gear.....
Could you please tell me the best possible engine and transmission for this swap
Antony I am not privy to that knowledge. This is my first Peugeot ever. Try Facebook groups maybe for help.
Antony Rancho, please update me if you find out where to get it. My dad still have his and he would like to restore it. Thanks
Some owners have successfully dropped in the turbo diesel and 5 speed from the 1980s 505/604.
@@WA-fc9gc I read from a Kenyan site that the best swap for a 504 engine and transmission would be a Mark X ( 4GR-FSE 2.5L V6)
@@WA-fc9gc THIS IS THE ACTUAL POST ....(for the 504 its best you use the rear wheel drive Toyota Mark X engine 4GR-FSE complete with its gear box
the 2.5 litre V6 engine develops 200 brake horse power @6400rpm with a torque of 179ft.lb @4800rpm
it will make your 504 sore like an eagle with far belter fuel efficiency as compared to the original carbureted engine)

The mighy 504! Have fond memories of this car growing up!! Has been one of my dream rides .i finally built one for myself... A 504 pickup ..check it out

Hey sir how are u everything's good I need information by Peugeot I have 505 1987 automatic transmission I need to service I need to help me sir pls
What do you need to know. There is a video on the automatic transmission service.
110 horsepower and those are not the correct seats.
These were the original seats that were sold with the car here mate.
