Ahaaaaaa, somebody asks for it............there is one prototype of a 505
convertible and 2 prototypes of the 505 coupe. Designed and produced for
the american market (sidemarkers, US lights, Kat, the works) never gone in
production because........well, you know why. Right now they are sitting
under a blanket in my garage......Just kidding :) wish it were true. Right
now they are parked in the Peugeot museum in Souxau in northern France
under a thick layer of dust, blankets, and sadeness of the people that
wanted them to go into production.
Maybe one day some hobbyist built his own 505 coupe or convertible.
