My dad still have his 404 from 1969 , blue dark outside and blue dark inside in lether with 61.000 kms only , 1.6 dual carburator , looks like brand new!
what a beautiful car! I drive only 70s cars that looks like this one. I agree 100% about comfort and reliability. I love my cars and will never change for a new one. As long as i can maintain them, they will keep rolling. Wish this gentleman a long and happy life.
I saw the thumbnail in this video and looks like the guy inside the car got arrested. However when watching the video and how 90 year old Jacob Domi in this current year 2024 owns his Peugeot 404 since 1975, this 49 year period is as long as I'm alive! God Bless You Jacob and hope you have many successful years with your Green Peugeot 404! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The 404 sedan was my first car as a teenager in South Africa. Rusted out '71 model with a great running engine. I spent the summer working to have enough money to have a guy remove the rust and repaint it. I think I paid $200 equivalent for it in 1976.
I am glad to see this and hear from the Old Man. In fact I am also a Peogeot old cars lover. I am in Tanzania . Age 72. I have this collection of Peogeots 404 saloon 504 saloon 504 pickup 505 saloon 505 pickup All from 70s to 80s. What I can borrow from the Old Man is never sale and regular maintenance.
My dad bought a second hand Peugeot 404 Familiale (with third seat row) used by the Amersfoort police late 60's, so we went with 2 adults and 4 children on holidays with a front to back long cargo rack mounted on the roof filled with trunks and a huge bungalow tent. In the Alps on the Brenner Pass we had frequent stops because the engine started boiling, so long waits for the steaming to stop and add snow water ... unforgettable days. After that one the income went up and he changed to several new consecutive 504 Familiales over the years, always fitted with one optional extra, an in his eyes and truly indispensable interval knob for the front wiper and a wiper on the back window, invariably and rightfully so complaining that the previous model was sturdier build.
The 404 is a LEGEND, this car replaced the camel fro travelling through the desert and this 'Break"(estate) probably first lead a hard life in Europe before being exported to Africa. This car established the legend of Pigot' in Africa together with the 504. And the break is such a strong workhorse and easy to repair. Bon chance to Mr Jacob Domi may God bless him
Sir, you are an absolute legend. Thank you for preserving this iconic vehicle. This looks like a late sixties or early seventies model. It is a testament to your love and dedication that you have kept this car running for so long. This comes from an age long gone by when products were made to last.
My family lived in Tanganika/Tanzania in the 60/70’s dad had a Peugeot 403 it never broke down or gave any trouble. It was one of his big regrets leaving behind when we left.
Excellent. I had a 1970 404 wagon.Mine was maroon, 4-speed on the column. Back seat wasn't split, just a fold-down bench. The rear cargo deck is wood with rubber strips and had a cavernous capacity. The stock seats were incredibly comfortable. Gigantic front disc brakes.
I hope his family and his future grandchildren keep this car to appropriate of their grandfather. Because this man here worked so hard and brought this car and never sold it only to treat this car as part of his family and if isn’t for this car they he wouldn’t been nothing without that car. So show some respect for this owner and his car.🚗
Dude takes pride in his ride, and well he should. Whether you have money to burn or need to pinch pennies, it's good to take care of your things, and keep them in good repair. I had an old Alfa Sud with a dud clutch, still regret taking it to a breaker's yard...
Maintenance! Go and tell the government o, all parties! Too much waste of money in GH due to lack of maintenance. His calculation is off though. Three thousand cedis in 1975 is not equivalent to 3,000ghc in 2024. You will have to factor in inflation, redenomination and all. It won't be ice water money!
@@major1891 Oh, that's why he said it can only buy ice water. But the equivalency math is incorrect. Based on (Treasury Reporting Rates Of Exchange As Of March 31, 1975)) document on_line, the exchange rate for the cedi to the US$ was 1.138 cedis (as of March 1975). So if we use the US$ rate, he purchased the car at around 3K US$...(then change the 3K US$ to cedis for today's equivalent).
Époque où la France rayonnait en Afrique, dans sa totalité et pas simplement en Afrique francophone ! Politiquement et commercialement ! Maintenant a cause de Macron on s est disputé avec la terre entière ! On notera la transformation : levier de vitesses au plancher alors que toutes les 404 avaient des leviers au volant.
This gentleman is the true definition of COOL, CALM & COLLECTED
I wish the gentleman safe and reliable driving😂
What a lovely man! May he live to 120 - and the Peugeot 404 too!
This 404 is a surviver for sure! Congrats to Jacob for looking after it all these years.

This man is such an inspiration, keep driving papa!!
A PEUGEOT 404 Estate is rare last saw one in the 90s! This car needs some love. Bodyworks on us. No CHARGE!
I hope Pimp-My-Ride shops would find him
I learned to drive in a 505 station wagon diesel stick in Vancouver B.C. in the mid 80's
I am glad to see this and hear from the Old Man. In fact I am also a Peogeot old cars lover. I am in Tanzania . Age 72.
I have this collection of Peogeots
404 saloon
504 saloon
504 pickup
505 saloon

All from 70s to 80s.

This is my kind video!
Bless this man ❤
When you're not rich but you keep your ride alive and walk with some dignity. Mad respect to this old man.
Thanks GBC for showing us this. We need more legendary content like this

I had the 404 and my dad had a 504 which he bought new when we lived in SA. Mine would boil over on longer trips too.
What a beautiful and inspiring Ghanesian gentleman! . . .
Dr. Jacob epitomizes all my experiences of his beautiful and vibrant African country!

Sir I Salute you.
I love how passionate he is about his beautiful, well preserved car. Proud of him

This was good content a man and his machine. Looks young for a 90 year old + 🙌🏾
We had one in our village and it disappeared in the 80s, ever since I have never seen another one moving. Love from Kenya
My dad used to own one. 404 pick up KMG 025 he sold it for 12k in 1988. I wish I can find the buyer and reposes it

Gentleman Jacob keep driving sir

This guy I love. 🦁
The 404 is a nice ride!
I had a 404 a bit over 40 years ago. Very comfortable seats. Quirky car though.

Mega intro😂👍
Young man
Interesting! Someone should help him restore and not entreat him to part ways with it.
🤗❤️👍💯
Is i possible that it can be a SAAB rear end on this PEUGEOT ? Just wonder , because I've ever seen a station-wagon on this 404 🤪😅👍
Mr. Jacob Domi a favour, sell me the car please sir
Hahahah
Unfortunately no head rests. Makes it dangerous. Hope no one bumps from behind.
I have Peugeot Racing Bike, Go Peugeot 🖖🖖
